This NBA obsession with rewarding flopping and drawing fouls by crowding up in an offensive player's body has to stop. If a big player like Boban can be called for a foul by merely bringing up his arms for a shot, then all a defender has to do to take him out of the equation is just get his body right up against the offensive big. At that point, there is just about no option for the big to do anything without making contact with the defender.
As usual, great synopsis. I thought either Boban or WCS should have been in the game in those last three minutes when the Mavs were unable to score because at least we could have gotten the ball to them inside and draw defenders, which should have left somebody with a better look, or possibly allow WCS or Boban to draw a foul and get to the line.
