A bored Matt Barnes was catching up on some old-school NBA hoops, when he noticed how much harder the fouls were back in the day (and how many fewer calls guys used to get.) Barnes called today’s League soft on Twitter: “Watching this Pistons v Celtics from 85.. Where u had to #REALLY foul some1 to hear the whistle. #NoFlopping #NoCharges … You could hand check. Wat happened to that style of play? #REALHOOP!! The NBA is so soft now, but I guess u can say that bout all sports smh.”
