@vickant2 agreed.....they allow it to an extent, for certain players and the refs are super inconsistent calling these types of fouls (forearm rule), particularly in the low post.
@vickant2 they try new stuff every year and it lasts about 6 games into the preseason, then they go back to their same old crap..........the NBA's been losing money for the past several years so they're trying whatever they can to make it more entertaining, but all they're doing is messing it up and it's prolly going to lead to a lock-out in the near future.
@SFO14 im not understanding the rules for the NBA anymore, they are gonna give technicals to players for complaining about a call, which would take out the emotion in the game, but at the same time they are going to let players get away with more. it doesn't make much sense
@vickant2 you are very correct........refs were told to pretty much ignore the old rule anyway, and you have to believe that they are gonna be pretty relaxed with this new rule, which lets players get away with even more. It's awful, might as well be watching european handball
@vickant2 there's nothing about a "gather step" in the rule book. It clearly states you're allowed "...two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball." If that's not clear, I dunno what is (sarcasm of course)

@SFO14 the only thing they need to change is to bring back handchecking

@SFO14 well you have to blame the refs then because that is what they let every player get away with
