After Wednesday's display of unsportsmanlike at the Bulls/Raptors play-in tournament game, we will surely see the NBA rewriting the rule book. Crazy thing, it was a fan that will have the NBA busy this off-season making changes to the rule book.
More specifically, DeMar DeRozan's daughter, Diar.
Imagine being at an NBA game, a play-in tournament game, one with playoff implications and atmosphere.
Now, imagine paying all that money for tickets, getting your overpriced beer to wash down that ridiculously priced pretzel to hear a high-pitched scream nearly every time the Raptors shot free throw in your ear.
Or being at the free throw line, season on the line, jobs, bonuses and contracts potentially on the line and hear a high-pitched scream from a little kid, like something was seriously wrong or they were being kid napped, every time you went to shoot a free throw.
Unfortunately, that's what the Toronto Raptors and the fans in the arena had to suffer through on Wednesday night.

This can NOT be tolerated, nobody wants to be that fan that has to have that little girl sitting beside, behind or even near them while producing that God awful sound out of her mouth.
This act of unsportsmanlike should NOT have even been allowed and there should have been an end to that after the first or second time it happened.
The Raptors shot just 18-of-36 (50%) from the line. It was a huge factor in Toronto losing, 109-105, to end their season.
Will be curious to see if this happens anymore this playoffs and even more curious to see how they word the new rule in the rule book.
