Nah. It'll be like the "Durant rule" (can't swing your arms under another and get the call) that applies to everyone but the stars who are the main culprits. BOOK IT.

Totally! It really looked in the playoffs especially that kawhi has studied how Harden gets to the line.
I really noticed kawhi use the Harden tactics in the playoffs.
It seems like he did it more as the playoffs progressed.
I can't recall him getting any calls with the 3 like Harden but on multiple drives in the Mem and Hou series he ripped through when he caught the defenders arm down and got the call. It seemed like he tired it more often as the playoffs progressed....for sure in the Houston series. He also got KD in the first quarter of game 1
No. A full-ou playoff suspension w/o pay and a forfeiture of a ring would have been a real start; but the league got what they wanted.
Just get rid of continuation beyond the arc early in the shot clock. This isn't hard stuff.
Game changer for Rockets. Takes a lot of sting out of their potential if the refs call it as explained. Kawhi is unstoppable regardless.
The type of rule that will get enforced during the regular season but will be more or less acceptable in the playoffs to allow more contact plays.
As if Pop would ever allow that.
Man I haven't missed seeing this pathetic f@ggot rape the game of basketball, tbh
One of the biggest disgraces in history to step on an NBA floor.
A complete embarrassment of a human.
I wonder if ZAZA is going to sit out playing in San Antonio this year??? cuz of all those death threats he had from crazy spur fans
I hope not.
And then I hope some crazy Texan shoots him in the ankle.
And then that ends his career.
Karma is karma
ing extreme. lol
Players like Zaza always get their comeuppance all on their own.
really not a big fan of enforcing rules against the James Harden draw foul trick..
What if it was a real foul?
SMDH.
The only vindication Spurs fans will get out of the "Zaza Rule" is the name alone, which illustrates how ing bush league it was.
Otherwise, it ain't gonna change what happened, and it ain't gonna make a damn difference going forward. Worst case scenario, teams may pick up an extra technical or give up an extra free throw while they injure their opponents.
As for Harden's bull antics, it would be great if they could actually make a difference with this. Even if they just call it a foul on the floor (or preferably an offensive foul), giving up three free throws for this is ridiculous. You shouldn't get rewarded for literally jumping into your opponent.
The chicken thing about it not being "continuation" is the roughly 50% of time when it happens when teams are already "in the penalty". So it's free throws either way.
Might have already been posted but its 4 am here and I'm too tired to look. Jalen gives Spurs some (slight) love at the end.
Marc Gasol did it against KL in the opening round. I believe it was game 4.
They should merge the Zaza rule with the Harden/Durant rule and make it legal to slide a foot under those two.
