That would make the game pretty ugly in a hurry, eliminating and-1s.

As for the hack rules, I'm sure whatever they do the coaches will find a way to get guys like Drummond, Jordan, and Howard to the line. Some of the stuff going on now is getting out of hand so I don't mind tightening it up a bit.

If they go to a 2 shot and the ball for an intentional foul it will stop.

How would the game get ugly?

If you don't want to get rid of and 1s they need to issue technical fouls on any player who yells "and 1" as a shot is in the process.

As far as the Clippers answering questions, the difference is that the Griffin thing might be a legal matter, as far as the Clippers not answering questions goes, you're still allowed to ask them as a journalist. KD has same opportunity to say 'no comment' when asked about his FA status.
I watched him after the game take question after question and not be agitated at all. Not once did a free agency question come up just about the game. Do you really think a writer asking that question is going to beat everyone to the scoop?

With the Clippers there are no charges filed or pending for the Griffin incident. IMO they don't wan't the NBA know the same story they do. Still a reporter could ask every day "what set Griffin off"? If I was a reporter could I ask doc why he traded for his son every day or will I quietly be put in the back of the room?

What exactly is the difference between no comment and I'm not going there right now its not the time or place?

SAS also threatened Durant though I haven't seen one negative thing about him posted by the person who issued a childish warning.

Hmmm you don't think it was Ballmer and the Clippers who got Jordan's agent fired? My hunch is at owners meeting Ballmer doesn't say too much because he's probably in the bottom five of disliked owners. If I asked that question every day my credentials would be YANKED.

So you can actually MUG a player and get away with two shots if he misses? The game would go on another half hour at bare minimum. A small point guard like Paul probably couldn't finish the season strong if at all he would get so beat up. Personally not being a fan of a particular team I love it when Paul shows off his athleticism driving to the basket. The same goes for Westbrook these are great players whose skills I want to see enhanced not diminished.

The situation you described worked well in street basketball in the 60's and 70's. The game has certainly changed since then and you also need to keep up with the times. Injuries would also go way up as the dirtier players would almost never foul out. I guess it would be ok to hit a player in the man zone and if he makes the basket it becomes the other teams ball.

Ok I will admit I missed the mark on what you wrote. I don't find it hard to admit I'm wrong.

Unsportsmanlike conduct. They give Ts in nba if you just LOOK at a ref the wrong way, this wouldn't be hard to implement.

I actually wouldn't mind this (and Dion Waiters has to be the biggest offender!) It isn't really different than hollering out "I got fouled!", basically calling out the ref if there is no call.

This above post is from early December and is the only play I've mentioned in this thread all season... I'll tout a second pick tonight.

No way now, they will be lucky if they can finish in the playoffs. Same with the Bulls Butler out 3-4 weeks

Seems like a pipe dream, I agree.
