Report: Not enough support among NBA GMs to get rid of Hack-a-Shaq (Ball Don't Lie)

Intentional fouling poor free-throw shooters away from the ball, commonly referred to as "Hack-a-Shaq," has become a major topic of conversation in this postseason. The strategic decision to hack specific shooters — most notably Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, but also Dwight Howard and Josh Smith of the Houston Rockets, among others — served as a lone sour patch in an otherwise brilliant first-round matchup between the Clippers and San Antonio Spurs, and has helped render the second-round affair between the Clips and Rockets nearly unwatchable at times.
