NBA Ruins Game

Lets put the responsibility for Suns Spurs mess squarely on where it belongs...the NBA. I believe teams like the Spurs, Jazz, Detroit, etc. simply foul on every possession. They push, elbow, and grab. They know that the officials can't call every single foul. Therefore, they get away with a great deal of "cheating." The officials don't control the game and you end up with the following (see article).

I enjoy good basketball, when it's played cleanly. I know when you're running full speed, a little out of control or trying to block out an opposing player, things happen and fouls occur. But the pushing and the grabbing and now the hard fouls to prevent baskets has got to stop. It's wrecking the game. The NBA is responsible...it's their game. Is this what they really want?
