  • Fighting

    Could you spend time discussing what role the lack of fouls called plays in NBA fights?

    Watching the Spurs play the Warriors last night it was obvious the dubs were going to hack on every play and dare refs to call fouls. This led to anger from Wemby and Fox. I was expecting either of them to throw a punch. No one wants to see this.

  • Defense

    Full court pressure is great. Out and out hachet fouls ala OKC is unethical. They are actively trying to hurt people. Look what they do to Wemby. That is bad for the beautiful game.
