NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has been listening to our complaints. Two flawed procedures that had basketball fans up in arms last season are being altered, in my opinion, for the league's benefit. The 'Harden Rule' and the 'Zaza Rule,' will soon be implemented in an NBA near you!
NBA refs cracking down on two areas this year: 1. "Reckless" closeouts (see Zaza); 2. Shooters creating contact to draw FTs (see Harden)
First, lets take a look at the 'Zaza Rule.' I'm sure everyone remembers this from last season, when Zaza Pachulia notoriously closed out a Kawhi Leonard jumper, and ended up injuring Leonard on the play, ruining the San Antonio Spurs' chances at beating the Golden State Warriors and making a run at the title.
