Sean :
Thank you for actually blaming the defenders for once the way Sacramento was hacking the lakers in that game was insane

Simple. Offense is at the highest skill it’s ever been. It’s hard to guard these guys

This is bad for the NBA. Offense is fun to watch but not when it looks too easy. There needs to be some major rule changes here soon. It's becoming unwatchable

Too many fouls called. Let them play. Bring back hand checking. Refs are calling everything. Slows the game down.

Scorers are way more advanced than they’ve ever been, harder to guard without fouling.

No one plays good defense anymore. But I also blame how offensive players get away with so so much. They carry or travel almost all the time. Push off often. It’s bad to watch honestly.

So when they play soft y’all complain, but when they play tougher defense yall complain. Lack of discipline? Were the goons hacking Jordan undisciplined or were they just “tough” defenders?

defenders didn't just change how they are playing, that many more calls is in the refs being told to clean it up

There is almost no difference in fouls per game per night from last year to this year through the first 3-4 games. Last year it was 23.3 and this year it is 23.2 — defense is always shaky at the start of the year.
