Yup, back when the Pistons were in Fort Wayne, they were still playing defense to win games until the league changed the rules.
I hate to say this, but I couldn't agree more with the point of his article. The officiating is absurd, terrible, ugly, etc. Let them bang bodies, let them foul hard to make a point. Did he get back up? Then its just another foul.

It's a pretty funny article. Though he's unfortunately dead on with both accounts.
I should have put Bill Simmons on my list of "5 Peope I'd Like to Punch in the Face" on Facebook.

that article by BS is the most accurate piece of writing i've seen from him. or anyone, in a LONG time. i read that all the way through and agreed with it all 100%.
sadly i don't think the nba will change anytime soon. it is more about putting together an entertainment package and calling it basketball, instead of allowing the greatest athletes in the world to PLAY BASKETBALL and let the story tell itself.
that would be the greatest entertainment there is. but instead stern and his people have changed the league and the game as we know it. and they're detroying the game completely.
Kind of like Vince McMahon finally telling the world that professional wrestling is "fixed" and then proceeding to still conjure up bullshit storylines to have the "fixed" fight.Originally Posted by Higherwarrior
Everyone is in on the joke that is pro wrestling.
Why isn't everyone on board with the fact that the NBA is fixed, too?
Sure, the outcome of the game isn't "fixed" (although some could debate that), but we all know that in certain situations certain individuals are gonna get taken care of.
Maybe the NBA should just come out and be honest? Tell everyone the deal and move on? It hasn't hurt pro wrestling much. WWE Raw still draws millions of viewers every Monday Night and it is the worst fucking wrestling show on TV.

Must admit I just the ref colum by BS.
Great article. I'm actually surprised he wrote it.

If the WWF (it'll always be the WWF to me) is fixed, then the NBA is neutered.
