Series Thread: NBA Finals. Cleveland vs. Golden State...

Ohhh...didn't see that Love walked on the floor from the bench.

really? Missed that...

I understand the rule. My thing is LBJ was not close to the restricted circle so therefore the initial review to see if he was in or out was not needed.

I get once they decide to review then they can decide if it is a block or charge which I'm fine with. My problem is when a player is not close to the circle then why go to the review? Was it because you knew your refs likely missed a crucial call?

I get your logic.

But the premise still stands - the refs initially made a bad call in this case (one of them did), but they were able to go through and fix it to the correct call. Isn't that the ultimate goal - to have a efficiently officiated game with minimal errors?

What a stupid rule.

Unfortunately a lot of them tend to be just that....and I'm not only talking about in the sports world.

Draymond Green such a punk for talking so much shit.

Also

Reggie Miller is a legend for talking so much shit.

Lol

 

[The Oldtimer]

Exactly, he wasn't in position

Also, "even if LeBron was outside the restricted area, under NBA rules, the officials can look at the replay to determine if the defender was in legal guarding position".

Yup they showed it in the post game show.

I disliked Draymond for the nut shots in 2016 - something he seems to have strayed from.

But love the shit talking and getting under player's skin. Same shit Rodman used to do.

 

[The Oldtimer]

No both called charge.

Okay thanks.

 

[Black Adam]

I'm still laughing @JR though. I think Kobe would've broke him down in the locker room lol

one of the most classic bonehead plays of all time...

Exactly...LOVE me some Dray.

Remember that sun-spurs series? It’s definitely not out of character. Didn’t Amare get suspended for coming a foot onto the court?

I'm still salty about that

[LAD]

Hahahahaha these guys asking the questions are on one. Making fun of JR...I can't. Lol

But as JVG said, if the refs can change block/charge calls in the final 2 minutes then why not take it further and give coaches 2 challenges in the final minutes to challenge all the shit calls these refs constantly screw up late in the games?

Why is block/charge the only type of foul call that can be changed in the final minutes?

 

[Kold]

Don't know if you guys talked about this one, but by rule, Kevin Love should be suspended

 

[The Oldtimer]

Refs out here creating their own rules.

Unreal.

Lebron was so far out of the restricted area that there was no need to ever go to the replay

"LeBron was outside the restricted area, but under NBA rules, the officials can look at the replay to determine if the defender was in legal guarding position".

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The gift that keeps on giving.

Damn.

Ouch.

 

[Black Adam]

Yup they showed it in the post game show.

now I'm interested in seeing if there's going to be any rulings tomorrow...

Yes, this is a good point.

even I was mad at the league office for that ruling. Spurs caught a MAJOR break...
