    I sat behind about 3 rows behind the goal. I sat there with my friend in amazement at how much contact goes on near the basket and there is nothing called. I see Shareef Adbur-Rahim blantantly lower his shoulder ram in it directly into Juwon's chest all in an effort to get closer to the basket.. and there was no call. The whole night I saw ALL KINDS of contact (no John Amechi) going on down there. It really was a shock to me. Anybody else been taken aback like this after their first time sitting that close to the action? - Brand0n

    Basketball is a contact sport. Especially in the paint. WWE got nothing on Dikembe Mutombo

    I remember Artest driving to the basket and Battier just clobbered him from behind and both of them just crashed into a cameraman below the goal, Artest had a incredulous smile and screamed "GAWWWDAAAAMMNNN!!"

    Reminds me of when OT and Hakeem roamed the paint, it was not for the faint of heart.

    Yeah he sure does. I have season tickets in the lower bowl and in the beginning of the season would pay close attention to Yao working in the paint on both ends of the floor.
