Which ref f*ckup was bigger, D-Wade's foul, Defrozen pushing under the rim, or the Ginobili affair?

[BodieBroadus]

This has been some terrible officiating this offseason

 

[USSInsiders]

Get mad about a corrupt league with a long-standing reputation for corrupt officiating brehs

 

[calh45]

Push in the back while the player is in the air ain't a foul now ??

It wasn't a crazy shove or nothing. He was setting up like he was going for the rebound. It wasn't that big of a thing to me .

Lee got arm

This is the 'verticality' rule that Hibbert abused against the knicks in the playoffs a few years ago. Yea the arms are straight up but he jumped forward into wade i dont want to beat a dead horse but im amazed the league still cant get that call right

Nothing is as bad as those first 2 games in Boston in the Bos/Atl series.

 

[Bilz]

He's a Lakers fan, it probably feels like the offseason started 6 months ago

If the league makes the rules, and they say that's legal, then how are they not getting it right?

Seems your interpretation of the rule must be wrong.

Oh rly?

To be considered vertical, a defender must:

1. Maintain a vertical trajectory by jumping straight up. If the player jumps toward or to the side of an oncoming player, he will be assessed a blocking foul. A player may, however, angle his jump backwards slightly in such a way as to absorb the impact of the oncoming player, and of course, he may land behind where he leapt from because of the force of the contact.

Now watch the replay. Does zeller jump straight up, maintaining a vertical trajectory? Or does he jump toward Wade

It wasn't exatclty straight up, but wade was the one coming with more forward momentum.

Again if the league reviews this and says its legal, maybe you should change your interpretation of the rule. It's their rule after all.

hahah he talking out his ass then cause we lost that one it wouldn't have even mattered

lol, dude came from the restricted circle to the other side of the basket "vertically"

Not to mention the Lee hack.

I would have been bitter as hell if we lost this series

No that was before he jumped. When he actually left the ground he didn't make much forward movement.
