It's the NBA's fault players wine over fouls all the time.

With all these tikky-tack, touch fouls, the refs call all the time, you cant really blame the players for complaining about getting fouled when they get tapped or bumped a little.

I mean you cant touch a player these days without getting a foul called, Like when the offensive player creates the contacts, the defender retreats! but since the offensive player forced him self to get touch by the defender thats a defensive foul! And every-time a player falls on the ground the refs call a foul, just cause somebody hit the floor, because they got tripped up by mistake, how bout a no call!

If the NBA gets any softer I may not watch it anymore, the same goes for the NFL too.
So if you don't like players complaining about fouls all the time, then blame the NBA, they created it.

Re: Its the NBA fault players wine over fouls all the time.

This was sorta my argument in the instant replay thread. If you give them their flops, then they expect a call if they get touched at all. Of course if you give them the benefit of the doubt on a flop, then they'll be whining when they can't get to the line when they have minimal contact.

This is the reason they're overselling the fouls now as well. Even on the "fouls" that would and should be fouls, they're acting as if they are getting shot, to get their point across and make sure the ref takes notice. It's pathetic.

It's no longer a man's game.

The game has changed to give the Lebrons and the Kobes of the game all the calls they could get. Look at Dirk N. for instance....

Saw it a bunch of times with Rose to.

The game is really getting pathetic with the officiating. I def blame the NBA because of the superstar bias the league has. Basically if you're a superstar and you're making the league money, you will never or rarely ever foul out and you get bail out or make up calls whenever you complain enough. Its sickening.

With the invention of High Def tvs, I've noticed more BS flops, hacks and no-calls than I ever witnessed before. Especially in slow-mo. All crystal clear right before my eyes. Sometimes it seems as if the refs have an agenda and its becoming more and more clear as day as the years go by. Someone has to put a end to it.
