I still hate LeBron, but god drat is he good at basketball.

What is the rule for goal tending when the ball is above the cylinder but not at the apex of the arc yet?

You cannot touch the ball in the cylinder at all, but the ref has to consider it a chance to score. The angle of a ball being above the cylinder, not moving down, and still having a chance to score seems pretty small.

LeBron blocked a finger roll from the front of the rim that was probably going in last night. Seemed like it should have definitely been a goaltend.

Here is that good and cool dunk that was called a charge that I mentioned in the gdt:

The defender started falling backward before the dunker even touched him. Honestly, it's kind of questionable whether he touched him at all.

Zingis' game has definitely matured since last year. The wild drives to the hole are less frequent and he's been playing better off the ball, letting the game come to him if you will.

I can't wait to see a confident Porzingis. Also, I'd like to see him in the post more.

Sounds like Phil is trying to run Melo out of NY and convince him to let them trade him. He ran Jerry West out of the Lakers office so maybe it will work.

Why? Melo's been good as of late I thought

He has his moments but he's holding the team back in the grand scheme of things. He's a black hole on offense. He's not making anyone better. The Knicks will never win a championship with him, so the sooner they lose him and spend that cap space elsewhere (to build around KP hopefully), the better. If we can get something in return for him, instead of him walking when his contract is up, I'm all for it.

Do players actually care about that stuff? I mean it's nice and all and I'm sure they're glad when they hear they're up there but I'm skeptical. I guess Kobe's insane so it seemed more plausible when people were like "KOBE'S GONNA STICK AROUND TO GO FOR THE POINTS RECORD" but I have a hard time imagining normal athletes caring about chasing numbers versus chasing championships, especially if they've already had an insanely successful career.

I care about it when I play video games so I assume it's the same in real life.

Like really, how did he not break his arm.

Have you never fallen before? It's not like his arm hyper-extended or anything. Most of the force of his fall dissipated when he landed with his foot.

Not saying it wasn't cool. It just didn't have the same impact as say Love's defense, Kyrie's dagger in Steph's face, or that almost chaos dunk.

As LeBron's biggest hater I have to say you're wrong. A foul on an open dunk, and Kevin Love happening to be in front of Steph while he misses a make-able shot, do not even come close. MAYBE Kyrie's dagger is on the same level, but probably not. That block was nuts.

That LeBron pass was great but if you think he purposely threw it through Wiggin's legs you're crazy. If Wiggins doesn't step toward the hoop it either goes around him or bounces off his leg. Still an amazing pass though.
