Is this the Ronnie Price appreciation thread?

Aldridge doesn't get a shot to win it if Price didn't take the charge against Mayo. Also Price hit a huge three. He's now my 11th favorite player on our team!

 

He was also a big reason why the blazers faced a 21 point uphill battle

 

I'm going to guess, NO!

 

Price surprises me, kindof of a can of whoopass at the right timing.

 

I appreciated his hustle, but that last play was a block, not a charge. Mayo was in the air before Price was set. Portland got a fortunate call and took advantage of it

 

Price and Pavlovic were both key to our win, sure. I can recognize that.

 

So was Luke for that matter. He cleaned up JJ's pathetic defense, and kept doubles away from LA

Incorrect Block-Charge Call in Mavericks-Blazers game:
Jan 30 2013 4:44PM
With 1.5 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter of the Dallas Mavericks-Portland Trail Blazers game on January 29, officials called a charging foul on Dallas’ OJ Mayo. After review at the league office, the video replay confirmed the play should have been ruled a blocking foul as Portland’s Ronnie Price did not get his body directly in Mayo’s path prior to him starting his upward shooting motion. Mayo should have been granted two free throws. Click video here.

 

We would've won anyway because Mayo would've missed one and of not, Nic would've drained a three for the win.

 

The call was a bang-bang play. Could go either way. Hard to fault someone for making the call one way vs another in real-time speed.

 

You think? I was watching the game at home and instantly thought it was a block. Price slid under him pretty clearly. Great that it worked out how it did though

 

Sweet. About time a ref mistake went the Blazers way.

 

I think it should be reviewable. I think anything in the last two minutes should be reviewable.

 

Like 6 on 5 vs the Celtics. That was my favorite

 

As if the last "two minutes" of an NBA game weren't long enough already.

 

That was a goodie alright.

 

I understand but the ultimate goal is to get it right. Maybe take a page from football where a coach can challenge a play if he feels he was wronged (if you aren't going to make plays in the last 2 mins reviewable). Refs make mistakes. They even know that.

 

There are mistakes made all game long. Why elevate the ones made in the last two minutes to greater significance? I wouldn't mind giving a coach one challenge per half. If he blows it, he gets charged for a time-out. No time-outs left, it's a technical foul.

 

There should be no reason to elevate it but I think the NBA already does. They can review some plays at the end of quarters and halves from my understanding.

I think the challenge idea is better. The main idea is to just get it right.
