They know better not to, because Soften is manufactured and protected by the league, evidenced by his recent MVP trophy.
Notice that the league is always coming down on his side in post-game reviews, too. It's a sunk cost at this point--they're committed to the con.
that exum play where the league claimed he wasn't in legal guarding position was f***ing hilarious. so, if i can get someone running at a diagonal, i can just plow into their face? you have to be kidding. does his hold if my name doesn't rhyme with mames nardon?
But but but... it was all Melo's fault Part of me wants him to find a team and play decent ball, the other part is scared this team might be us
One of these days Hardens bs is going to lead to a player attacking a ref. Silver needs to address this with all officials. "In the case of James Harden, unless it's an obvious foul, always err on the side of it's a flop"
so last night with hardens obvious flop against Gobert, will he get fined or did the league pretty much looked the other way either flops
What they should do is ban certain moves such as extending your arms, swing through (which I thought they already did), and the worst of them all, when an offensive player initiates contact. It should be a no call, or called an offensive foul if it was deemed purposeful to draw a foul.
