This post is the ultimate attestation to how the game is so pathetic and rigged.
There is a metaphorical equivalence to watching FIBA instead of, watching an actual NBA game, or just playing some basketball. Talented, smart people, are literally spending their time making tools to predict the rule-makers' next move, instead of just playing a game. We sit around wondering, "What's the angle?" on this one specific rule-maker-watcher, because it doesn't match the consensus coming from other rule-maker-watchers.
