[OptimusRhyme]

[MassachusettsKingsFan]

Great drive reke. Very Wade like.

 

[piksi]

Can we make an f'n free throw!

[mac]

Tyreke has more dunks than JT. On a random side note, has anyone seen beno dunk before?

This decade perhaps

 

[Merdiesel]

I'm not making fun of him, but Thompson looks like hes gonna cry.

 

[Sluggah]

seems strange that we'd just..keep challenging howard. despite the constant failure

 

[piksi]

quadrupleteeming D12 is too much. Just foul him. Bring in KT make him foul him every time

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Howard has been playing decoy pretty good, now he'll burn us at the end.

 

[Merdiesel]

Donte is lucky that dropped.

 

[Merdiesel]

Matt Barnes threw that down.

Sactown's Finest...

According to Orlando announcers, Joey Crawford said they are not supposed to presuppose anything, but just to see if the ball is off in time. The Orlando announcers said they were preplexed because they believed only a tip-in was allowed with 0.3 and under. They said that even Van Gunde was perplexed. So change in NBA rule?

its bull**** no matter how you slice it.

 

[Merdiesel]

In other news, the Magic are not winning anything this year.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

Feeble Hawes is no match for D12.

 

[Larry89]

Nocioni brings his weak *** forced **** and howard grabs it out of mid air

 

[Tetsujin]

And normal Noce rears his head.

 

[JeffZX]

Tyreke is not getting sufficient lift on his inside moves going to the hoop. Evidently his ankle is still bothering him.

 

[Ed2009]

Gortat is such a waste in Orlando..

The rule is 0.3 seconds. The official was technically correct:

NBA rulebook
http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_l.html?nav=ArticleList

from post #174


The way I interpret the rule is that a catch and shoot can occur if 0.3 seconds is left on the clock, no less. Recent league wide interpretation has people believing that the language necessitates 0.4 seconds for a catch and shoot. If I'm missing something, the rulebook is in that link and someone will be lurking to strike me down.

edit: in response to this,

[swisshh]

So wait, Crawford gave the Magic announcers and Kings announcers two different explanations?

 

[Merdiesel]

He just kept him out of the paint.

 

[casspion]

Hawes can't finish at the rim.weak

 

[Merdiesel]

Good foul.

 

[Circa_1985_Fan]

NICE FOUL!! Brockman=Lumber!

 

[Emma]

Brockman's funny, he went up like he was actually going to shoot that. Got him to the line though.
