Are referees letting the 2010 playoffs be very physical?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Overally it seems to me after 1 round, we are seeing a very physical brand of basketball allowed throughout the league.

Much more so than the last four or five years.

Look at all the hard ass spills we've seen. All the injuries too.

Am I alone in thinking this?

[EmptyMan]

It all depends who is ahead/benefiting from the physicality.

Basketball is a contact sport.
Physical is good. Getting away from ridiculous 2005-2009 era ticky-tack foul calls is good. Biased, inconsistent officiating is not good.
