Let 'Em Play!

Maann I miss these days! Since the Pistons/Pacers brawl a few years back it's obvious the league has cracked down on players and made a conscientious effort to control game play as they see fit. It started with the dress code, then escalated to an increase in fouls, fines, and now more technical fouls being called for criticizing refs. I wish they'd let players go at it like back in the day, trash talk, scuffles, and all; it added to the rivalry and competitive nature of the games, especially in the playoffs. So since we won't probably ever see this style of play in today's league, sit back and enjoy what once was.
