    The NBA doesn't have the same "incontrovertible evidence" standard that the NFL requires to overturn a call.

    I understand that part, I just don’t understand how in a play that appeared so close they over turn it. They had to of seen something that changed their mind...

    Here's something incontrovertible. JR has no excuse for not immediately passing the ball to Lebron.

    Or just turning and shooting KD who he claimed was next to him is not that close to him.

    I will say one thing about the call, if any other Cav had stepped in and made the exact same play that LBJ made (on Durant) there is no question in my mind that the initial call would have been a blocking foul. LBJ initially got the benefit of the doubt. No one else on that Cav's team would have. Not on KD anyways.

    Lebron didn't get position before Durant got to him. Bron impeded Durant who was already in shooting motion. It was a blocking foul.

    They did see something. They saw bron didn't get position and impeded Durant. They saw it was a blocking foul.

    Looks good on paper. But that's the only place it looks good.

    I'm gonna disagree and say he did have position, albeit it would have been a close call.

    Brothers was reaching OUT of his primary area. LeBron was a SECONDARY defender (100% lead's call) That's referee 101.

    Per the NBA

    The crew was not reasonably certain whether James (CLE) was in the restricted area after an offensive foul was called against Durant (GSW). Upon replay review, it was confirmed that James was outside the restricted area. The referees also reviewed whether James was in a legal guarding position, which is an additional reviewable matter for this replay trigger. Replay showed James was not in a legal guarding position because he was turning his body and moving into Durant when contact occurred. Thus the initial call on the floor was overturned and James was assessed a blocking foul.

    I'll take the NBAs.

    "Replay showed James was not in a legal guarding position"

    That from the league

    It was a block.

    Ya. The refs were less than good.

    The charge/block call should never have been reviewed. Clearly outside the circle

    Here’s my defense of JR Smith, yes he should’ve known the situation, yes whatever he was trying to do well it seemed foolish. However, I have listened to sports shows all day bash him for not calling timeout, or pass it to LBJ. Couldn’t Lue call a timeout? Isn’t it the PG’s and coaches job to make sure everyone’s aware of the situation. Why isn’t Lue taking more heat over it? If I was coaching I would’ve been sprinting to the ref the second JR got the ball to call timeout. You could argue in a scramble they may have gotten a better shot, but at the least before that free throw goes up Lue should’ve sent out word what the plan was if hill misses the ft.

    Technically Draymond committed a lane violation on the last missed free throw. Hill should have had one more shot at it.
