A foul is a foul. The refs will judge the severity of foul and part of that judgment is how much impact it had.
You're either agreeing with me in a disagreeable way or disagreeing with me in an agreeable way... I can't tell which.

I'm not really agreeing or disagreeing with either side. Just kinda stating how it really works. Which is pretty self-evident.

Based on whether or not the person contacted was affected or not, sure.

To continue using Isaiah Thomas as an example... it's well within the realm of possibility that the exact same contact might heavily influence IT and have negligible to no effect on LeBron... that's just physics.

Based on the logic going around in this thread, it would be positively wrong for an official to call a foul in the one case but not in the other case.

I question that... (but not being an NBA rules expert, I do no more than question it)

I suspect that the rules of the NBA are written in such a way that impact on the opposing player is at least a partial determinant in whether or not a particular action is a foul.

So you think a player should be penalized because they're bigger?

And that has what to do with whether or not a different standard is used on some players?

Lebron took 27 shots against Memphis, most of them inside and didn't get to the line once.

Do you have video of all the times Lebron was fouled in the Memphis game that the refs refused to call?

Fouls are missed every game.

So unless Lebron got fouled like 7X that the refs missed then it isn't a big deal.

I said it a while ago but watching NBA games from start to finish, refs miss about 20 calls per game at least

Brooklyn without Kyrie> Brooklyn with Kyrie

Obviously...

But, is Toronto without Kawhi > Toronto with Kawhi?

It sounds crazy but they are crushing it.

They were good last year in the regular season without Kyrie. It shows Nick Nurse is a hell of a coach when you consider they been doing this witout Lowrie or Ibaka for quite a while now.

I'm almost ready to say he's a top 5 coach. Top 10 for sure
