riiiight.....a quick search shows Fox speed clocked before at 18.6 mph - and Jackson 20.5 mph....

Fox is dribbling a basketball too.

Ummm, so Fox stepped in bounds as he threw that pass. That should’ve been a turnover.

Shoulda woulda coulda

And Sac should have won the title in you know when. The NBA owes us a lot more Then just this. Take the W bro

Except he didn't step in bounds. There was clearly white between his toe and the court. The line is still out of bounds


Edit: after reading the nba rules I didn't get concrete clarification. For the throw in the rules used terms like:

"no player shall have any part of his person OVER the boundary line. "

not

"no player shall have any part of his person ON the boundary line."

Maybe I'm reading it incorrectly and it's clear as day but if it is a violation the cavs can contest it with the nba. They won't though they want that top 5 pick.

yeah someone else posted that. Was checking on the rule.

He had like a toe over the line....there is no way in hell any referee with a shred of common sense would call that a violation.

 

[Woot!]

He had like a toe over the line....there is no way in hell any referee with a shred of common sense would call that a violation.

And not just because a call like that shouldn't decide the game, but because players do inbounding stuff like that ALL. GAME. LONG. A player practically needs to walk the ball to half court to get a violation called on a routine in-bounds play.

We know that there are 10 by-the-book foul calls not made every trip down the floor in an NBA game. That's fine. Players and coaches ask only for consistency in the calls made/not made. To call THAT on Fox would have been the epitome of inconsistency.

In related news, in real time I thought: dag, if I were a coach w/Cleveland I'd put a huge, jumping body in front of Fox. It was gonna take an improbable play, obviously, but it becomes even less probable if the inbounder has a hard time throwing it where he wants to.

The line is out of bounds, it would need to be on the court to be over.

Who cares? Kings won. 2 minute reports are for losers.

True, but just in case anyone was wondering, L2M report is out and all the calls/non calls were correct according to the report. No mention of fox stepping over the line. Kings win, and now all those who want to nitpick can rest easy and celebrate with us.

I don’t know what I enjoyed more. The excitement from our broadcast or the pain and disappointment from theirs.

Besides watching that unbelievable shot? I laughed my GD ass off when it looked like it to me HB patting Sexton on his butt hahaha
