P.S What has happened to the NBA I love? All these calls by the refs to “soften” up the game. The refs do not remember the NBA playoffs back in the day.

I remember seeing the “Bad Boys” roughing up MJ in the playoffs. The had a rule called the “Jordan Rule” Which means no easy dunks or fantastic plays in the key without a hard foul by Rodman or Big Bill or or other Pistons.

By the way, the Pistons were coached by the late Chuck Daly who recently passed away.

I remember seeing the hard foul by Kevin McHale against Kurt Rambis back in the day. And on and on. But these days the NBA refs are calling the games to tight.

Let the players play!!! It is the NBA playoffs. Let Ron Artest and others play their game. What is up with all the flagrant 1 and 2 fouls with Stu Jackson looking at everything in the NBA office for possible suspensions.

I am not saying I want the NBA to turn into the NHL with all the fighting. Just let the players play. The NBA is a man’s game. Let them be men. G.C.
