The thing people don't seem to understand about the way the NBA has refused to penalize that entire team of floppers, is that when the officiating crew decides to reward that unbecoming behavior, it changes the way the game is played. Now you have a team that can freely attack the hoop and the other team feels obligated to give them space to do so out of fear that they'll foul out if they don't. It's a completely different ballgame at that point, and the product is completely unwatchable. I will never understand why the NBA doesn't just enforce the actual rules that they still have on the books about this. It was a problem fifteen years ago when they first started fining players, and there is no question about the fact that it's a much larger problem now that all could have been avoided with even moderate enforcement of the actual rules.
