[QUOTE="Ghost, post: 2590048, member: 581"]
I struggle watching the NBA - it's just non-stop fouling and no calls.  I mean, stars get calls, but it's sort of hard to watch anything off the ball.  There was a sequence in the Boston game yesterday that started with Baynes throwing someone to the ground in front of the ref with two or three trips in a row to follow where people were almost decapitated.  Each time they jump around for a call after being bludgeoned, but nothing comes because they're not LeBron or a star.

That sequence just plays out constantly each game with a few clean ones if nobody drives.

It's constant pushing off the ball, every defender literally holding the arms of whomever he is guarding.  I don't know - I hear the argument that the officiating is better, but it just seems like they call nothing, but for some reason flopping is far less prevalent.  I could officiate an NBA game tomorrow.  Just don't bring a whistle.  :)  Otherwise, it's the same as college, but much more physical, and fouls awarded randomly.

I find it worse than college.  Which is shocking as college officiating is pretty awful at times.  At least I get the impression they're trying to enforce rules though.
