Great....that means he'll go 8 of 9 from 3 and 15 of 17 from the fouls line against the Hoosiers....can't wait....🤬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the most frustrating calls a ref can get wrong is when they call a travel/carry/palming/etc. that is not there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBA seems to have been gradually getting better for a while now. A huge step this year for the NBA was eliminating all of the baiting of fouls they used to let offensive players get away with. It's not completely out of the game, but they have really reduced letting shooters leap into defenders and calling the foul, letting drivers yank their head back to bait fouls and letting drivers basically hook the defensive players arm to bait fouls. They also eliminated the sweep and lift where the guy with the ball would sweep through the defenders arm and then flail to draw a shooting foul. They still call the foul but it's not shooting anymore, which has reduced offensive players even doing it. Along with being out of shape, I actually think these rule changes are a huge reason why James Harden has fallen off so much. But, these changes have really improved the NBA this season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more along the line of players are traveling/palming so much that the refs would have to constantly be calling it if they actually tried to enforce it. Then fans would get pissed because the game would become a whistle/turnover fest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't noticed an abundance of traveling or palming. Edited May 5, 2022 by btownqb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how Harden adjusts - he's getting old and as you said, he's a fat boy. But he also become the elite, MVP player he was because he found every way to maximize for what the game allowed and I think he has the basketball IQ to find some way to adapt. He's not going to get back to where he was, but I still think he can be a number 2 to Embiids number 1, if they're ever both healthy at the same time in the playoffs.

My perception is a lot of basketball fans think things are travels/carries/palming when they aren't, There's obviously times those are missed, but I hear a lot of complaints about it when it isn't there, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly every guard/wing carries the ball all the time. Some of the best players who have that great crossover carry the ball every single time the do. I don't care though. As long as it's not egregious it shouldn't be called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of turning this into an NBA discussion, the other issue the Sixers and Harden are having is that they haven't surrounded Harden with shooters, which is something he needs for spacing, especially while being a step slower. Danny Green is cooked, and Niang and Thybulle aren't shooters. They really need Seth Curry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
