Brian Scalabrine says OKC's flopping is ruining basketball and takes away from SGA's greatness 😬
"We’re all getting caught up in the flops and all that stuff that people are not going to understand how great Shai is… . You know who's not taking a dive? Stephon Castle. You know who's not getting a good whistle? Stephon Castle."

I just realized.
Is Adam Silver not worried about flopping because it extends games and allows for more in and out of game ad breaks?
Why would he be incentivized to go after flopping if there can be more ad breaks, ad reads, and ratings are up?
Watching the refs miss the out of bounds call off Chet, then Mitch Johnson wave relentlessly in the refs face for a challenge and not give it to him, to then immediately see Shai fall down and get his 20th FTA …
That is the first time in my 15 years of watching the NBA I have legit turned off a big game of this caliber out of unenjoyment. On my way to the gym and don’t give a fuck about the result anymore.
Fix your product now Adam Silver
