An alternative to deliberate fouls in basketball?

The Rapters were shit except for Vnice Carter before if I remember rightly, but now they're kicking ass!

I'm feeling the only alternative here would be to penalize the deliberate fouls so hard that you allow the shot clock to be run out instead. To be honest, I think I'd prefer that. I mean, you've had the whole fucking game to score points. I understand that wouldn't go down well with most fans though.

The Raptors are still completely irrelevant, just like they always have been. The Warriors have four players better than the Raptors best player. #1 in the Eastern conference counts for nothing. Houston is the only team that has a small chance to hang with the Warriors, but that's a long shot. Kevin Durant ruined the game for the foreseeable future because now the game is all about friends joining up to get guaranteed championships. There's no competitive spirit left, and no one respects the Warriors title last year. It was a farce, and will be for years to come. Soft millenials don't care about competition anymore. It's a damn shame. You picked a pretty bad time to come back to watching the game.

I don't have any problem with fouling at the end of games. I don't see the issue. They usually only intentionally foul in the last minute to try to catch up. I watch the games on DVR anyways so I can fast forward through all the breaks and free throws.
