Strong-side Illegal D Rules?

I just caught PJ Carlissimo on the NBC halftime show. Ahmad asks PJ, "Whaddaya think about the new rule changes?"

(this is all paraphrased, obviously)

PJ: "I really like the new ideas, particularly the no illegal defense. Illegal defense is the reason we have all this isolation play. Why play 5-on-5 when you can play 1-on-1 or 2-on-2? Check out this clip:"

PJ puts up a clip of a right-side Mobley 2-shake ISO against the Heat. Mobley is isolated on his defender. Hardaway is standing just on the weak side, dead center of the key. Hardaway is clearly just itching to run at Mobley. Hardaway even keeps checking his feet to make sure he's staying on the weak side of the key.

PJ says: "See, the illegal Defense rule is keeping Hardaway from attacking Mobley. You can see Hardaway wants to double Mobley, but he can't because he'd be illegal".

Huh? Either PJ is an idiot or I can't understand the illegal D rules without the aid of bourbon.

I thought you could always doubleteam someone with the ball. Hardaway can leave the weak side to doubleteam the ball handler. And I keep hearing that the strong side illegal D rules were really relaxed this year. What gives?

The way I see it: Hardaway's man (can't remember which Rocket) was standing a few steps above the 3 pt line. Looks like Hardaway's man would be WIDE open for a 3 if Hardaway takes even a step or 2 closer to Mobley.

Anyway, the Heat like to bring a double team from the corner, to force the Rockets to throw a skip pass, or force the Rockets to pass around the horn - allowing the Heat to rotate back around. So the Heat don't want Hardaway to double Mobley anyway, right?

So what's PJ's complaint about the illegal D rule? Grrr. He's just whining about our boy Cat.
