The NBA is in a good place - I may be looking forward more to the OKC v GS game than the SB.

Same here- that's why I'm more in a "be careful what you wish for" mode there. While I like seeing post play, it does slow down the game and that awful era, when it wasn't Kobe and AI running endless iso's and shooting 12-33 every game, it was a lot of trying to post up bigger guards like Kobe and Hardaway on smaller guards (which would be negated by the legality of zone defense now)
My main beef is just that there is a "dead" spot on the front court where it just doesn't make sense to shoot from.. and part of me just hates seeing guys like Anthony Davis, Kevin Love, Aldridge and Ibaka having to shoot 3's when they were born to play in the paint.

Only three games out of the 4th worst record ...bring dat draft pick to Philly.
Draft Simmons, get in bed healthy, be first team to start 4 players 6'10 or taller.

Fucking Silver wants to change the rules to get "Hack-a-Shaq" out of the game again.
Fine, then. Rule: players who are below 70% FT on the season aren't allowed to be on the court in the last two minutes.

And you would be 100% wrong
Or they could just call it as an intentional foul. Which it is. 2 shots and the ball.

So who else thinks the warriors are going to break the regular season wins record?
So now when Jordan and Howard go down to block for post position, you bang them alittle harder and get a foul called. You go through them when he tries to go out and set a pick. So youve gone from just an intentional foul to an "unintentional foul in the run of play". Or do you now want to make off-ball fouls all intentional too?

What other rules are they going to implement to hide inefficiencies of players?

sounds like my kinda party.
will there be punch and pie
In high school, if you intentionally foul away from the ball... And I'm talking blatantly like hack a Shaq, it is a technical foul, two shots and the ball. I imagine doing that one time in the NBA, down by one, that will make people think long and hard about doing that
I get it in high school rules. Totally understand due to the talent gap that high school sports can have between teams.
But this is the fucking NBA. As @MSUFanatic said, this is not about helping the game. This is about hiding a player's inefficiencies.

YEET
And it's like 5 players. You're going to change a rule cause 5 players can't hit their free throws? That's dumb. The argument is it hurts the game and isn't fun to watch but I personally find it intriguing whenever it happens in a game I'm watching. I obviously can't speak for the entire nba fan base.

Tell you what: for those on Team MAKE UR FREE THROWS, then kindly explain to me (in Rule 12-B, Section X) why the rule changes in the last 2 minutes?
What is so special about the last 2 minutes of the game that the rules need to change?

Considering the referees are nuanced enough to determine Flagrant versus Common fouls, I'm good with giving them the ability to judge for themselves.

obligatory because rules is rules
I'm assuming this is sarcasm.
No they arent. They are asked to judge potential intent and then use a review system to determine the final ruling.

My take is that off-the-ball intentional fouling is tantamount to playing the keep-away offense before the shot clock was implemented. I think it's a little bit of a travesty in both cases.
Intentionally fouling the player WITH the ball is a legitimate strategy at any point in the game. If a team in the bonus decides to bear-hug Drummond as soon as he catches an entry pass, that would be fine. Teams could definitely employ some legitimate Hack-a-Shaq strategy in moments like this, although in practice, they would probably not arise too often.

I mean we're talking about the basketball HOF here. He probably is.

I have the same thought as Gator. It will just lead to even more inexcusable flopping trying to draw intentional foul calls.
Honestly, I don't think the game needs to be fixed, at least in that sense. If you can't hit your free throws then get off the floor. I don't see why the opponent should be made to cater to the weaknesses in the opponent's game.

Still no answer.
Why do the rules change for the last 2 minutes?

To make the game more entertaining we need to stop this fouling nonsense. But that makes a shitty players weakness go away. So thur must be compensation. To go along eith new tours ginkgo two and the ball, The lowest ft % shooter in each team must wear the San Diego chicken costume for the game. This fowling out.
Imagine how entertaining it is now. And fair.

Pretty simple. So teams don't use it as a tactic to try to get back into a game when trailing.

Hack a shaq is just as much of a strategy as blitzing 6
But why does the time on the clock dictate whether a strategy is legal or not?
Couldn't you make the same argument as it relates to defense? If you can't defend without resorting to bear hugging a player, then get off the court.

You did that poorly (or well) they put you on the news?
