I am not talking about what should be.

I am talking about what the rule is.

Me, too. when I say "what should be called (or should not)" I mean because that's the rule. If the defender goes straight up he is allowed to land. Guy is not allowed to lean or even step under him.

And the play you are talking about is not a foul if the defender jumps straight up. And NBA refs are actually pretty good about not calling that a foul even when there is a lot of contact.

Not talking about any specific play. Talking in general. Team I watch most is the Cavs and Love gets this call a lot. He shouldn't.

Yea thought this was pretty funny. It's one thing for them to do it, but another for it to be publicized. I'm sure the Clips are using it as white board material for tonight's game lol

I worry he's going to get whiplash on some of these flops. But he's good at it. And the refs, they're oftentimes partial to the little guy who's down there.

When I played hoops when I was younger I was always the smallest guy on the court. I can tell you I got away with murder, holding guys, pushing, swiping at the ball, everything. Also got the benefit of the doubt on a lot of charges instead of blocks and generally most plays where bigger guys were more physical with me.

It happens and the little guy usually gets away with a ton more stuff than a bigger defender would.

And that is how it is called. If the defender goes straight up and the offensive player crashes into him, it isn't a foul.

So I really don't understand what you are disagreeing with.

I mean, refs make bad calls sometimes.

But being straight up is hard to do in help rotation situations. Any A to B move while contesting (which happens a lot) takes the defender out of legal guarding position.

I'm thinking you don't watch as much basketball as I thought. I've seen guys lean in and draw fouls quite often in these situations...Love is very good at it.

could have ended it after the bold.

You also have to watch arm position. The defender has to go up straight, in addition to not being the one to initiate any contact on their end. If the defender goes straight up, but comes down, even slightly on the shooting hand and makes contact, it's a foul.

Yeah, but that's in general. Klay gets the baddest chicks. There's got to be some additional next level game he's running.

He's kind of a prick, from what i've seen in postgame interviews.

If I remember, Tyrone Hill used to get women. Just be a rich athlete......

But most of these models are rich, it's not just they are dating him...just fucking him.

Everyone loves dogs--if you don't then you should be probably just fuck off.

What NBA player doesn't smoke weed? lol

There has to be something else....
