re: Angel was awesome tonight

I've argued for decades that a player shouldn't foul out of a basketball game.

They could make every foul beyond the 5th to give the opponent a free throw, or an extra free throw, or some additional penalty.

But to knock a star completely out of the game affects the game way too much.

And this isn't just about last night, but about all basketball games. A few cheap calls by an overeager official can completely change the game. And that's a shame.
