    But Denny players push all the time. Literally all the time.

    It's a contact sport. What we have to understand is, all contact is not a foul. Marginal and incidental contact, via the rulebook, is not a foul. Does Blake Griffin make contact with the flopper? Yes slightly. Did that marginal contact create Harden's reaction? Hell no... The thing about it is, if you call foul on marginal contact, you have to call that marginal contact the entire game. Nobody likes ticky-tack foul calls. Do we want a basketball game or do we want to hear a whistle every single time a player is barely touched?

    If you call out of bounds on this play that is the proper call. And, it sends a message to Harden that he's not going to get away with flopping tonight. He's a flopper so he may attempt to do it again but if you address it with the ignore button even he will be forced to self-correct.

    Fine, but when a push changes the outcome of the play, like making a player go out of bounds, it should be called.

    It is. However as I explained that minute amount of marginal contact didn't cause Harden to go out of bounds. His embellishment of that contact did. The official who is policing his primary area PASSED on that contact. Bavetta reaches out of his primary, and with a TERRIBLE angle on the play, makes a horrible call. There's a reason Harden was fined for that play. My problem with it is the wrong person was punished.

    The problem is that referees' unions prevent fans from d(v)issing referees who post on their sites. Boo, ref!

    Here is improved content. Have many contests with Denny paying $64,000 to the winner of each contest.

    BrianFromWA- you wrote great stuff last year. You didn't have access, did you? Just your eyes and the numbers, right?

    Sure, anyone could write 2-3 articles a year with just an idea and the internet.

    I cannot write for this lowlife publication of commoners, for I with all humility seek to pluck but an acorn from the upscale wisdom tree of which this board is not.
