this is why i respect players like duncan, bogut, camby.. etc. they dont go in the paint and 'foul' dwight, griffin..
they play them straight up 1v1 and if he dunks on you, so be it..
this is why i hate some of the scrub players, they think because they have 6 fouls, they have to use them..
and it sucks that they get T-ed up for a slight reaction after a poor foul..
but then again, if he could make free throws
The referees need to be calling more flagrant and unsportsmanlike fouls in my mind.
Hack-a-Shaq type strategies shouldn't be tolerated if there is no play on the ball, and often there is no play on the ball.
By Shaq missing free throws, It shows that he IS human. If he had always hit his free throws, he would of always been impossible to stop. Free throws Is what keeps the big man down ! Basically same with Dwight Howard ... But that 10 second rule Is really not needed. Let the guy shoot, takes 11 or 12 seconds ? Man, who cares. The game won't end an hour early because he shot his free throws quickly. Times like that, the Refs need to realize the game Is not about them, but about the two teams on the court. Dwight gets no love, when he really should. Refs care more about the smaller guys. We need big man Refs to call the fouls In the paint !
i love how people try to say the nba is all soft and crap and then go complain about howard getting fouled and this and that... can someone make up there mind...
that said im sure howard gets his share of tough hits but so do a lot of players and they dont all whine about it as much as him... remember shaq on the lakers? howard has it easy compared to him...
I don't have a problem with psychical play, but if he gets fouled..... call it! If they aren't calling the stuff he's complaining about yet are calling stupid flops etc then it gets annoying.
LeBron also gets nailed just about every time he's on the break. The opponent will either get out of the way or wrap him up.
Today he got shoulder-checked by Jermaine O'Neal, with no play on the ball. It was a joke. Jermaine is a *****. He knew LeBron was going to get the and1 or put him on the poster so instead of trying to contest or block the shot he just did an ice hockey check on him.
O'neal is a punk. That was a full on shoulder check and Lebron is big enough to not have it throw him off. This are the sort of fouls which get players injured badly and I bet David would REALLY be thinking hard about doing something about it if the TV ratings plunged after a few major stars are taken out of the playoffs with these sort of fouls.
No Blood, No Foul I say
Bet you won't say that if Erick Dampier clotheslines Derrick Rose in the ECF.
