Do you think the NBA should implement more rules to protect D12?

[ispin69]

It's all about intention. What do you want, meeks and blake piledriving him into the ground?

How about a legit foul, two hands or an arm hold? Refs just want to help the other team save time since they can barely catch up to him.

Dwight Howard is being stopped with hack a shaq strategy. No one enjoys watching that.

Im pretty sure everyone enjoys watching that.

Houston's games will just become a game of tag with dwight out there.

Dwights sucky FT shooting + current rules = unwatchable games.

Dwight probably enjoyed that game of tag more than playing actual basketball anyway.

There's only a handful of players that get the hack-a-shack strategy in the NBA. Changing the rules for a handful of players is dumb.

Or here's another suggestion, Dwight Howard could actually learn how to shoot free throws...

Solution: Sit his ass out in 4th quarter.

Truth!

This guy gets paid millions of dollars per year to play PROFESSIONAL basketball, trains hours a day... if he's not averaging a respectable percantage from the line, ship his ass out. Theres NO EXCUSE to sit around 50% at the line in the NBA. Find a way to make your shots. PERIOD.

Maybe dwight should learn how to hit free throws or shit the goddamn bench in crunch time

Your post is so dramatic because it's out of touch with reality.
In the Rockets-Clippers game there where two guys on the floor who where fouled on purpose right after each other, this takes away from watching real basketball. One makes 20 million and the other 10, they're not even close to "having their asses shipped out". They do other things so well that there's a spot for them in the NBA.

I agree they should be shooting better, but these players have always been there, some players just can't shoot.

NBA implemented the stupid 5 seconds back to the basket rule because of one player,Charles Barkley.

Hack a whoever strategy isnt a smart tactic,it's just a stupid gimmick,a loophole that evil coaches took advantage of.It slows the game and bores everyone to hell. It could be eliminated easily.Each foul off the ball should be punished with free throws and the possesion back.That's what happens under FIBA rules,heck that's what happens in last two minutes of the game in the NBA.

If they didn't eliminate this for Shaq, why the hell should they do it for the Dollar Tree knock off version?
