    I've always wondered...When defending an outside shot, why do NBA players lean their hands towards the shooters face instead of straight up?

    Wouldn't you stand a better chance at blocking or altering the shot if you went straight up? Is it physically more difficult to do that?

    It's like in football, your arms go up, not out.

    I've always thought they are trying to disrupt their view of the rim rather than block it.

    They seem to have lapses during the game where they play like they're all on the 8th grade JV team.

    Usually it's after they've already shot though, at least, imho.

    Waiting to see if the game gets away from us, then they'll come in to trash the team.

    "Let's trap harden and forget there is somebody else wide open". It's so frustrating. If they could just be mediocre at defense, this wouldn't be an issue

    They are good, but when you leave players wide open or switch centers or PF's to guard a shooting guard, toughness doesn't play a factor.
