Official NBA Discussion Thread

These announcers are terrible

James is out of control good tonight. Career high points in finals.
 
Van gundy is so fvcking annoying. That is a bullchit rule that vangundy is arguing. I always thought you had to be set for a charge. If you are moving looks like you are just trying to draw a charge etc. if that were the case you could just run infront of anyone and get a charge.
 
Help me out here. When did charging rule change that you can be moving and chit and not set?? Back when I played, if you just ran in front of someone to draw a charge and were not set, they called blocking every time. Was there a rule change or did all my refs and coaches have it wrong?

I think running to draw a charge is a bish move anyway.
 
So typical, they just flash the stat that Lebron is the only player in NBA to score 50+ and lose. Lol. MJ’s all time high finals is 55.

You remind us every night that you don’t watch basketball apparently. You can be moving and draw a charge, it’s not a new concept

Stupid rule and too open to interpretation. He wasn’t even in a defensive position. You guys do anything to defend Bron.
 
Before the offensive player (with the ball) becomes airborne, the defender must have two feet on the floor, be facing the opponent and be stationary to draw a charge. Otherwise, it should be a blocking foul.Jun 14, 2012

Is this rule incorrect??
 
Is everyone wrong on this but the Greg???

“Blocking foul is called when a defender is in the way of an offensive player driving to the basket.

Now, the defender cannot draw a charge in the restricted area. So even if the offense player crashes into him, its a blocking foul. No matter what. No arguments in this zone

Things get tricky out of the restricted area. A lot of the calls are based on the referee.

However, as per rules, if the defender has established position and then the ball handler crashes into him, it will be a charge.

If the defender is still moving or has not completely established position, then it will be called a block.“

Their ex official on the broadcast thought it was a charge. Even if it wasn’t it’s ridiculous they can review. He was on the spot before Durant took off. The fact he then moved his other leg in to further establish position/ brace for contact doesn’t make it a block. You don’t have to be standing motionless to draw a charge.

VanGundy is the worst.

TBS (or is it TNT) blows away these losers.
 
Holy fackin shite. I may be late to the party but demeat = Skip Bayless

Fin.
Yeah but Jordan had a team around him. Lebron played every minute last night, and played an insane amount of games, Golden State has one of the most talented and deepest teams in the history of the NBA. What more do you want from the guy? He’s carried this team this far and he’s been to the finals 8 yrs in a row...what’s the rub?
 
Today Max Kellerman and Steven A. Discussed how Lebron never takes the best offensive player and claim he does too many other things then Gary Payton comes on and says Jordan DEMANDED ATL guard the top guy of the opposing team (assuming it wasn’t a center or something ridiculous). Then they discuss how Bron doesn’t cover Curry or Durant but some non factor scorer.

Kellerman is a goob tried to say Jordan didn’t guard Kobe. Stephen A said, “Bro, he was 40 and with the Wizards, that wasn’t “MJ” “ lol.

But they were both wrong.

Did you read the tweet? I don't disagree with anything you said. Was just laughing at Skip saying no one ever said Jordan got tired, when he wrote a column in 1998 saying that Jordan got tired
