Refs new "freedom of movement" rule bans defenders from grabbing off ball cutters like Curry and Klay!!!

[LBJKB24MJ23]

to be fair, Curry and Klay won't be able to do that on defense either.

Let's be real, superstars are going to get away with it anyways. They better be calling moving screen as well, if not, thats just straight up dumb.

This is why post play is dying, defenders are allow you grab and hold you in the post while defender can't even touch you in the perimeter. Let the big boys eat too.

Idk if its been mentioned in here, but it seems like refs have been calling moving screens A LOT more this pre season....which is terrible news for the Warriors and one of the reasons Kerr got ejected last game cuz he was complaining about it since they called like 8 moving screens fouls lol

I posted that a few posts back, but nobody picked it up. It gives me a little bit of hope for the league.

After Kerr's ejection over Curry's 3rd offensive foul yesterday, I am wondering if freedom of movement isn't going to be all one sided.

Waa Waa Why can't my team have great offball players like Steph and Klay is all im hearing from this whining. Assaulting off ball players isn't defense. It's not skillful. Your defenders need to learn to defend off ball players by not grabbing them. In fact, how about they improve their cardio to be able to keep up with them?

The issue arises from the fact that the constant moving screens from players like Draymond, Lee, Bogut, Zaza, etc, over the years is a big reason WHY they get grabbed. It's impossible to play defense when this is happening all throughout the game.

Not to mention when Klay and Steph consistently do this before they run their route to get open.

So yes, it's a little annoying that one rule is getting heavily enforced while the league turns a blind eye to the others.

Glad someone else noticed it.

i wouldnt mind these rules if they had any plans to call them consistently. instead if will be reserved for stars only

before the league goes completely vanilla soft/no contact, let’s stop with the ticky tac defensive calls

League is trying their best to de-thrown the Warriors.. It's impossible to call these calls consistently as every single player can foul out in a quarter if they called it like it was. Play here and there in the playoffs can swing the pendulum with a justified call to make an ambiguous foul or not.. very dangerous times for the Warriors.
