How many fouls do you think there would be in a game if?

playground rules prevailed? As most of us know, on the playground it is different, a player has to call their own fouls which nobody is easily willing to do, cause it makes you look like a pussy.The general rule is ' no blood, no foul' ( it's even that way at the local "Y" at our pickup games)

If today's players had to call their own fouls, how many do you think there would actually be during a game?

If that was the rule do you think some players who have made a career out of whining for fouls everytime they touch the ball ( james, bryant, iverson, 'sheed, just to name A FEW) would still have the nads to call all these fouls?

A quick bonus question: Do you ever get sick of seeing players play for the foul? Alot of them do it when it's obvious they aren't going to score, but are in a position to be able to take advantage of their floor position and that of the defender by forcing contact and throwing up a shot. ( Pierce comes to mind, but alot of them do it)

    There were 58 called last night which I think is way too many. They need to keep control of the game, but they should allow them to play. There is nothing wrong with physical play as long as it doesn't deteriorate into a wrestling match. They really need to find a good middlground and let the players decide it. Some of these refs disgust me at times. The only thing that annoys me more is the constant whining of the players, even on perfectly legit calls.

    I've played a lot of basketball on the playgrounds, and it usually has a much better flow than most NBA games. I think the no blood, no foul rule is nice in theory, but unfortunately that isn't always the case. Even the most bad-*** dudes on the playground will turn into a whiny little B at times.

    I think the first 46 minutes of the game would go fairly smoothly with only a handful of the most obvious and blatant fouls being called. However, those last 2 minutes when the game is hanging in the balance the NBA divas will be coming out in full force. If Kobe or LeBron missed a shot they would be calling foul on the slightest contact. Sure, guys will bite their tongues when the game isn't on the line, but those last few moments you can count on at least 10 or 20 fouls and violations being called. The game would devolve into a heated exchange between prima donna superstars b!tching and moaning about body contact, carries, stepping on the line, 3 secs, and every other ticky tack call you can possibly imagine.

    BQ: Yeah, I think it has become a little excessive. I guess it is a smart thing to do, but it does feel like a cheap way to take advantage of the rules. I also hate how players will stick out their legs when shooting 3s in order to get contact.

    First of all, whilst you pass to a NBA sport, it is not like they are going to play replays of a participant shouting out four lettered expletives time and again. If you're that worried approximately the health of your children studying foul language, you'll be able to flip off their TV, residence tuition them and prepare a wedding with one other mother or father of your an identical perspectives in order that they would possibly not ever get potty mouth. In different phrases, the NBA is the LAST position you must be demanding approximately if you're concerned approximately your children choosing up foul language, except, nobody besides the courtroom facet season price tag holders can honestly HEAR what the avid gamers are pronouncing. Those season price tag holders honestly pay well cash to get extra of the movement, which INCLUDES the foul language. Besides, immoderate foul language will come to be in double technical fouls lovely rapid, the NBA is a loved ones exhibit and David Stern intend to maintain it that means, the avid gamers are gurus, they understand that if they do not abide via the code of behavior within the trade, they would possibly not get paintings, the slip united statesare simply that, unintended, within the warmness of the second. If you real benefit from the sport, what is incorrect with a little of depth from time to time?

    They would call fouls every second. If we are talking about winning a championship or not, the players will do anything just to win.
