    The official play-by-play disagrees with your assessment.

    If you're going to claim otherwise, you really should figure out a way to provide video evidence.

    Just look at the last play in the Zach highlights shown in this thread 3 pages ago. It was a goaltend. We have the video proof - and it counted as it should have.

    The commetators said goal tending becasue they didn't understand what the call was about but later corrected themselves to offensive foul which was obviously the call

    If you watch the game and listen to the commentary they say offensive foul, they go something like "goaltending? ah no, offensive foul" and then they show an obvious offensive foul in the replay. There is no goaltending anyway because there was no block

    Yes, the ball went in, but only after Bamba hit it after it hit the backboard. It was a goaltending call.

    upload_2018-10-26_8-22-29.png

    As @andalusian said, it's the last play on the video below. Calabro pretty clearly says that it was called goaltending.

    Prove me wrong! Come at me bro! Passing competition, name the place you want to get smashed.

    I get the impression it doesn't matter what proof you show him. We're all wrong!

    You got it Lanny! You bring the cheerleaders.

    I'm gonna need some directions to Mt Tabor, an oxygen tank and somebody ready to call an ambulance in case I go down.

    But other than that he has no chance.

    A bar owner in the Old West has just hired a timid new bartender.

    The owner of the establishment is giving his new hire some instructions on running the place.

    He tells the timid man, "If you ever hear that HCP is coming to town, drop everything and run for the hills!! He's the meanest, biggest, nastiest outlaw who ever lived!!"

    A few weeks pass uneventfully. But one afternoon, a local cowhand comes running through town yelling, "HCP is coming to town!! Run for your lives!!!"

    When the bartender exits the saloon to start running, he's knocked to the ground by several townspeople scurrying out of town.

    As he's picking himself up, he sees a large man approaching the saloon, probably about 7 feet tall, muscular, grunting and growling as he walks.

    He stomps up to the door, orders the poor barkeep inside, and demands, "I want a beer NOW!!" He pounds his heavy fist on the bar, splitting it in half. The bartender nervously hands the big man a beer, hands shaking. He takes the beer, rips the top of the bottle off with his teeth, and downs the beer in one gulp.

    As the poor timid bartender cowers behind the bar, the big man gets up to leave. "Do you want another beer?" the bartender calls out. "Dang it, I don't have time!!" the big man yells. "I gotta get out of town!!! Didn't ya hear HCP is a-comin??"

    Dame climbed to 5th in the league in PER. At 32 now. Just nuts. Only Davis/Blake/Jokic/Steph ahead of him.
