CAME IN HERE TO SAY THIS...
THE OFFENSIVE PLAYERS GET SO BABIED NOWADAYS,
AND COMMIT SO MANY FLOPS.
WE CANT COMPLAIN ABOUT SOFT nikkaS TAKING CHARGES,
BECAUSE THEY ARE MOSTLY LIKELY TO GET IN FOUL TROUBLE GOING FOR THE BLOCK.
GOTTA TRY TO BALANCE OUT THE fukk shyt.
:devil:
:evil:

yea theres that two, you really cant go for the block when you have nikkas flopping at the rim

The problem is you have to allow help defense on some level, so putting something like that in the rules isn't feasible.

I despise what the charge has become in basketball, and the circle only made it worse imo because refs are so concerned with where the defender's feet are they aren't able to accurately gauge the rest of the body position in relation to the offensive player.

Outside of getting rid of the charge entirely, I don't see a perfect solution.

only way to fix it is get rid of that lame pump fake foul, and make fouls reviewable, and flops penalized...

Have a dedicated ref that reviews each foul on the sideline and can overturn obvious flops. It would take him 10 seconds to look at a slo-mo and tell if its a flop. It will make the game longer but if nikkas like CP3 know they will get a foul or tech if they are caught flopping then he wont be tempted to do shyt like this....

At some point the flopping players need to take responsibility for hurting the game.

Regardless of how you feel about the refs and whether they should be able to or not, they've proven incapable of determining flops from legit fouls.

Yea basketball its at its worst point ever as far as flopping and reffing is concerned...its even worse than soccer now. Soccer refs have gotten a lot better in recent year not awarding fouls for flops and even penalizing flops. Basketball refs are way too reactionary with their calls...whenever a player drives in you're just waiting for the whistle cause you know its gonna go off like 75% of the time at least. They need to tone it down and start giving technical fouls for flops or the problem's gonna keep getting worse

I dont like the idea of refs reviewing flops in-game because i like the fluidity of the game as-is, but they should fine/suspend players for flopping after the fact. Heavily.

didn't the NBA say they were going to implement technicals for this?
