I agree. The NBA seems to have taken a "let the players decide the outcome" approach this year to another level. Only the most obvious fouls that impede a shot or a player's ability to get a shot off seem to get called. And the amount of physical play allowed seems to be increasing with each round. Although I must admit that the reffing or lack thereof has been even among all teams (except for the Lakers/Spurs series, of course :bash: ).
I don't ever recall a playoffs with this much overall physical play. Even the Detroit bad boys or the old Lakers/Celtics rivalries weren't this physical from tip off to final whistle. They may have had harder hits but not the constant grabbing, elbows and bumps.
