Series Thread: ECF: 2) Boston Celtics vs 8) Miami Heat

[tlance]

I get it, but someone was saying without the hand on the rim it was still a goal tend. Not true.

Ok.

 

[thunderc]

Ok.

Which kind of brings up the point, should the hand on the rim be a double penalty? I get that it makes it a goaltend, but that AND a technical?

Not sure if this was already covered....

I am looking for replays of the play, but currently struggling.

Can someone post it here?

[The Q]

Neither are the WWEs

Neither is Stranger Things or The Last of Us, what's your point?

that just because people watch doesn’t necessarily mean anything.

Ratings don’t equal quality?

The Refs are bad sometimes.

But, that won’t stop me from watching.

It would appear 99% of the viewing community agrees since ratings are up.

Folks have been saying this for YEARS.

If having BLM all over the court didn’t sink them, doubt anything short of painting “ Fuck everyone who isn’t female, gay or black “ ever will.

1) wwe can be pretty fun tv when they don’t push the trashiest ones

2) reffing is not good, but it’s also really hard and the nba doesn’t make it easier by continuing to let guys travel more and more by making up bullshit like gather steps

3) To paraphrase a movie, I only like what’s good, I can’t control what’s popular

The lakers did that to Ray Allen the entire 2010 series, especially game 7, and they never called them

 

[The Q]

UNDERSTAND THE RULE – DRIBBLE AND CONTROL - Frankston & District Basketball Association

I want to take a look at control of the ball, dribbling and what happens when a player loses control of the ball then what they are then allowed to do to regain it. This is another area of frustration from referees who hear the constant yell of “Carry”, “Double Dribble” or even “Travel” when...

fdba.com.au

As long as you don’t dribble the ball anymore after fumbling it, it is not a double dribble.

Yeah, I don’t think it was a double. May have been a travel…at least in real basketball

Not sure on these weird nba rules

If that’s a travel then every pull up jump shot is a travel.

It appears some in the press feel Miami won the game and Boston only won by error or NBA decision. Celtics not worthy to be in game 7. Suspect the locker room is hearing this too.

Ok so I just read that Bam got the technical after the block for saying something. This makes more sense, but if so they didn’t do a good job on the broadcast of explaining it.

They’ve won 4 straight road elimination games. They probably don’t prepare in the same way you get hype to play the guys from Staples in Beer League softball.

Lol not buying it. Bam doesn't talk to refs.

If that was the case, it was a weak tech from the refs. I saw the heat coaches doing more talking after the decision was made than Bam

Just what I read and honestly the only thing that makes any sense.

 

[bksballer89]

I hear you. If that what they decided then thats a really weak tech in game 6 of the conference finals. Tatum does much more complaining anytime i miss a shot than Bam did there

Go Celts

Game 7 is well past the point where anyone should need extra motivation from things said in the press or by other players.

Miami’s motivation: Don’t be the first NBA team to lose a series after leading 3-0 under any circumstances. Get over the game winning tip in and move on to the next game.

Comment:

Replay review of the foul called on Horford (BOS) pursuant to a coach's challenge was deemed unsuccessful. Horford (BOS) made contact with Butler (MIA) during his shooting motion and a foul was warranted. During the review, the Replay Center Official also determined that i) the foul occurred at 3.0 seconds and adjusted the clock accordingly; and ii) Butler's shot attempt was taken from behind the three-point line, and therefore three free throws were awarded.

Here’s the error in this report. If they say the foul is in the shooting motion and not on the hip while Butler is still handling there’s not 3.0 seconds left. If that’s the foul as they state here, consistent with them awarding 3 foul shots, the time left should have been 2.7/2.8 seconds.

It's not though. I had a post last night explaining it and you can go look it up. The hand on the back is at 3.1 to 3.0 seconds which might be the foul. But also when as Butler starts his upward motion where Horford's other hand is, that's also at the tail end of 3.0 seconds and 2.9 seconds if you go frame by frame on the Twitter post with the game feed. From the replay center feed, that latter one is appears to be the foul called (the one the report says it is as well) and they indicate that 3.0 seconds is on the game clock (on the basket) from that frame from those public videos and I'm sure the timestamps indicate this as well (which the public doesn't have). It's not hard to figure out knowing how they adjudicate replay that the timeframe stamps showed 3.0 seconds so that was the call. Just give it up. They got this one right.
