I think if you hit the ball and get it out of the shooter's hand first, then subsequent follow-through arm contact isn't a foul

But that's not what happened nor was it what they said happened.

If we're being honest I was mostly miffed by going from looking like a lock to win a Tatum rest day game against a legit opponent, potentially handily (up 10 when Hali went down) and watching it fall apart mostly on the back of some insanely hot shooting. The ending was frustrating (especially with the Jaylen foul overturn; feel like it would be more defensible if it was just called a clean block live) but not super egregious.

We are definitely overusing the term meltdown though.

e: Oh I also had to confront that Derrick White had a bad game and may be cooling off which makes me very sad.

I think over turning the foul on Jaylen was wrong and done weird, but I did think Zing fouled Mathurin and they couldn't overturn the foul call on the review anyway, they could only check time.

They're explanation just kinda makes it worse though.

And people aren't melting down, their talking about a January NBA game because it's the NBA thread and it's January.

Also it was pointed out to me today that the Lakers signed Kendrick Nunn 2.0 and that got a good chuckle out of me

9-6 now with one game to go on the 16 straight games (11 on the road) against .500 or better teams Timberwolves tour. Unfortunately that last game is a b2b tomorrow night in Boston after needing to fly up from Orlando after tonight's game.

Ty Lue started the next season after LeBron left although it didn't last long.

I think it's only 5 coaches who have been with their current team for over 4 years? Or some crazy stat like that.

Sounds right



I forgot Russ existed for a while, and to be fair to him he's accepted his demotion to 20 mpg bench guard. There was a bit where he was mega toxic with a brutal contract, and everyone thought he may just flame out like Allen Iverson. He helped waste one of the last years of Lebron's prime (though lebron told the Lakers to get him so it's not really Russ's fault), you have to hand it to him,he didn't spin his way out of the league.

Following the Clippers this season has been a crazy roller coaster. Since they got their poo poo together they’ve been playing by far the most fun basketball of the 213 era. Lots of sick passes and poster dunks.

But I guess Kawhi will get injured again eventually and they’ll be back to blah.

Same... but goddamn they let the Pistons get 47 points in the first quarter. Would love it if the team could play enough defense to cover when the shots aren't falling.

I can say for my part I am watching more random league pass games than ever before. The play is good and there are lots of fun story lines. Also I am a hater to my core and its fun to just throw on a game when the underdog is up double digits and see if they can do it.

Yeah the west is similar 4-7 are pretty close. Not sure if the top 3 will change much for the rest of the season.

I was wondering why the refs didn't call a tech for taunting then I saw the bench adjust to pointing at KAT after a few seconds. Actually pretty smart.

lmao at some point you have to get used to the Raptors whistle but getting 70 paint points with only 13 free throws and the Lakers getting 23 free throws just in the 4th quarter. I know you need to artificially bump up the Lakers so they can get into the play in but come on now. Raptors also playing against the Clips tomorrow, embarrassing stuff.

Remember this?
