For all the talk about how skilled the players are, there are too many that flop, flail, and throw themselves to the floor trying to get a call. Paul and Booker do it constantly and even Brunson just lays out on a lot of his drives.
The solution is simple but refs refuse to swallow their whistles. The no call would help eliminate the futbol antics.

I'm convinced my idea would instantly reduce all these flopping/charade tactics.
First secure a sponsorship with Charmin. I'm sure they'd love the advertising and the NBA can donate all the proceeds to whatever charity.
Second, create a new award called the
Charmin Ultra-Soft player of the year/week/month. The award is a trophy with a silver toilet paper roll on top and the bottom is laden with teddy bears and hearts. It's given to the player who complained the most/flopped the most during the game.
These NBA players ego's would compel them to never talk to the refs again. Imagine Draymond Green getting the Charmin Ultra-Soft player of the year award. He'd NEVER be able to live it down. Any conversation an analyst can just go "Draymond why are you talking, you literally were the softest player of the year"
I'm convinced the problem will fix itself in 2 months without a single rule change necessary. After which the NBA can drop it since it did it's job.
Holy crap the Warriors had 70 rebounds
Looney started and got 22 himself

Unfortunately it is not guaranteed.

That´s what happens when Curry, Thompson and Poole chuck away from three. Combined 16/42 from three.
I still think the Warriors lack of size will be a detriment. If they shoot lights out, it mitigates it somewhat. If shots aren't falling, lack of size becomes problematic. Curry's shooting % is way down from previous seasons, but he can still get streaky and put teams away. Klay's is up and down as well, but that's to be expected coming of a long layoff.
There are 7 game 7's being played this weekend between the NHL and NBA. Amazing !

I don’t see any team giving him what he thinks he should get. Not even the NYK. That’s why he is going to opt in and see if he can raise his stock. He has already cost himself a lot of money betting on his own lazy self. He is not going to get the contract offers that were on the table a few months ago.
Celtics defense suffocating the Bucks. Defending the rim and the 3-point lline. Without Middleton they have no pull up shot creator.

Yep, down goes my pick to come out of the East.
Heat/Celtics should be a great series. Top 2 seeds in the East.
Every voter who put Booker on their MVP ballot needs to have their eligibility revoked.

Eh. It's a regular season award. Booker is a clown but his team had the best record with CP3 missing a good chunk of time. I'm sure there was similar sentiment in 2007.
