Hello, Lakers Nation. Welcome into the Lakers Nation.com live podcast. I'm Trevor Lay. It's Monday night. We're here talking Lakers basketball with all of you.

Joining me tonight on the show. It's editor extraordinaire. Daniel, thanks for coming on.

Yeah, absolutely. Just watched a good playoff basketball game.

So definitely in the mood to talk some hoops here.

Yeah, so the Thunder go up 3-1 on the Wolves.

I'm my biggest takeaway, well, maybe not biggest, but a big takeaway from that game is

it's time.

It is time the NBA needs to legislate out fouling up three.

I don't blame the thunder.

It's the smart decision to make in that situation,

but it's also the smart decision in the NBA

because you're taking one of the most exciting plays in the game

and turning it into one of the most boring plays in the NBA,

in the NBA,

and that is a free throw shooting contest.

It's time.

Let's get rid of this.

Yeah, I could not agree more. Like you said, I think we should be clear that we're not hating on

OKC for doing or hating on the rule for existing. Like, obviously, if the Lakers were in a similar

situation, given the current rules, I would want them to foul because that's a smart thing to do. But I do think it is an easy fix to get rid of it.

You just make it similar to a take foul where you give them one shot and the ball.

And then obviously, teams wouldn't be doing it then.
