I was at the game last night and have not seen a replay on the crazy missed call on Lopez late in the 4th qtr IMO. I checked the game feed thread out and didn't see much talk there. What was the reason for not overturning the call?
Had to remind coworkers it's an imaginary cylinder that straight up from the hoop. No part of the ball can be in it. Don't care if the ball is on it's way in it out, you can't touch it if any of the ball is in said cylinder. Good call. Unfortunately it was my angle the refs were looking at.
What's the point having you around if you aren't going to cheat and edit the replay before sending it the officials? You really are a Laker fan, or a Buck fan.
The rule was applied correctly. I have a problem with the rule and think it should be played like FIBA.
Agreed. FIBA has some great stuff the NBA can employ. Like for example, allowing handchecking, or the goaltend thing, or how they count assists. I think games would get more competitive. They're trying to pick up NBA things like the longer 3 and the rectangular key, why can't the NBA do the same?
Nah that's what it used to be-- they changed it recently to a rectangle. http://www.fiba.com/pages/eng/fc/news/latenews/p/newsid/24352/arti.html
