I talked about this in a comment on a different post earlier in the week, but wow the NBA is getting soft. IMO the flagrant Collison just got in the OKC/Griz game should definitely not have been a flagrant. The Playoffs are physical. You can’t just give up easy baskets like that. A play like that used to be considered a good basketball play and was expected in big games. Now they call pretty much every hard foul a flagrant and the offensive team has the potential for a four point possession, ridiculous. I can already see it happening in crunch time of a big playoff game this season where the refs call some weak flagrant that ends up deciding the game. I still love the NBA, I love watching the playoffs, but wow it is frustrating seeing how soft the game is getting.

The whole thing where if you hit their head and it automatically being a fragrant is insane. Most of the time its completely unintentional.

Absolutely a terrible rule. You know a flagrant when you see it, a little brush on the head shouldnt be one. I don’t know if its due the whole overreaction to concussions but some of these are so weak and there isn’t much contact at all.
.
Another stupid rule is the double technical call (we all know JVG hates this one too). All it takes to get thrown out of a game now is a little trash talking for a double T and then some minor incidental contact to someone’s head. NBA is a star driven league and nobody wants to see that happen to these guys.
