I agree that traveling isn ' t called as much as it should be and that plenty of players get away w initiating contact and getting FTs as a result . But I do think a big part of why scores are so high these days is that team ball is encouraged , therefore leading to easier shots , and that players in general are more offensivelycapable than the average NBA players of the past . So it would also be unfair to say that if one team scores 130 , the other better score half that . Today ' s players are much too skilled offensively to allow that . Plus factor in human nature relaxing when your team is up big . <| sep |> How do you create jobs if nobody is willing to start a business there ? If there ' s no money to be made in that area there is no reason for investors to build for example a factory in the area . That ' s how the current capitalist system works and it ' s one of the worst things about it imo Some people are just completely fucked . I don ' t know to how to fix this .
