In one of today's AJC blog posts, it was mentioned that the three things he worked on over the summer were ball handling, making better decisions on the court and yes, midrange shooting.<br /><br />http://blogs.ajc.com/hawks/2010/09/27/atlanta-hawks-media-day-musings/?cxntfid=blogs_hawksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-61253191412848224422010-09-27T14:34:47.284-04:002010-09-27T14:34:47.284-04:00NBA's clearly trying to be more MLB-like in it...NBA's clearly trying to be more MLB-like in its "don't show up the ump/ref" business.<br /><br />Honestly, the hysterics from players has gone over the top. It needs to stop. Is this a reaction too far in the opposite direction?

Somebody is going to have a two point lead late in the fourth, an official is going to make a questionable call, a player is going to shout, "No!", then he's going to get whistled for a tech, giving the opposition three free throws and the ball based mostly off of poor officiating.<br /><br />Let's face it, there's already plenty of questionable calls in the paint over the course of the season. This new emphasis has the possibility of making bad calls even worse.Bronnthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11706422637764110117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-3924877322817393312010-09-24T12:59:45.254-04:002010-09-24T12:59:45.254-04:00Watch a few coaches get some of this nonsense too....Watch a few coaches get some of this nonsense too...Throwback Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508611082167589354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8912756.post-38739262684537854362010-09-24T10:32:12.086-04:002010-09-24T10:32:12.086-04:00"In addition, referees have been instructed t..."In addition, referees have been instructed to consider calling technicals on players who use body language to question or demonstrate displeasure, or say things like, 'Come on!'"<br /><br />This is just ridiculous...Blogging All The Thingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14630689984969909245noreply@blogger.com
