Why The Raptors Fall To Pieces early in his career Lowry had a reputation as a petulant quitter. Working very very hard as long as things were basically going his way. A few things go wrong, he flies off the handle and starts to pout. this has gone away in low presssure situations... but now... in high pressure situations the real Kyle comes through. also, Derozan is not good enough to create stuff all alone so when Lowry goes sideways.. it all goes sideways. that's my spit-ball/brainstorm explanation as to what might by happening when the Raptors go down by 10 and a few close calls don't go his way. the personality of a team is reflected in the personality of its leader. Lowry just throws up his hands and says "fuck this shit". | ||

It's a TO prone team that's probably a bit too confident in their shot so they have lapses and Curry bails them out. I can't think of a previous championship team like them. They seem more complacent than most. Also, I know reddit is filled with idiots but this "Westbrook shut down Curry" thing is driving me nuts. I literally went back on stats.NBA.com to watch their matchup in the series. He's still a bad defender! They both are! | ||

They both are! yeah. though i think westbrook is better than curry because he at least has the physical skills to defend well, he just gambles a lot and doesn't play smart defense.

If the refs won't do anything about it the players should. One thing I don't really get about the flailing: its an explanation, not an excuse, right? You don't want players flailing, its unnecessary, causes injuries (to eyes often), and it makes the refs' (who already are in the shithouse with the fans) jobs much harder. | ||

Even if Draymond stops flailing into the legs and nuts of OKC players, the league should look to eliminate flailing as a tactic. Plus that he does it even when not injuring people doesn't mean its "Just Draymond being Draymond" it means he is always doing illegal things and gets away with it. | ||

Green is a dirty player, but he plays for the Warriors and is crucial to them so the league excuses his behavior. I'm not sure him getting slammed by a Perkins-type of player would make him stop pulling his bullshit, but at least it would make the issue harder to ignore for the refs. | ||

They should really look at this... it's one thing to say that in the heat of the moment, when there's contact, a person may flail a bit... but at this point it's really obvious that Draymond is just doing it on purpose and using the "it's just incidental" as an excuse. | ||

Here is a pretty easy solution (obviously not for this year) that wouldn't slow down the game: There is just an eye-in-the-sky type of ref at each game (or in a central office) that watches the games, and if he thinks he sees a flop he rewinds the game and makes sure. Then he just pages it into the refs and on the next stoppage a tech is given to the flopper, or guy who tripped another guy on a fast break, etc. The refs don't review, they just obey. Tech, 1 shot, move on. Obviously 2 techs is still an ejection. And lets say a guy flopped successfully and tricked the refs, you don't even need to take back the foul shots, or rescind the fouls, you kind of say "Well, was it worth it fella?" Its amazing something like this is not already in the game because it really helps the refs. Aside from them being slower and older than the players, the intentional deception that players engage is one of the hardest parts of the job. Plus fans hate it, and it causes unnecessary dangerous situations (for both the flopper and floppee). 3 Birds, 1 stone. | ||
