NOBODY got a free pass through the lane. If you weren't quick enough - STAY OUT. Otherwise, expect a good clean hard foul, or finding someone in your way.

Thank you Darek for reminding everyone how defense is supposed to be played. Take note for next year OKC.
Your use of the word, "sissyfied" is a very subjective characterization and not any more of a fact than anything I could be subjective about as well. And who cares about what happen in the 80s and 90s. In NCAA games people want players thrown out for that kind of stuff all the time. The league in many cases were seen more of "thug" game and not fundamental even back then and instead of being like Hockey, the NBA wants everyone to enjoy their game. Hockey and football have done many things to take out very cheap shots or things that have little to do with actual play. You might not like it, but these changes were not made for you. Not many people feel that these kinds of plays we used to see are OK anymore or you would not see the rules to almost wipe out fighting and other actions all together.

Peace
