Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? mine is without a doubt the flopping. It's so frustrating to see someone get a call for just throwing their arms up. And what's even worse is it's almost accepted around now.i also hate how much control david stern has to have over EVERYTHING. I mean, seriously, he's banning tights? why would he even bother?
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? I hate when the refs fo trigger happy. Then it just turns into free throw shooting instead of basketball. I think they need to cut down on some of the fouls called, and give the interior defenders a break on some contact.
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? Hmmm....when a team totally collapses. Playing great for 45min, then totally giving up last 3min.

Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? 7 game series, who's 7th game sucks is one of those things that really bother me, an example is Cavs vs. Pistons this year, looked like it was going to be the most amazing game of the playoff's, it was a flop. Players who don't put their heart into the game, players like Curry and Kwame who just don't work on basketball like they should in the league. This is their life's work why not spend your time making it better? The old playoff seeding, honestly the Nuggets claiming 3rd seed because of these divisons is ridiculous. Dogmatist, I agree about you with the tights, why does it matter that they are wearing tights? It's their style let the players in your league do what they want when they dress... Another frustration is people yelling at the ref's because of a call, you can reason with him, but all that yelling is gonna accomplish is giving your team a technical.
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? One thing they have to change... the "superstar" calls. Wade, LeBron, I'll even admit Kobe get a sh*t load of em theres plenty more..They create the contact against the defensive player and it's a defensive foul?!Gotta change that.

Also,the banning tights thing was kind of stupid..I didn't see a problem with it,alot of guys wore them like Jerry Stackhouse,Dwyane Wade,Kobe Bryant,Vince Carter,Eddy Curry etc. Was that really such a big deal? The only thing I'm glad David Stern did was create a free agency pool for the NBA.
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? It really bothers me when teams dont play defesne. I mean, I cant stand the fact that the Suns dont care when they get scored on. They just feel that if they score within 5 seconds in to the shot clock, they are fine. Also, stupid rules like the tights is retarted. No purpose to ban them at all...
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? Yeah, next Stern is going to ban headbands. I dont see the point of banning apparel that the players like to wear during games to feel more comfortable. No point at all.Yeah, they are trying to act gangster by wearing tights

He's overrated.RUN, RUN, RUN!!! wtf?!
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? Wow there is a lot of things I'm hating about the league. Where should I start...- Defense is barely existent now a days in the league. Scoring might be more exciting to watch but watching more great defenders in the league now a days wouldn't be a bad thing.- The fact that the NBA is getting to be more and more about being a business- Players getting special treatment. C'mon I mean Dwyane wade was getting MJ treatement in the Finals. I hate how now a days you can barely touch Kobe and it gets called a foul. This is happening with too many players. - The way overly strict suspensions. I mean how many suspensions were there in the playoffs. From what I remember only about two of them seemed deserving.Those are my biggest problems but I definetly have others. I would add the seeding rule but it appears they are changing it.

By a player wearing those tights, he can make the arguement that it helps his game out, and that should be enough for players to be allowed to wear them.

Just because they score quickly doesen't mean they don't try on the other end.

Their problem is that they don't have rebounders. They really only have KT who was the only guy on the team that knows how to block out and Marion who's really undersized. It's not from lack of trying that other teams score on them. With their offense the other team gets more possesions and without another big man, like Amare, their rebounding has sucked. They did well forcing turnovers and making the other team have a low FG%. Now they finally got the team they wanted together with Amare, KT and Marion who can rebound and play D. You are exaggerating big time when you say 4 of them go away when the opponent takes a shot. They only "take-off" when one of them has the rebound in their hands.
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? The thing I hate the most is without a doubt the fouls. It's becomming more and more of a "sissy league." The NBA is not half as physical as it was in the 80's-90's (when the NBA was at its peak). They need to allow the players to be more physical again. Perfect example - Bulls vs. Knicks in the 90's. They were physical as hell, they jawed at each other (incresing the games intensity), they were rough in the paint; they fought like cats and dogs. Now, if you tap a big man on the shoulder in the paint it's a foul, and if you say one small thing to an opposing player to get in his head, it's a technical. That's BS to me, and I absolutely hate that about this league.
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? I hate the lack of following the rules. I hate how travels are not called often during a game.I hate how the "and 1" is way overused in the NBA. If you get foulled and make the shot, it is an "and 1." Even if the foul happend really on the floor. I am sick of that.I am sick of the carrying/palming rule that is not getting called when it should.I can't stand the feeling of how the NBA is starting to turn into more of a show than the game of basketball..Maybe this last one is just me, but I can't help feeling that.
Re: you're least favorite part of the league/game? When refs call too many damn fouls.Stops and ruins the flow and the game. Which no longer makes it fun it to watch for me.
