Does the NBA have to address its flopping problem? Rachel breaks down the controversial Spurs vs Thunder NBA Cup semifinal, including the viral Alex Caruso–Wemby clip, the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander “kick-out” foul on Dylan Harper, and whether OKC are brilliant at manipulating the rules… or just flopping their way to the line.

Rachel also reacts to Victor Wembanyama’s “ethical basketball” comments, clears up what he really meant, and compares the Spurs’ old-school, team-first style to the Thunder’s whistle-heavy reputation. Plus, Rachel brings in what Dwyane Wade and Jaylen Brown have said about flopping, and how Adam Silver is publicly acknowledging that the league may have overcorrected in favor of offense and needs more physical defense back in the game.

To close things out, Rachel previews the NBA Cup Final: San Antonio Spurs vs New York Knicks in Las Vegas!
