But at least we got to see a lot of very dramatic posturing by the guys who are supposed to blend into the hardwood.
Well, why don't you contact the officiating crew for the game, and see if you can't get a letter of apology, because you didn't get to see your big men "play" because they can't do so without committing a foul. Maybe, and this is just a crazy thought I know, if they learned to play less physically, they could have both played for 40 minutes.
