If you watched bball in the past, that shit in the early 90s? That was not basketball dude. That was disgrace to the game of basketball. Tackling guys when they're in the air to prevent a layup. You're saying you miss that? That's ridiculous... The years of the bad boys were some of the worst officiated years in any sport in the history of this country. You want to watch guys tackling each other then watch football or rugby or hockey.

The regular season officiating is a lot tighter, but these playoffs have been super physical. I'm not sure which games you're watching. The flagrant fouls are really about just not going for the neck and head area. James Jones pulled down Iguadala on a dunk attempt. Dangerous play but that was a good hard foul.

They say you can't handcheck in today's game but guys handcheck all the time in the playoffs and it's not called. Lebron gets handchecked on every play literally. Those are good clean plays.

These officials are pretty amazing. I dunno what game you're watching. Have you ever watched college basketball? Lol.
