I watched a Pistons game for the first time in about 15 years - that's about how long they've been too awful to watch. I agree that the game has really changed. Almost every possession was either a 3-point shot or a dunk. Very little contact. Way more boring than it used to be.

Basketball has always had a couple fatal flaws IMO, one being the whole concept of free throws. Deciding a game by free throws ruins the game. I wish instead they did like the NHL and removed a player for a period of time. A little 5 on 4 would be way more fun to watch than 40 free throws per game.

The other flaw is that the refs have too much power in determining the outcome of the game. The NBA averages about 21 personal fouls per game while the NHL averages around 9. The NFL around 6. I think that's why the NBA seems "fixed" at times - the refs have way to much say in the outcome.
