Dumbass question, since I haven't watched the NBA in forever...

Fouling the [Mark May]ty free throw guy with whatever 7 minutes left? That's a thing?

I remember the 'Hack-a-Shaq' talk from years ago, but always assumed it was just at the end of the game to stop the clock.

You cant just take what he is currently and say that's what he would be if he came here first and had a different role. Out of college he was a plus defender and a slasher. Now he's counted on to basically do everything and he'd be third wheel in Cleveland. The third wheel role has made Love totally regress but as a rookie coming in, it would possibly allow a guy to grow in his role instead of taking a back seat. From jump, two years ago, I take Wiggins all day and have said such from the beginning. Love just doesnt translate to this team the way people hoped he would as a "superstar."

wiggins was projected to be a good defender because of his athletic attributes. That simply hasn't translated. The fact of the matter is that wiggins has shown nothing in two seasons to validate any of the reasons you would take him over love, aside from golden state being a bad matchup for him. but, as i said, carry on.

The promo guy at Taco Bell HQ is probably sweating bullets. I highly doubt if they would give away 3 tacos or even 2 free tacos on the same day.

Their website has that standard little disclaimer "while supplies last" and also mention "participating locations". You can bet their "supplies" that day are going to be limited somewhat, in those locations that do participate...

It's worse now than it was back when Shaq played. A Clippers game will last 4 hours because the other team will be losing by 10 in the 2nd quarter and they'll immediately start hacking DeAndre Jordan. They need to do something about it because it's a shitty product to watch. I get trying to take advantage of a players weakness, but it shouldn't take away from the integrity of the game. Hopefully they address it in the off season, which I believe is being discussed.

Not sure what they can do though. Maybe if it's an obvious hack a whoever situation than you call it an "intentional" foul and the team gets two FT AND the ball back.

I am not sympathetic to teams that cry wolf
they like it when that megastud is killing everyone at the rim.. and owning the boards..
but don't like having to pull him off the floor to avoid the hack-a-Shaq

I don't like it when teams play offense against Kevin Love either...
but it's part of the game
