TDepressionEarl posted:Did people think there were way more egregious flops this year than last year? To me it didn't seem like it happened often enough to make new points of emphasis just yet. I want to wait another season before changing too many rules, but if we are amending the laws, international-style goaltending allowing for clearing the ball above the cylinder off the rim seems more pressing than simulation. how about this: if you flop then Adam Silver comes to the court with two red headbands and a revolver with 1 bullet in it

TDepressionEarl posted:Rugby Union has a rule where only a player with the captain's armband can have a conversation with refs and I like that system as well. Wait that's actually a great idea for the NBA. It's not like stars don't do most of the jawing anyways, just have a few players as designated advocates. Of course, LeBron/Luka/Draymond/CP3 would all still doing their thing under this system.

kingcobweb posted:I think it would be much more looking at the individual plays (EYE TEST!!!) than some kind of stats. There have been academic studies of ref bias; the ones off the top of my head from what I remember from Scorecasting showed that refs favor home teams, superstars, and players of their own race. Of the three, I’d want to pour over the methodology of that last one and see if it’s replicable, but you get the idea. Anyway, these require a sample size of looking at all refs; when it comes to one ref with one team any statistician will probably just say “sample size is too small to tell for sure.” Whether or not refs, as a whole, favor the Lakers or disfavor the Kings is much easier to prove statistically. If I recall correctly, and this has been about twelve years since I read the thing, so I might not, and might not be able to find the article, but the race bias one was replicable, basically universal, and also fairly easy to solve. If might have caused some late whistles, but I remember an article about it, the solution seemed to be to not immediately blow the whistle, but to take one second to process what was seen. Made the latter turn to statistical noise when it was a point of emphasis. If it's back to a state of more than just noise, then they need to reemphasize that second. It made me consider poor Yao Ming, who would have had more ref bias against before you factor in the usual bias guys his size have going against them.

The Towns feels more authentic to the Boston area while the Boondock Saints feels like what some coked-out idiot director wants to pretend Boston is. Take that with a grain of salt maybe someone who lives in metro Boston has a better take. The extended ECF is all a ploy to ruin Jokic’s conditioning
