\n

The NBA\u2019s primetime product has become increasingly difficult to watch, and Commissioner Adam Silver<\/a> is finally waking up to the issue.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show”<\/a> on Wednesday, Silver confirmed the league is moving toward automation in its officiating, particularly for objective replay calls that routinely slow games to a crawl during the playoffs.<\/p>\n

Or as we all know it: flopping.<\/p>\n

“I think in terms of replay, we\u2019re going to get to the point fairly quickly where, for example, on out-of-bounds plays \u2026 those kinds of calls will become automatic,” Silver told McAfee.<\/p>\n

HOW FREQUENTLY HAS SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER ACTUALLY FLOPPED TO GET FOUL CALLS IN THE NBA PLAYOFFS?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re going to move to a system like that where that whole category of calls will be automated,” Silver explained.<\/p>\n

“Those calls will be handled by an AI automated system with cameras lined around the court. It\u2019ll be instantaneous and automatic.”<\/p>\n

Silver hopes automation will eliminate replay delays.<\/p>\n

Additionally, fans have been increasingly frustrated with foul baiting, and flopping continues to show up on the hardwood during the Western Conference playoffs<\/a>, specifically.<\/p>\n

At the center of much of that criticism is Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a> star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.<\/p>\n

SGA\u2019s playoff run has highlighted the NBA\u2019s growing embellishment problem, where most drives seem to feature exaggerated head snaps or flailing arms.<\/p>\n

Silver also acknowledged the frustration around foul baiting.<\/p>\n

“I would only say there\u2019s a difference between selling a call, exaggeration, and a true flop,” Silver said.<\/p>\n

“If they\u2019re not fooling the referees, it\u2019s more like players being taught to sell calls these days.”<\/p>\n

“Because there\u2019s often contact on every play,” Silver noted.<\/p>\n

“That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean there\u2019s a foul.”<\/p>\n

“I think technology is really going to be helpful here,” he added.<\/p>\n

For years, the NBA has tilted officiating rules toward offensive players.<\/p>\n

Carrying violations are barely enforced, moving screens happen in plain sight and defenders often get punished for breathing in the same zip code as the ballhandler.<\/p>\n

Silver\u2019s comments made it pretty obvious the NBA is looking for technology to clean up some of the chaos that has taken over its playoff product.<\/p>\n
