FIBA rules allow for a better product and more of an every possession matters atmosphere with a ton less foul bating. Hoping the NBA continues it's trend of less foul calling and flopping because these games were extremely fun to watch.

I just don’t like the bs foul drawing being a gatekeeper for offensive efficiency. Refs just need to be able to say, “FOH with that bs” half the guys doing it don’t even like it, but they all say hardens efficiency and success and know that’s what wins games
