So let's talk about the Andre Drummond rule for a second...

[Primetime21]

Then they're gonna make those fouls count, and you know what I mean when I say that.

What's the worst that could happen? Most of the time these bigs are just walking up the court, not like someone is going to tee off on them.

I would just tee off on a good free throw shooter if the penalty is gonna be no different than a flagrant

Be real doggy how long do you think that would last?

Find me a case where that worked especially over a playoff series.

1998 lakers-jazz was a 4 point victory and shaq went 9-20 at the line in the game where the jazz knocked them out

Give a little bit of context, the Houston Rockets maxed out their fouls within the first 20 seconds, while taking advantage of the fact that the refs were very lacks in calling them, the legitimate fouls.

Goons would be back in style so it would be around regularly

 

[Medio]

intentional fouls never made sense to me, that should go

but at missing 23 fts, come on b

in todays NBA? Stop it, these guys don't even know what it means to be a goon

I believe Spurs lost the series to the Clippers last year partly due to going to hack-a-jordan when they had a lead.

They'll learn that 2 free throws and the ball in exchange for your best player being Motaw'd is a good deal

NOT TRYING TO HEAR THIS BULLshyt...

THESE DUDES GET PAID MULTI MILLIONS TO SHOOT FREE THROWS.

HAKEEM, KAREEM, EWING, ZO, ROBINSON, MUTUMBO, DAUGHERTY, SMITS, YAO, SABONIS, DIVAC, THE GASOLS, ETC
ALL SHOT AROUND 70% OR HIGHER FOR THEIR CAREERS.

ITS LIKE SHAQ MADE IT COOL FOR BIGS TO BE COMFORTABLE SUCKING AT THE LINE,
BUT THESE DUDES NOT AS GOOD AS SHAQ.

WE NOT CHANGING THE RULES FOR THESE BUM nikkaS.



​

And Shaq had a somewhat legitimate excuse which is he broke his wrist when he was younger, while Drummond is now a 38% career freethrow shooter and wanted to be like Dirk when he was younger, hanging out on the perimeter shooting jumpers.

I like Drummonds game but the freethrow shooting is going to limit what he is since he'll never be as dominant in the post as Shaq to make up for it, and Diesel still shot 53%.

 

[Bilz]

The NBA is the only level of basketball that allows this.

Catering to guys who can't shoot FTs is just as wack as the teams fouling them incessantly

Gotta just make your FTs, plain and simple

 

[calh45]

Learn how to shoot free throws....He could switch to shooting free throws underhanded or something.......or sit his ass during crunch time. Shooting is a basic function of the game and he's a pro. I don't feel bad for him at all. Be mad at Andre not the rules.

exactly. you know why teams don't do this to guys like Steph Curry or Dirk Nowitzki? because they hit their foul shots. Make your free throws and teams won't hack you. I guarantee unless it was a late game scenario where they had to, nobody ever wanted to foul Ray Allen.
