    Unless NBA players are ready to start a civil war with both the league and NBA refs that would end up destroying the goose that lays giant golden eggs, they won't follow your advice.

    This would be a dream for NBA-haters who want it to fail.

    the whole world sees it. i’m telling you in europe for instance, every euro league player i’ve spoken to considers the nba great for making money but at the same time illegitimate. and the league wouldn’t fail, it would get new leadership to clean up the corruption

    it did change about 2-3 weeks ago. You couldn't play defense and the refs were bad. The ratings dropped and Silver is fixing it.

    Rocket were def allowed to be more physical against the Kings. This is good for the Rockets and their new defensive identity.

    As soon as Steph went out he changed the rules back. This whole season I kept saying they have it out against Dillon and Ime.

    That's fine Adam, I got other **** to do, but now he's reeling me back.

    NBA Claims No Directive Given For Referees To Call Game Differently

    NBA scoring has been down significantly since the All-Star break with teams averaging 111.7 points and 19.9 free throws compared to 115.5 points and 22.7 free throws before.

    The NBA had received criticism about the explosion of offense and there is now a widespread belief that referees were asked to call the game differently.

    An NBA spokesman, however, told Marc Stein that "there has been no directive from the league office to referees to call games differently."

    I love Anthony edwards game, but he simply doesn’t have the skin tone for Adam silver to allow him to win a championship. Luka, or haliburton will be elevated before Anthony Edwards or dearron fox sadly

    So if Michael Jordan played in the Adam SIlver era, MJ wouldn't have been allowed to have any championships either? You think Nike will work with Silver to achieve that too?

    is anthony edwards signed to klutch sports

    also with how popular ja morant is with kids, why has the nba media been trying to demonize him.. Its obvious the nba prefers haliburton over ja morant or anthony edwards

    The NBA is telling teams the league office did not deliver a directive to reduce scoring in Tuesday’s Competition Committee call, but “this trend will continue to be monitored,” according to a memo obtained by ESPN. “Slower pace, style of play, competitive intensity, officiating focus have been contributing factors identified so far.”
