Exclusive CJ MCCOLLUM TO COMPETE IN FOOT LOCKER THREE-POINT CONTEST AT NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND

Happens to the best and worst of us.

 

Cool for cj i might tune in for that event now but i still hate the whole weekend for always fucking blazers. when Lamarsha was on blazers he barely got in every year now it's like he is a shoe in even with his numbers being down. I just hate the league for shitting on our franchise.

 

NBA has shat on our Franchise since the year after we won a title, refs let our whole championship team get injured, fucked us with Jordan's home cookin in the 90's, and Ofcourse the gambling influenced 2000's. Regarding the ASG the three point shootout has always been my favorite so I'm stoked to see CJ light it up.

 

I was younger then. Now im old and cynical and know the whole world is a conspiracy to fuck me.

 

Way to go CJ! Can't wait until he beats the splash bros

 

I wasn't going to watch. Now I'm SO there. Go CCCCCCCJJJJJJJJ!

 

THIS YEARS 3 POINT SHOOTOUT IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH BETTER THAN LAST YEARS!!!!!!!

How can a referee prevent an injury?

That's right he/she simply cannot. They can only rule on what's happened not prevent it.

Please dispel with that notion.

 

By ensuring the rules are followed. You can prevent things from getting out of hand by taking action before they do. In a year where Rudy Tomjanovich was almost killed by a punch to the face from Kermit Washington, the NBA was quite rowdy.

 

Undercutting a shooter needs to be more consistently called; right now, like everything else, stars get away with too much. That move injured players.

 

I agree 100%. Players need to realize how dangerous that can be and really make an effort not to do it. But you'll always have people like Kelly Olynyk who are out there trying to injure people...

 

You are right hcp. Thanks for the correction. I didn't mean to write "a few"seconds. It should have been a couple of nanoseconds. That is more accurate. Thanks for pointing that out.

 

Frankly you don't Have a clue of what you're talking about.

Did that no fighting rule prevent the malice in the palace? Those rules exist and yes as a referee you must administer them without bias. However you can't prevent shit. You can't prevent one thing from happening. Referees can't cause players to get injured unless they make contact.

 

That was in no way shape or form a basketball play. Beverly ran into Dame with a forearm shiver. Ridiculous.

 

Yep. That was a hockey play. Straight up no place for that in the game of basketball.

 

Oh, there's a reason why it's not called. Coincidentally, it's the exact same reason why that ref called Harden's flop against Wesley (the one where he literally wasn't TOUCHED and he fish flopped on the ground holding his face like a bitch).

NBA refs are spectators. They like to see the shots, moves, dribbles, and dunks just like we do. The problem with that is you get caught up watching and forget to referee.

There is a cardinal rule that can catch 100% of these instances that must be followed:

Stay with the shooter. It's that fucking simple.

It's as simple as Dick and Jane.

See shooter jump (that's also the same time you determine if the shot is a 3 pointer). See shooter release. See shooter land. This takes less than 2.5 seconds.

Once that is done THEN you look (not at the shot) for pushes in the back on rebounds. Seeing the shot go in should only be a consequence of you looking for pushes in the back.

NBA referees are too busy looking at the shot going in.

 

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw it: a hockey play by a hockey goon. The fact the refs didn't call the flagrant is F'ing ridiculous. The refs just invited more of the same, and worse. Just asking for someone to get hurt.
