I didn't see another thread for the new season so why not? Hoping my Hawks will have another successful season and go even further! I'm sure the Bucks will be standing in their way once again but we'll see.
It's interesting to see the new rule in place that is being referred to tongue-in-cheek as "the Harden Rule". Lol. For those that aren't aware:
As per SI:
"The NBA made a significant rule change during the offseason that disallowed players from leaning into defenders and relying on non-basketball moves to draw foul calls."
I for one am glad because I was so sick of seeing James Harden getting cheap fouls called multiple times per game and him going to the free throw line way too many times. People speculated this would also affect players like Trae Young and it probably has but he is showing he can adapt and his scoring hasn't changed much as a result. In the meanwhile Harden, the self-professed "poster boy" for the new rule will continue to whine about it.
