I'll pass that along to Mike Wilbon of the Washington Post and Rick Telander of the Chicago Sun. Those guys are just two examples of the many columnists that have written lately that they personally don't know what a foul is in the NBA anymore. Their exact words, Skippy. It's a fairly common, shared observation by long-time NBA observers; it ain't just coming from the haters. If you don't believe me, I'll take the time and go back and link up a few columns.
And, no, I didn't watch the game either. I had sumthin' much better to do. I was lining up all the socks in my drawer alphabetically.
Edited to add:
1) Michael Wilbon-
"The larger part here is that nobody has ever known what is and what isn't a foul in professional basketball" AND "You can't get consensus from people who have been in and around the game for 100 years."

2) Rick Telander-
I personally have no idea what an actual foul is in the NBA these days."

They ain't the only ones sharing this particular sentiment.
