Rumor: The NBA having teams in Charlotte, Memphis, OKC, San Antonio, Portland and Sacramento, but not in Seattle is really stupid.

Thread
Beginning with Summer Leagues and effective for the 2021-22 season, game officials will enforce the playing rules in a manner that reduces the incentive for offensive players to use non-basketball moves to draw fouls.Thread ⤵️ (1/7)— NBA Official (@NBAOfficial) August 8, 2021

rip a lot of guys! But I love this, it’s been something noxious about the game that nobody likes for awhile and has been getting worse year over year
― Clay, Sunday, 8 August 2021 20:18 (two years ago) link
Among the many ugly non-basketball moves, I count the "rip through" move, where the offensive player who has been holding the ball high and away suddenly swings the ball down low and across the arms of the defensive player facing him, not preparatory to doing anything with the ball, but simply to draw a foul. Harden especially favors this one.

about time is how i break it down to an extent. mostly curious to see who and how this effects not only the 22 season but also player's legacies.

They changed the rip through years ago it’s just a common foul not a shooting foul now. You don’t see them nearly as often.

but it can’t be a no-call, there’s too much contact that affects the shot. offensive foul seems right
― k3vin k., Sunday, 8 August 2021 22:44 (two years ago) link
These guys are crafty they’ll all be fine and have so many different ways to score I don’t see it changing much. Maybe a couple less FTs per game.
yea when I think about the guys this'll primarily affect it's pretty much all people who are great shooters anyway. what this will do is make it a lot easier to root for guys like Harden
― frogbs, Sunday, 8 August 2021 23:03 (two years ago) link
i agree that the league will change and the players are superhuman so it'll be fine but i think there are a few people who are going to become considerably different quantities depending on how this is called in-game and i'm looking at harden xp lol

I feel like if the offensive player thinks they can get a shot up by bouncing off a guy who's not set they should be allowed to. No foul on the defender though. The less free throws we have to sit through the better.
I also think players should give each other boosts to achieve megadunks worth 4 points.

NCAAB should really create an Alumni league, 99% of their athletes never make the league. International can pay well, but NCAAB needs to beat the G-league and have the ability to play domestically. Already have TV relationships, even just powerhouse schools would be enough.— A.K (@Kungu_NBA) September 9, 2021
― lag∞n, Thursday, 9 September 2021 17:02 (two years ago) link
if that league just collected all the big white centers who couldn't play past college it would easily beat the g-league
― call all destroyer, Thursday, 9 September 2021 17:32 (two years ago) link
Once G-League is easily brushed aside, they'd only need to compete for attention and ad dollars with NCAA hoops, WNBA, and Big3.

The NBA brass are prob thinking the long regular season is just too boring and they need more games that "count", but that shows a huge lack of faith in the game of hoops and the skill and competitiveness of their players. Regular season games are often exciting as hell, just because NBA players are often exciting as hell. Fuck this nonsense. Just keep working on promoting rules that punish the teams that deliberately tank.

I think that was just reflexive habit on the ref's part, left over from years of calling fouls on that crap. Once the whistle was blown, he couldn't un-blow it without looking even more like an idiot.
