    You're relatively new here. "Official" anything is a long-running joke here. I didn't even think about this being the "Official Board!"

    I just don't agree with this. Yes, there's a LOT of contact on his drives. But he's going into the drive completely telegraphing what he's going to do and defenders are just jumping straight up and letting him crash into them. There are probably a couple calls a game that could be called in Dame's direction, but mostly he's not getting calls because he's not getting fouled.
    Short response: hit, yes; fouled, no.

    Wrong Harden used to be a decent defender in OKC he has just become a lazy defender.

    For that to work though you do have to switch at times or else the PG will just throw lobs but I agree that it would be helpful. LA is certainly quick enough to be able to recover and Lopez is smart enough to play center field and deny any easy entry passes.

    Lillard needs to learn to fall backwards from contact he tends to fall forward and thus does not typically get the call.
