In the first clip, watch Harden's hips. They go right into Jokic's groin, that would have been painful. Plus it's Harden so who cares.

The second clip, looked like a clear flop. However, Powell was hand checking with both hands which is a clear foul. Jokic was exaggerating to point it out since the refs were too blind to see it.

Sir, we had a poster here who claimed Joker flopped as much as Lebron.


Do you have any evidence that he doesn't flop as much as Lebron?

Yeah I've heard getting hit right in the vagina can really hurt.

In the NBA, flopping refers to a player intentionally falling or staggering after minimal or no physical contact from an opponent, with the goal of drawing a foul call on the opponent.








It's stunning to me that people still watch the NBA. Thread title caught my attention and I knew it would give me a good laugh. How can people find endless threeballs with a nice flop frosting on top of the shite cake that is the NBA entertaining? No rhythm, no flow to an offense, nothing. Every time I'm in a bar getting a burger and there's a game on, it's laughable how terrible the product is.

What I hate about NBA refs is when they don't see the foul but call it anyway. Or they anticipate a foul and call it. Just because a guy fell down, doesn't mean you have to call a foul. If you didn't see it, don't call it!

Admittedly, my sports viewing goes from football from August to February, college baseball and hockey until the summer months and UFC to carry me over until football again so I don't watch NBA. I knew it had to be atrocious though when even the talking heads were going on their tv and radio shows and talking openly on the crisis the NBA is facing with viewership and every one of them roasted the product. The NBA has allowed their game to become a boring, clunky, steaming pile of garbage and I say this as a guy that watched a good bit of NBA 10 years ago.


Too much flopping. Too many threes from guys who have no business shooting them. Lack of any type of offensive structure. I watched a game the other day while I waited for my food for a few minutes and I think maybe 3 minutes of clock time went by and every shot taken was a three.

Someday, hopefully soon, people will realize that no one cares if you watch the NBA or not.

For some reason, people that don't watch the NBA have to let everyone know that they don't watch it. Like a type of virtue signalling.

Coaches can challenge foul calls.

It’s pretty wild to me that y’all can’t at least level with why Lebron flops.

You don’t have to like it. But c’mon. You have to know why he started doing it.

It’s weird and seems to be an nba only thing here. Someone always has to give an essay about why they don’t watch.


No one cares bro.

this take is as bad as the ones you laugh at here all the time that diminish how good he is.

Seems like something Adam Silver would say.

Not really. Someone talking about why the NBA has lost their viewership and outlining that it’s mainly due to the awful product they’ve been putting out isn’t virtue signaling. I can’t imagine watching this shite product that is todays NBA and thinking the viewer is the bad guy.

Perhaps if your commissioner cared, he’d work to make the game more watchable.

So you don't even watch it but somehow you know that the product is shite.

Yes because I don’t live under a rock. Occasionally, they may have a tv at a bar and grill and they may just have NBA on. Not to mention major sports commentators have been roasting the NBA’s product for awhile now and then for a cherry on top, there are threads like this one with X clips like the OP. Also, as I said earlier, there was a time I watched a good bit of NBA. The product went down the tubes and I checked out. Apparently it’s only gotten worse.

Why are you still under the impression that anyone here gives a single wet frick if you watch the NBA or not? If you see an NBA thread just move on bro.
