He's getting picked and no one is slowing down the ball. Not sure what the strategy is other than they don't want to leave Dirk when he sets the pick, so we'd rather take our chances with Collison.
I realize the NBA came out and said they screwed Dallas on the call at the end of the game (though I disagree).... But how many make-up calls (or non-calls) will they get tonight? If they're going to do this until D wins, what was the point of playing the game? For once, our boys are being aggressive and attacking the rim. And getting hammered, but no calls. WTF?
Dallas has been very physical in the paint. Lots of pushing and hacking. They've been called for some of it. What's the rule on post defense? Are you allowed to extend your arm and push the offensive player with your hand? I thought you had to keep your arm bent and use your forearm.
Dallas isn't an aggressive team. Portland has been the aggressor and attacking the rim. For years, every game I'd seen, that team gets the calls. Until tonight. I do know when you whack the shooter's hand, wrist, or arm, it is a foul.
