Is this a frickin joke?
Who else has EVER gotten an article and video links to try to illustrate such weak-ass complaints before?
They are saying Demarcus illegally held Hill's arms from properly contesting an entry pass?
Seriously?!
Well, if they're going to point out that contact as an offensive foul, then you would foul out every single big man out of every game before halftime, because they have to use their body to aid them from stopping the ridiculously-aggressive defenses that tug, poke, grab, slap, push, and flop during entry passes nowadays.
How is the sport of basketball served by disallowing a big man from even extending his arm to gain position for an entry pass?
It would remove all paint/post play from the entire game, and reduce it even more to penetration.
And those little steps are in almost every minute of every game, and is almost never called. Hell, doesn't Shaq isolate these issues during Shaqtin A Fool regularly? He's illustrated seven steps being taken before without the whiff of a whistle.
To make this article more inappropriate, what would have likely happened if the Pacers had gotten the ball back 10 seconds earlier?
They would have dribbled down the clock, and Rondo would have fouled at the same time and the game would have resolved the same way, likely.
