Do you think David Stern is handing the NBA championship to fast break teams like the Suns?

I mean in the last 3 years. he changed the rules JUST FOR TEAMS LIKE THEM

- with the no-handchecking thing, which allows opponents to -play loose defense so that teams like the suns can light up the scoreboard.

-then to make them not waste that much energy on defense, he allowedd zone defense so that teams can spend more energy on offense and get into their transition game quickly.

- Every time someone just breathes into a vicinity of a player, they get called for a foul.

But more than that, David Stern changed the frickin game entirely just to kiss up to jerry/brian colangelo's A S S for takin the initiative in putting USA basketball together for olympics, world championship tournamets, etc...what a loser


Suns get away with flopping on almost 1/2 of every defensive possession...once in a while its ok, but I mean almost ALL THE TIME JUSS KILLS ME...they're cheating the game and destroyin the integrity of the game by not playing true honest defense and juss flopping

I don't think the league is set up for one particular style. If the theory was true then the Mavs would have made it to the conference finals. Also, the Heat, defending champs, didn't play an up tempo style, especially with Shaq. You are seeing more "flopping" in the league. Everyone will do whatever it takes to get the ring.

Have you been watching any of the games. How often do you see the Suns get to the foul line, check the stats. The Suns get called for fouls more than the team the are playing (especially in the playoffs).



If Stern was really kissing Jerry butt, don't you think the Suns would have won yesterday (take a look at the calls) I think the the Spurs have to be babied by the league, for what reason I do not know, maybe it is to shut them up for complaining so much.



And talk about "flopping" Manu on the Spurs is the king of flopping.

they're the floppingest group around, yet it somewhat is thoroughly disconnected out of your question. The commissioner does no longer care who the champion is. He cares approximately rankings and gross sales. He does like greater offense, i'm useful, yet that would not equate to triumphing a call the two except it somewhat is the 80s Lakers, that's somewhat the only championship group of this sort of form. the previous answerers all made lots of different factors.
