I didn't watch either game was over halfway through first quarter but from what I read yes smh. Can't wait till a defender gets there moneys worth on one of these clowns since the refs think it's ok but that's likely just wishful thinking...I had turned it off by this point. Challenge was unsuccessful too?
I will say, they’re much better about not calling this stuff in the playoffs, as James Harden can attest to.

What mediocre Caucasian athlete is going to tell Kyrie to shut up and dribble?

No problem with what? Should've been an offensive foul. Nothing flagrant about it though. Or at least there shouldn't be. Seems like if there's any contact to the face they upgrade it. Looked incidental trying to draw it though. Dudes lean into to draw contact in literally every game.
If defenders want to run to a spot to just to flop and fall on their back to draw an offensive foul, I don't really have a problem with this.
It’s not lebron so sportscenter and pundits won’t pick it up. Spread zones of that hate around racsists

The NBA definitely needs to get this stuff under control. shooters are launching themselves into defenders and getting the calls.

They'll probably review it during the offseason, call offensive fouls to begin next season, then everyone will gradually forget.

Steph led with an elbow and hit Dennis in the face/chin should've been a flagrant 1.

If a defender leaves his feet and lunges straight at you, that’s completely different
However if a defender is flat and the guy jumps sideways or into them, definitely an offensive foul

The absolute worst call in the NBA is the rip through. Straight spamming the rule book. It’s a bailout call if the player doesn’t know wtf to do and wants to take advantage of the dumb rule.

One could argue SOME of these perimeter fouls (which are trash) are the same ones that been called on the block for years.

Curry caught ALL that chin on Schroder
Gasol looking just as useless as in the game.

@ Steph Of course teams wanna slap you around. That's how it goes. Every championship team that falls has went through what you going through. Do something about it.

I'm not saying it was flagrant or anything like that although that may be debatable considering the leagues new standards but that's not what I was getting at. It wasn't an offensive foul even after review. That's a problem.
Also beating a defender to the spot and stopping and offensive players predictable momentum is not nearly the same as jumping into someone to sell contact and throw up what really isn't a legit shot attempt. Honestly when I played I hated taking charges and tried to get to line as much as possible but this is ridiculous and if u read the comments on that vid that aren't celebrating a 40 yr old man quoting some YouTube kids you'll see plenty of people feel the same.

Read this article last week about from a ref's POV.

Agreed.
Disagree here. Both are fishing for a foul and a form of legal flopping.
If player A blatant leads with his shoulder and sends the defender flying, I think that's worthy of an offensive foul. The running to a spot and then falling on your back is a cringe part of the NBA IMO.

He kinda explains the difference in the vid as far as going straight up and even in alot of those clips they didn't call the foul and rightfully so. Now they're calling it almost every time. Has officiating actually gotten worse or does the nba just want more points and fantasy stats for the stars?
