This completely killed Houston's bigs in their series vs Portland... and if they keep calling it like this, it'll completely ruin the Clippers with DeAndre and Griffin setting the screens.
I hate this call. Just because you're 6' and trying to fight through a bigger 7' player setting a screen, does NOT mean it's a foul on the big guy for standing there. Refs instantly react to the flop that the guard gives when running into the big guy. Such crap.
It gets them in foul trouble and takes them out of the game early on BS calls. Never really noticed it until this year's playoffs.
