I don't get how the fuck people don't understand that it's no fun at all to be getting hit and scratched and taking the ball up top all day in a PICKUP GAME. We are here to have fun, experiment, do exercise and the only time you should give a foul on purpose MAYBE is a game point situation.

I try to post up and you just end up getting hit, wrapped up, pushed or slapped on the hand. We have a couple guys who can do it and attract that kind of attention you're describing where I play but overall post ups are just garbage, especially 5 on 5. Same thing with driving from a set offense (transition is another story), you just end up either going into a big crowd out of control or getting hacked.
