Why is this even in the rules? I'm watching the Celtics game and Pierce, KG, and Perkins are setting NFL picks out there every single time.

They did this all through last year as well. KG might as well be a moving screen.

It's epidemic. It's just like palming violations. Only the most blatant get called, but if the refs went by the letter of the law they could probably call at least a dozen in any NBA game.

I never noticed how much Kidd palmed the ball until he got to Dallas.

If the refs called every single foul,moving screen or palming violations nobody will ever leave the arena. What I would like to see is the NBA start calling flops as fouls. Some players are so over the top I can't fathom how referees fall for it.

They focused more on it early last season, but that seems to have gone by the wayside.

KG plays fullback.

It's not even a simple moving screen that's a turn of the body that normally gets called. Guy literally walks his man across the court...it's absurd.

In the 2005 Finals, Detroit had about four illegal moving screens per quarter in three of the games. (Guess which ones?)
