On Rucker's last foul I swear there was a foot of daylight between him and the guy.

what did you think about the 2nd half?

It was ok but they did start calling more of the hand checks. I dvr'd it so will be able to watch it sometime in the next couple of days

the number of fouls called in the 2nd half just killed me

The officials definitely disrupted the flow of the game. The number of fouls and the pickiness of said fouls were excessive to me (both ways).

That is the effect of the new rules. It remains to be seen whether the officials will enforce them consistently.

Yep, there were some definiete "phantom" fouls called. On some, you could see daylight between the players. We were robbed of some beautiful blocks that were called as fouls.
