Event 2018 NBA Finals, Warriors vs Cavaliers.

Kinda gotta let that one go. Lol

 

You don't have to be set.

Learn the rules of basketball then post.

 

Go look up the rule. I'll wait.

 

I know the rules. He was sliding

 

I don't need to look it up. Lebron was still sliding. He didn't beat Durant to the position. Block

 

I thought it was really close Lebron was moving, but Lebron seemed to have that position before Durant started to go up. The rule as I understand it is the defensive player can’t slide into the position while the offensive player is going up. I felt like it was close enough that whatever call they made on the floor should stand. Not sure what they saw that made them reverse it...

 

You ref college games?

 

He wasn't sliding into Durant though. He beat him to the spot. You don't have to be a statue to get a charge call.

 

Further evidence that humor has different standards in different cultures:

(Apparently that's from an old Greek film)

 

J.R. is an idiot. You should always know the time and score of a game at that point. That is the most bone-headed play at the decisive moment of a Finals game I've ever seen.

 

Didn't watch the game but in seeing replays and reading afterwards, apparently a few years ago they changed what can be reviewed so it's not just whether or not the defender was in or out of the circle. Apparently, it is also very rare to change that call for any reason but where they were in reference to the line but it can be done now.

 

Keep in mind the block/charge call was also just a few minutes after some really bad other calls in favor of the Warriors so for those who watched the game it seemed worse because the Cavs got hosed on other calls.

In real time I could see the call go either way. It's the fact they changed the foul call based on a judgement of the replay and not whether his feet were in the restricted area. It seems weird that they can do that but not look at other fouls or things like if a player stepped out of bounds. It needs to be consistent in my opinion where everything is reviewable or no judgement calls like fouls are reviewable. Like those stupid situations where a guy gets fouled and loses the ball out of bounds. They review it but aren't allowed to call a foul they have to award the team that fouled the ball if it went off the other team. You can't change that but you can change the call in this situation?

 

Two refs had different calls. At least that's what they were saying this morning

 

I coach. Have for a quarter century

 

The NBA review system is maybe the worst in all sports. So many they can review this thing but not this other thing. Just give each coach 2 challenges per half. Let them review fouls and crap too.

 

1 foot does not equal position. He was sliding. It's a block
