The “hack-a-(insert whoever’s name here)” messes with the integrity of the game much more than this point differential tie-breaker. (alien.top)

I’m reading stuff about players not feeling happy and it this or think it’s “weird” and they have every right to. But I find it funny that we have had years of guys intentionally fouling bad free throw shooters 90 feet away from the basket and nothing about “integrity of the game” being an issue.

For the record. I’m fine with that strategy. If you can exploit a weakness to win a game, then you do it. However, I can admit that that is not basketball the way it was intended to be played.

I think that having unskilled giants plodding around and dominating just because they are big is the thing that actually goes against how it was intended to be played.

But I also think free throws in general are stupid.

We want to watch nifty athletes run, pass, and shoot. Hacking is a symptom of the rules that get in the way of that, it's not the disease.
