seems like zeller not get many calls

[rollie mass]

unless he clobbered,i'm talking about 3rd quarter,it seems he gets called for breathing on players in some games.Is he being treated like a rookie by refs or am i getting like tommy.

he is just way too soft inside, he should learn to get offensive boards back out instead of getting stuffed every time

Skinny guys get a lot of calls

They don't have the upper body mass to block out , push , shoulder strength ,  leg muscle to control their opponent .

So players that are skinny use their HANDS way more , poking , pulling , grabbing , pushing .....which gets the refs attention.

Also, as mentioned .....slow reactions are also dead giveaways to refs......

Now on offense ....to keep,from making a foul......you need to claim space ...established .....make the ref think the defender is fouling you taking your spot.   
Positive attitude , fast decisions around the rim ....led to refs giving other players  a foul. Bass has improved his game with fast going up strong .....forces the opponent to foul.

Zeller is weak upper body and small neck , shoulder....he tangles his arms and hands trying to stop people

KO ......on offensive is taking to much time in the paint.  Grab it , spin and up in one motion.


Sully has learned not touch opponents with his hands ....use his body mass and forearms to push and hold his ground.

thanks shaq for big man perspective,zeller seems on offense,to get poked, prodded and reached in on by opposing team,it winds up in tangle of arms and it goes for no call'
