re: Good ways to end "Hack-a-Shaq"...

Again no one is asking these guys to shoot 80%. Just make over 50%.

Fixing something that isn't broken because of a few guys is a terrible policy.

Making something better at the expense of literally nothing is not a terrible policy. What a silly statement. You're better than that.

And having Andre Igoudala frantically running away from people like he's in a schoolyard game of tag with 2:08 left in a close playoff basketball game is most certainly broken. Surely you see how silly that looks. Why should a team essentially be rewarded for bashing in to players while making no attempt to play actual defense? I don’t see why forcing teams to actually attempt to play defense during a basketball game is getting so much argument. Why do so many people demand players shoot free throws better but no one demands teams just play better defense? Make rules to make basketball be played the way it was meant to be played. Leave the "if it ain't terribly broke, don't fix it" crap to old people that lack critical thinking skills.
