I will say this again. The game is reffed the way the players, Coaches, and league decide. Until at least two of the three agree to punish the stage acting it will persist. No other player calls out floppers, no opposing coach goes off on Lowry. This tells me they accept it, or maybe like it.
The star players Harden, LBJ, Smart, Lowry, all do it, so probably don't want it punished. Getting calls is seen as status. If the gamthreads (shudder) are indicative of fans the complaints about Tatum exaggerating contact, laying on the floor, whining, and not running back on D are outnumbered by about 20-1 by complaints that he DESERVES those calls.
So here we are, we are all so polarized, biased, that we pillory Lowry, yet (I think only me) rarely mention Smart, or White, or any Celtic. If it's bullshit when they do it, it's bullshit when we do it.
edit to be more brief
