    What happened to the NBA we grew up and loved?

    That it can now be that what JR Smith just did is a flagrant foul? My god, I remember seeing plays like this not only not being a flagrant, but not even called as a common foul. Might as well put dresses on these littles bitches, they're treating them like little girls.

    It's the inconsistency that kills me. Everyone sees the play differently... and calls are coin flips. It shouldn't bet that way.

    To me... it was just a personal foul. It was ROUGH. But just a personal foul.

    Not watching the game at the moment but no arguring with the fact that the game's been pussified.

    What irks me the most is that many times they'll show hard fouls/ chippy plays on TV previews for the upcoming game to drum up ratings... only to later penalize teams/ players for same said hard fouls/ chippy plays.

    Lets go to the instant review to see if it was a flagrant 1 or flagrant 2. GTFO here. I'm not talking about dirtyness. But hard fouls.. in the playoffs.. they should just let 'em play. 80's style NBA.

    Yeah.
    But even mid 90s it was a totally different game. Used to watch a lot, now rarely.

    Jordan's Bulls/ Isiah's Pistons/ Reggie's Pacers teams would never finish a game in the 2015 NBA. Its all ticky tack fouls! Everyone is a p*ssy and whines after every call!

    David Stern wanted to take the 'thug' image out of the game. Race was as factor as well. He decided that any change in physical play was worth the image he preferred. That attitude still prevails.

    I recently watched a 30 for 30 about the Detroit Pistons of Isaiah, Lambeer, etc. Amazing how different and pussified the game is now.

    In the 80's, codgers were probably complaining about how pussified the game was compared to the 50's.

    2 words can be used to describe when and how the NBA became a homo league:
    Lebron James

    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.

    You have no clue what your'e talking about or you probably don't play basketball. I grew up in Detroit and live here. I grew up on the bad boys. Basketball was still great then, but when you see Lambeer and Mahorn doing what they do. They are two of the dirtiest players in any sport. They wanted to ruin your career, put you in the hospital. You consider that basketball?

    You're clueless.

    The Bad Boys Pistons are rolling over their Graves

    The Chief and McHale Celtics are rolling over

    The Anthony Mason Charles Oakley Knicks are rolling over

    The Ron Harper Pippen Jordan Rodman Bulls are rolling over


    The NBA is a ballerinas league now which is why the team with the most floppers like Curry and Green wins now. Before them it was the Heat, and Spurs who were notorious floppers and won championships because of flopping. This is why the NFL has gotten so popular since the NBA has become more pussified. I'd rather watch preseason NFL games than the NBA and I'm not alone

    RIP NBA
