When the Lakers got bad he stopped watching. Frontrunner.
Plus the game has gotten better not worse, he wouldn't know. Gone is the tiresome isolation play.
When you are fouling the inbounds passer or sending in the 12th man to foul a guy 5 times in 9 seconds it has gone beyond "make your free throws." At least with Shaq they were hacking him largely when he got the ball.
there are very few sports that I can think of where repeatedly and intentionally violating the rules is not only a accepted strategy, but actually rewarded by the rulebook.
The only logical explanation is:
I'm about to die and this is my Jacob's Ladder
It really is a bad rule.....I can see an intentional foul to stop play because of an injury or some other issue, but to use it to put a bad free throw shooter at the line is just awful...Its bad for the fans and its bad for the game.....Fans don't want to pay $100 to see a game then get Andre Drummond shooting 36 free throws....They want to see him slamming home alley oops and off boards.
I don't mind the last two minute fouling, it is the intentional fouling in the 1st half. In the last two minutes it can be tedious but no worse than the the stupid kneel down in football in the last two minutes.

I agree. Fouling late in the game is a proven strategy. If you want to make the last two minutes less tedious, don't allow teams to call time out and don't let them go to replay
I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it on
Been saying it for years...The NBA needs to structure contracts like the NFL.
It may sound harsh and favor the owner but too damn bad.
The NBA would be a hell of lot more competitive & entertaining if these fat cats knew their job/contract was on the line.
The nba was waaaaaayyyyyyy ahead of the NFL in rookie contract structure, never paying the new guy more than the established stars. I was calling for the nfl to adopt the nba pay structure long before the nfl got their heads out of their arse and finally did just that several years back.

Well almost every game I see both teams have 6 left at the end of the game...What I think happens is that the others are considered TV timeouts and arent really charged to one of the teams.
