shut the hell up. One of the biggest issues the nba has is not actually following the fricking rules of the game.
"oh well, it didn't really affect the play so why call it"
BECAUSE WE HAVE RULES DAMMIT!

They never call backcourt when a player clearly doesn't establish both feet in the front court running down the court and someone passes the ball back to them.
They never call lane violations even though they happen every fricking free throw.
They pick and choose when they call travels, usually when a non star player catches the ball on the perimeter and takes off towards the goal.
a carry hasn't been called in 20 years, even though it happens every time Durant dribbles the ball.
If someone falls on the ground with the ball, it's a travel. Unless they somehow managed to fall down with one of their feet firmly still on the ground, it's a travel. This is never called. Never, despite it being a basic rule of basketball and somethign that is called at ever level of basketball except the nba, much like lane violations.


people like you say, what's the big deal? it doesn't really affect the play so why waste time calling these violations that no one wants to see slow down the game?
I say, how fricking hard is it for players to follow the fricking rules they have been following their entire life. Call the damn violations and maybe they'd quit happening.
