Not only when they don't call the flagrant, but how many times have they just ignore Finch begging them to look at a review for someone getting hit in the face and they won't? Then anytime one of our guys have a questionable call they immediately review it. Very frustrating to be on the short end of the stick repeatedly. Nba is rewarding the teams that flop, that are great offensively, not the teams that are grinders and win by trying to play great defense.

That's what I said during the game. Its garbage. Big are getting punished for being bigger and stronger. That's just crazy. In the 80's/90's it was tough luck, if found yourself in a spot where Shaq is on you, you are dead. To bad so sad. Today? Shaq gets a foul for domianting you. If you are a guard, they can't touch you at all but you can harasses a big all toy want because they are bigger. Its trash.

KAT get so many offensive fouls that would not be called back in the day, he is using his speed and size to body people but the NBA doesn't want that. Bigs are so hamstrung. Guards get ridiculously preferential treatment, that's why the big man started to die and that's why post play doesn't exist. Its inefficient to go into the post, you get your ass kicked and have to take a tough shot. Makes way more since to just be small, throw up some BS and get to the line.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

It might alter a bit of our big ball, but I think the guy who can really benefit is actually Jaylen.
