So you have to figure out a way to keep it together.
And we will look for, just like anything in the playoffs, all the times where there might be a little extra stuff there that we feel like may be over the line.
You know...
The OKC flopping debate's interesting because, you know, I always use this, Brian.
People think NFL officiating's worse, and I'm like, no, they have 50 cameras.
The first Super Bowl had like three.
They see everything.
It's like microfilm at a library when I was a kid.
The officiating's great, but you can see everything.
And I look at OKC and the flopping and I'm like, well, every game's televised.
You know, now slow-mo, the camera angles are better.
I do think it's become a little bit too central to SGA's game.
It's not very aesthetically pleasing.
I think if they win another title, Brian, I think, you know, like the Harden move.
Commissioners do this all the time.
They don't care who wins championships, but they do care about the quality of the aesthetic.
If it looks good or bad, they change the NFL catch rule.
Can you see the NBA, if Oklahoma City wins, again, the NBA stepping in and putting tighter reins on flopping?
there's two things that stand out when you watch them right is to lugans dort and the alex caruso taking a dive when they get hit by a screen like i understand if you're the rule is if your feet are outside of your shoulders and you get hit with a screen that's considered a legal illegal screen but they only call it when a guy takes the dive so those guys take a dive
And you can't even challenge that because you'll lose that challenge.
