We will see this year who are boys and who are mans

[KnicksGadfly]

I love these changes and accept them!

[Mavrelous]

Of all people, he was at the Olympics and saw how much American stars, including himself, struggled with the officiating in the Olympics.

Unacceptable to who? Him?

Fans by and large have loved it.

[Currygoat]

Told you’ll lol. You can literally shove people going to the rim and step in players landing zones and they still won’t call a foul. If you see a foul call a foul

[Lalouie]

fans who know, love it.

fans who don't, wouldn't care anyway.

tough ti**i, dame

Nonsense. Ive seen people get flagrants for stepping in landing zones this year and shoving someone going to the basket will be called 100% of the time if the officials see it.

Again, the changes do two things: stoping players from creating fouls themselves and actually allowing people to play defence in this league again.

The rule changes are acceptable. The game is much better. You have to adapt. There’s other players doing great with the rule changes…

And? I’ve seen refs not call those fouls a bunch of times this year. Players that don’t flop are even complaining. Y

It’s the NBA. Refs miss calls with regularity. That’s doesn’t mean it’s related to the changes in how games are called.

I don’t care about individual players. If you see a foul call a foul. You’ll casuals are praising the nba for bringing back good defense, but good defense isn’t pushing players at the rim lmaooooo

Not all of them lol

Dont get me wrong i love the changes in reffering but i have seen Harden fouled hard going to the basket multiples times without getting any whistle.

I remember one time a player i dont remember tried to grab Harden to stop the play but wasnt called for the foul.

Some guys are clearly targetted but well it is not like they did not deserve it.
Guys like durant, curry even derozan dont have any problem with the new rule though.

The rules changes are universally loved by fans. I have never seen a rule change like this that has been so slanted in polls, and perception, ever.(favorably)

To me this sends the messege that Dame doesn't care about the fans, or their enjoyment of the game that allows him to make millions, and I don't see any other way to slice it.

I really like Dame as a player, so to hear him say this is disappointing as hell.

Those who actually have been watching Blazer games: is he actually getting fouled?

I know things are bad out there in Portland but man, he looks dejected. It would make sense that a good rule change (imo) would have some early negative unintended side effects.

Wondering if thats whats actually happening, or if the league is also getting larger (wings) & better/smarter defensively along with the rule change. Or maybe a bit of all.

[BloodNinja]

This is the best officiating I have ever seen

Yes he is. I’ve watched every blazers game this year. Dame doesn’t flop defenders are getting away with murder on him

[SHO'NUFF]

He’s been playing bad before the season even started………in the Olympics.
