They are all the way out on the court. No need for a fine, if the NBA is even allowed to fine a ref.

For decades theyve normalized being whiny spoiled entitled little bitches who confront referees whenever the calls don't go their way. And that's how we got where we are now

The NBA tells the refs what to focus on, how much to allow and reviews their performances for postseason assignments so part of it needs to lay at the feet of the NBA office.

Embiid overreacted, and there's no excuse.

But she should not be an NBA referee. The NBA needs to be more aggressive in calling technicals for flopping and needs to get rid of officials who instead reward it.

Frankly, the offensive foul on Embiid looks like the right call. Yes, Wemby also flopped but Embiid drive directly into him and flopped down as well.

Embiid isnt going to get the benwfit of the doubt on any of those as he is a huge flopper and becoming one of the biggest crybabies in the league

He could flop on every play from this point forward and never catch LePuss

Well that's partly because he only plays in about 50% of their games.

Embiid twisted his ankle falling down in warmups. Never seen a clumsier athlete in my life.

do you put a lot of stock in the +/- gutter? or is it more accessible than, say, PER or eFG?

makes sense...practicing his go to move in warm ups...its dangerous to perfect pro level flopping...

I feel like part of the problem is that Embiid has gotten too bulky for his frame. He can't manage all of that mass gracefully. He's been cultivating mass, and now it's time to start harvesting.

To me, +/- is JUNK!

Wiggins getting paid at least 27 million to suck ass. Dude was JUNK last night.
