What if the NBA eased up on foul calls?

Durant and Harden would be shaky as fukk out here

Because when he leaves his feet he isnt in control if he was in control he wouldnt be manipulated into the foul. Ofcourse you could blow by and drive, hopstep and pull up or just pull up when the defenders off balance but if youre guaranteed two "GIMME's" (for most decent ft shooters) and a possibility of the 3 point play or even just getting the defender the foul then why not? In every sport with defense/offense somebody is gonna be at a disadvantage (this is why coach makes yo ass run them suicides when you keep leaving your feet on pump fakes) it may bother you that they are put in the position where they can get baited like that but it all boils down to Winning you do what you got to do. It may be petty but Wade has turned that shyt to an art and nikkas fall for it time after time after time. Blame them for falling for it .

And that's the problem. They're exploiting the system instead of playing basketball.

The game should be about getting the best possible shot off not looking for ways to get to the free throw line.

Free throws should be reserved for real penalties like intentional fouls and flagrant fouls. Justifiable and/or unavoidable contact should just be a natural part of the game. And I bet you if it were you'd see more exciting, higher quality basketball being played.

Well i agree it may be more exciting and I dont like the way the game is called either but what you call exploiting I call working smart not hard.

How else are refs supposed to rig the games?

Even though I dont consider this as bad as the flopping I get what he saying though.

Its one thing if dudes are jumping forward but they're not. So thats like saying if you cross over somebody to the point where they're off balance, you should be able to lean into them and get a foul too. Kinda bogus

Just think about how wack that is for a moment. The fact that you have offensive players PURPOSELY looking to draw contact and PURPOSELY taking bad shots because they know they'll be rewarded for it.

Who in their right mind thought that would be good for the game?

It should be the other way around. You should be trying to AVOID contact and AVOID taking bad shots.

Stop calling these fouls and watch how much better the game would be.

Less FTs are given in today's game though than it used to be. It's been like that since 2009.

Durant shaky as f*ck now, imagine walking to the court and seeing these nikkaz lookin' at you:

Durant would have been a soccer goalie

Quicker games and a better sport

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

They've already started this to some degree with that "verticality" rule in the paint, and I think the games are noticeably more entertaining because of it.

I've long since said that easing up on the foul rules is the best way to eradicate this flopping epidemic.

 

[CantStop]

Durant would be Ryan Kelly status.
