Guys can't shoot freethrows...so the answer is to make it so you can force them to shoot free throws:jbhmm:

This is a prime example of why the nba is so soft right now:jbhmm:

Actually this whole thing is a microcosm example of the state of america in general :jbhmm:

Is he going to fix traveling :jbhmm:

15 of the top 20 players in basketball couldn't play in my cousins youth basketball league because they can't go 3 seconds without traveling :jbhmm:

I've never seen lebron or steph not blatantly travel while dribbling a ball longer than 5 seconds

Thats not the same as the hack-a-strategy being discussed in this article and you know this
It is the same. We're talking about INTENTIONAL fouls. The only difference is that those guys get fouled away from the ball. If you wanna take that aspect of it out, fine, but instead of a hug on Drummond without the ball, the second Drummond catches the ball anywhere, he's gonna turn into a defenseless receiver in football and get gooned on quick. If the penalty for fouling a crap foul shooter is 2 and the ball, guys are gonna start using their 2 flagrantly judiciously and make them count

When games turn into hacking farces, I turn the game off. Every single time. I can't fathom how that's good for the NBA, especially when the Clippers and Pistons will both be playoff teams. There's nothing basketball about chasing guys 30 feet from the ball to hug them for an advantage

How about automatic 2 points for every "hacka" foul. That would solve it I think.
