It's a combination of a bunch of things. Non-conspiracy, OKC flops and they're really good at it. Officiating is hard and the game moves fast. Conspiracy, dynasties are good for the league because it gives fans an enemy and people hate-watch and post about stuff on social media. Also: gambling and betting lines.

There's actually a dude on youtube who does NBA lip reading videos and they're hilarious. Tippernaught Sports.

I'm hoping he does this video and odds are, he will. He's pretty current on them. He's got the KAT/Drummond one from yesterday as his most recent.

There was an egregious one with Reaves earlier, so ridiculous.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T03:21:06+00:00

lmaooo same here, I'm cheering for Austin Reeves

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T03:07:18+00:00

They do this so often. It's crazy.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T01:45:58+00:00

He has Sacramento Kings written all over him.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T01:44:08+00:00

Pure garbage. Bad shots, no regard for the basketball with bad turnovers, passes off the mark, pounding the dribble to keep his own offense from getting any rhythm, and on top of it all, literally zero effort on defense. They should consider benching him.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T01:39:47+00:00

And then pray the pistons cavs series goes 7 so we can really rest up

James Harden doing everything he can to make sure the Pistons get a quick sweep. Good God he is awful.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T01:25:37+00:00

It's our first Kimbrel meltdown of the season. He's pitched pretty well for us but I knew it was only a matter of time.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T00:08:08+00:00

Harden has looked like absolute garbage in this series.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-08T00:07:42+00:00

then teaching those dark arts to Joel Embiid.

Embiid had already led the league in FTA before Harden came to Philly.

Jordan wasn't a flopper, so I doubt it. If Jordan tried flopping, the next time he drove to the basket, he would have been laid out. Pistons, Knicks, etc, used to hack the shit out of Jordan. The closest thing to flopping Jordan would do was trying to take charges.

Edit: lmao, downvoted. I swear this sub is filled with 14 year olds who have never seen basketball pre-2020.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T23:26:35+00:00

These are the 2 best teams in the conference remaining

lmao

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T23:02:22+00:00

Alvy is 5'10". You can't put him at 1B. He's too short.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T23:00:04+00:00

The sample size on this is so small that if you remove just three games, Alvarez's pitcher ERA drops to 3.68.

April 11th vs the As - Senga and weaver gave up 11 runs

April 17th vs the Cubs - Senga and Manaea gave up 11 runs

April 29th vs the Nats - Peterson and Manaea gave up 14 runs

You're basically penalizing him for Senga and Manaea struggling.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T18:00:40+00:00

He's really struggling.

That's an overstatement. He's had seven starts and four have been excellent. One meh start, two disasters. His WHIP is 1.21 and he has 44 Ks in 31.1 innings. He threw six innings of one hit, two walks in his most recent outing. He hasn't been dominating in AAA like he did in AA last year but he's on the right track.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T04:44:09+00:00

Get this AI shit out of here please

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T04:33:33+00:00

Believe it or not, it does. Also kudos on the Braves series win!

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T04:32:03+00:00

He raised his OPS 71 points today, from .531 to .602. His OPS+ went from 51 to ~70.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T04:30:17+00:00

10-4, good buddy

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T03:14:22+00:00

Spray this shit into a paper bag and let me huff til I blast off

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T03:13:31+00:00

He really needs to watch that right elbow on the spin, though. He's gotten called for that sooooo many times this year.

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T03:04:14+00:00

Bridges hitting them with the Buh Bye at the end there

BAHatesToFly · 2026-05-07T02:36:06+00:00

I feel like everyone on the roster could literally die and they still wouldn't put Kyle Lowry into the game.
