Welp, Hack a Shaq seemingly not going to change anytime soon

"I'm not going to say we're never going to change it, but we'll look at it closely," Silver said during an appearance on ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike. "We had a long discussion about with the competition committee this summer and the decision was to leave it and let's continue to track it.

"My inclination is not to change it, but we'll continue to watch it."

Silver said he's "conflicted" on the issue because he sees both sides of the argument about whether the league should do more to try to prevent teams from intentionally fouling poor free-throw shooters.

"It's bad, I get it, from an aesthetic standpoint, from an entertainment standpoint, for fans," Silver said. "On the other hand, I hear from literally thousands of coaches -- not just from the United States but from around the world -- saying, 'You cannot change this rule. What lesson does that send? The kids who are learning the game, this is a fundamental part of the game: A guy's got to be able to make free throws.'

That's true. In particular, I remember the Heat losing by like 40 or something in their first home game after the 2006 title. To the Bulls maybe?

I remember 2 years ago the Heat lost to the Sixers and that was the game MCW almost had a quadruple double and everyone was going crazy about it.

It wasn't home but it was the first game of the season

I'm not sweating it. DJ's FTs were looking good in the preseason. He's going to shoot 70% from the line this season . . .

Not serious, but I think he will be improved. Maybe actually get up to 50% this year :pimp: :lol: :frown:
