IMO, it's the same as taking advantage of a player that can't play defense, but may be a great shooter. It's all part of the game. I don't particularly enjoy watching it, but FT shooting is a basic skill. A coach has to figure out if everything else he does is worth the trade-off.
this is right
the clippers force-feeding their shitty FT shooter down our throats should not lead to the entire league changing the rules to benefit them
the clips should be punished for putting an extremely flawed guy out there, not the opponent who takes advantage of this flaw. the issue isn't popavich denying basketball fans aesthetics, it's doc rivers denying basketball fans aesthetics.

Plus I think part of it is these coaches are leaving these poor FT shooters out there to force the league's hand on this.
see my next post on the topic. we're on the same page
it's like teams doing illegal shite in-game so much that refs let it go. GS is becoming the king of this bullshite with all their grabbing and moving screens

Ed Palubinskas claims that Shaq didn't care enough about it to get better...of course, he was probably throwing Shaq under the bus.

Their job suddenly gets a lot easier when they get a way to workaround one of their key players major flaws.

Listen to Shaq talk on it. You can tell he didn't care. Most of it stemming from how illogical he is. Does not understand the concept of all else held constant at all.
"the key to making the strategy not work is getting stops on the other end. Then it doesn't work"
No Shaq, the strategy is intended to lengthen the game and limit the leading team's Points Per Possession. Just because a completely unrelated part of the game(the fouling teams offensive efficiency) didn't work doesn't have any bearing on whether that strategy worked.

i mean let's imagine a GS-Clippers series
GS has built a roster with flexibility around their rim protector's flaws. the Clippers...have not (in almost the most extreme way)
the system should reward the Warriors for their roster flexibility and ability to avoid relying on Bogut as the sole roster option

If they do it is BS just to keep the same high % of black players that they have now.

more like same % of tall players
there are 3 prime candidates for "hack a-x" in these playoffs and 2 are white (asik, bogut)

And there is still a risk involved with trying to apply this strategy.
Either you are going to have a lot of guys in foul trouble or you may have to play a guy who shouldn't be getting important playoff minutes. Playing that guy may kill your offense.
And it provides a team like the Clippers who only go about 7 deep some rest.

Also killing a teams flow and momentum. Teams are no longer in their rhythm if they are stopping every minute or so to wait on DAJ to brick his free throws.

I am not kidding. 80% of the top 5 free throw shooters in NBA history were white and they make up about 15% of the NBA, shite one of them was so good he clowned around at the ft line and made them granny style. With white European players getting better than ever this is one way the NBA can stay black.

Never thought I'd see the day hack-a-___ was made about race.

There are more than three. The Rockets alone have three.

A rule change eradicates the off-ball intentional foul... which is supposed to already be against the rules anyway.

Bogut shoots a much higher % as he gets more attempts so it wouldn't work on him and Asik is on a team that wont be winning any games anyways. DJ gets MUCH worse as he gets more attempts, he is the only one that was a legit candidate.
