I feel the same. Unfortunately this “rule” change happened after he joined the Bucks. He is such an excellent free throw shooter; this rule has hurt the Bucks offense in more ways than one.
I wonder if Harden has been affected in a similar fashion this year.
He should have a big enough sample of them not calling those to know he can't rely on that.
I will say that he's being unfairly reffed on drives. People are able to get into him without being whistled.
