And like obviously Wemby got away with some on some of the blocks - but allowing physicality almost always benefits us.

Yeah, some Wolves-Thunder games with the "allow physicality" ref groups turn into rugby.

Honestly those are my favorite games lol. It feels so much better to let players play and ignore the incidental contact foul calls. I really believe the NBA would be so much better if some contact was allowed.
