Double standards by the NBA

[livinglegend]

Post players can get pushed, hacked, hit... no foul.
As soon as a perimeter player is touched, a foul is called.
Best evidence of that: OKC/Memphis series

it s not about about that OKC/Memphis, but about how the NBA favours perimeter players over post players. The game is called differently for post player. It seems like rules change for them, it makes it harder for them.

That's actually in the rules of basketball since forever. When someone posts up you can put a forearm on their back legally. You can't do that on the perimeter.

Sh1t is like this even in YMCA ball man

An intelligent and mature and not foolish person would explain what s wrong instead of using insults.

Wut.

Posting is up is defined by completely different rules than the perimeter.

It's no longer a big mans game. They have effectively turned it into a perimeter based isolation/three point game. Since the low scoring 90's, the rules and the criteria for foul calls have steadily changed to favor perimeter players.

Except from that forearm rule, are there other rules that are different for post players?
The same foul calls that perimeter get should also be called for the post player and that is not happening right now in the NBA.

Different set of rules?
Name those rules. ( apart from the forearm rule)

This is actually a legitimate question.

Did rules change or the refs changed their way of calling the game?
