If it were up to you, would you keep Knight or Bledsoe...

[Superbone]

Knight keeps throwing his head up and flailing when he gets a bit of contact while driving. He is getting the calls for that sometimes but other times he flails about so much he ends up losing the ball. I wish he would stop with the theatrics and just concentrate on getting to the basket and making the right play.

Harden gets away with it. Why not Brandon?

Add in theatrics once you start making your layups.

Why?

Well said. I think in this case Harden's strength is way underestimated. He can take contact and still finish layups seemingly with his fingertips through the slimmest of windows, whereas Knight gets the tiniest bump and next thing you know, he is legitimately out of bounds from the contact, and the flailing just makes refs think that he's making this shit up.

Wow, you guys really don't see how Harden flops on almost every play?

My point is you need to focus on making your layups in traffic before you can hope to get the support of the refs to buy you missed the layup because of the contact.

Exactly. Can't do everything at once. Pick something, hone it, hone it some more, then show everyone how great you are at it so you can get the benefit of the doubt. It was like that play recently where someone on the other team (I can't remember for the life of me) shot an air ball from 3 and it went out of bounds. The refs said that one of our guys hit it when he shot it, because, well of course he wouldn't miss that badly. We need that kind of expectation when Knight or Bled drive the lane. You need to be shocked when they miss one of those and not get hit. Neither are there now.

Bradley Beal I think shot the airball
