The NBA Thread.

Celtics play completely different when they are trying to nurse a lead.

 

He got the ball first and it hadn't left the hand of Tatum.

 

Can you link me to these baller rules?

 

Meaning he met the ball while in front of the rim, before his hand eventually was pushed back over the top of the basket?

Is that part of the rule? I guess I need to look it up.

 

I always thought that the ball needed to leave the hand to be a "shot" that could be goaltended. Otherwise, wouldn't any dunk be offensive goaltending?

 

You calling that goaltend on a court to win and stay?

 

Your logic makes sense. As a person who has never and will never be able to dunk a basketball or block someone who is trying to dunk a basketball, I've never really given it much thought.

 

Does said court have video replay?

 

You asked, i answered. No ref or player in a reg game is gonna yell goaltend and take the points.
Or maybe so but you wouldnt play again

 

Okay, cool.

I'm more interested in the NBA rules and what the refs can/should call. And yeah, if it's a goaltend by rule, I absolutely want it called, regardless of what you think of it as a "man on man" play.

 

Fine Indy. I get it. But imo, if they arent gonna call the 50 moving picks and walks during the game, i dont want that called a bucket at crunch time. Go 2 hands next time.

 

Yes. His hand getting pushed back doesn't mean anything if he met the ball before it left Tatum's hand.

 

But if letter of the law, cylinder goes up from rim so yes by rule thats 2 pts. Cant touch ball over rim

 

Only if the ball is released and Adebayo had not touched it prior to doing so.

 

You sure? Cylinder goes straight up right?
Love ya uni

 

This aint euro

 

Euro is if the ball is sitting on the rim. This is different. The ball has not left the hands of the shooter, so the defender can touch it, too.

 

Uni seems confident. I’d love to see a link or a screenshot of the rule.

Oh, and Lakers by 40 tonight.

 

Are you too stupid or too lazy to understand how to utilize the internet for things other than cuck porn? Given how adamantly you cluelessly argue topics for such elongated periods of time, I wouldn’t put my money on lazy.

I wasn’t being serious. Like, at all.
