with all that said i fucking hate flopping and want it gone but it will never go away until the league forces it to go away. until then coaches will continue to teach players how to sell calls as they have since the beginning of time.

That's generally how I feel as well. As long as it's considered a legitimate tactic and gamesmanship, players are going to try to make it work for them. It's kind of grubby, though. The league has admittedly tried to address it, but much like the "zero tolerance technicals" approach they tried about ten years ago, the efforts have been halfhearted and inconsistent, and ultimately ineffective.
The New York Knicks announced Tuesday star forward Kristaps Porzingis tore the ACL in his left knee.
Porzingis injured himself after dunking over Giannis Antetokounmpo during Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He landed awkwardly and was carried to the locker room by teammates.
Shams Charania of The Vertical reported Porzingis will undergo season-ending surgery.

Noah was banished from the Knicks after an altercation with coach Jeff Hornacek during a practice last month. The disagreement stemmed from Noah’s lack of playing time, and it turned physical the day after he logged only five minutes against the Warriors.
While no punches were thrown, a source told the Daily News' Frank Isola that Hornacek was the first to shove Noah before they had to be separated.

Noah & Hornacek...two lasting gifts from Phil Jackson. BOTH need to go.
Knicks are in for a long rebuild, like Philadelphia's. So f-n frustrating Andrew. The franchise has been pathetic since 2001, and we're looking at another 4-5 years of sucking, maybe more. I have very little faith in Steve Mills.
Troy Williams to sign a 10-day contract;

This kid was right in our lap, but our genius owner waits until AFTER the draft to dump Phil. Of course Phil picks the french fry because he fits the f-n triangle. The incompetence of this organization knows no bounds.

Jackal wrote:I can't imagine how good that atmosphere could be if this team was halfway decent. But it's the Knicks and tourists will always attend despite them being terrible. Just recently a buddy of mine shared some pics of attending a game despite him being more in to baseball. Dolan's fine with the team not being good.
If there's one team I'd wish a owner/management change for, it's the Knicks followed by replacing the front office of the Bulls. These two teams should be prime attractions in the league. The Lakers started their rebuild after the Knicks and the Knicks still have only KP and overpaid Hardaway to show for it. No real identity, no stability on the coaching staff, no real direction from the front office...

TNT analyst Kenny Smith will interview for the New York Knicks' head-coaching job on Friday, a source told ESPN's Stephen A. Smith.

Chris Webber is so ready to take the next step.
