but the ref called the foul as he was rising up to shoot

There was definitely a foul but it should not have been continuation.

looks like it could have also been a moving screen 

 

[you go boy]

the nfl has been overrated.... nba>nfl but nobody wants to admit it

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Melo still a bum right.

slowly witnessing the creation of a new NBA poster boy

wheres the foul

The foul happened a few frames before where the gif starts, like before PG starts his shot 

No it didn't, look at the ref, he calls the foul as PG is releasing the ball.

as i've said before, Refs need to start getting fined. they have been blowing games all over the league this year. those 2 no calls the Mavericks got away with were just as bad

 

[rck3sactown]

My bad, I forgot referees; let alone humans in general, have great instinctive reflexes to watch a play/determine a foul was committed/call the correct foul/blow a whistle/raise their arm to signal a foul/decide on continuation.

All within tenths of a second to do all that and do it correctly.

You are right

Defenders should just go under the screen, because George doesn't even look to make the shot in those kind of situations. The man looks to draw the foul. He's done that 3-4 times now so far.

The thing here is that he didn't even try to draw a foul or flop or anything, they just randomly called one

wheres rck? somebody hold that mans hand after that kings choke job

grant and jerry was so hyped in the beginning lol

I think RCK is fine, hard to really consider it a choke job when Cousins and Rudy Gay are out hurt and its just Isaiah Thomas and Thornton against the best team in the league.

Warriors losing on their home floor to the T-pups is worse IMO

I know and that's what's crazy about this whole thing. Paul George has made this into his reputation. Ref's are looking to blow the whistle in situations like that.

Defenders need to just go under the screen and have a hand straight up. George sold it really well though--Look at his right leg hitch back. It looks like he was nudge on the side through the shot.

thomas shot way too much

thought marcus was gonna get atleast 50 after getting 22 in the first

vs a good shooter you cant go under the screen but in this case i agree, if you're up 4 its not worth it to risk it. if you're up 3 then you have to take the risk and hope the ref doesnt call a random foul

 

[rck3sactown]

Ya I'm cool 

Dope to watch Thornton randomly blow the hell up, would have been nice to see him do that throughout the game. I'm with Nelson that IT held the ball a bit too much, should have looked for Thornton more in the 4th/OT but idk, Thornton looked tired or something, he was hardly moving off the ball. It was weird.

Peaches was pissing me off in the final minutes of the game/OT when the Pacers finally caught up. Like dude, why are you so excited when the Kings were somewhat in control throughout the game and you're gonna scream your *** off when Derrick Williams is taking it to the hoop and throwing up some stupid *** layup 

 

[nelson999]

Agree. 

He probably would have hit 50 but the combination of being guarded by PG24 and Isaiah Thomas in Hero mode killed his chances.  Thornton took 1 shot (a 3, that he made) in the final 8 minutes, Thomas took 11 in the final 8 mins, only made 4

 

[bhzmafia14]

Golden State is the one choking. Golden State, Phoenix and/or Dallas are about to be in trouble. I'll give it 3 weeks before one of them are replaced by Memphis in the standings.

I'm not sure about the other times, but when the Knicks we're up 3 back in November they called the foul on Shumpert and George hit those free throws to send the game into OT. It's complete BS man. Let the players decide the game

I'm glad you brought the point up. The Kings actually have a lot of talent, but they lack discipline to finish games. A better coach and more experience will fix that. They remind of the Lions' of the NBA. If they straighten out some things, they could easily win 45+ games next season.

Cousins could be a BEAST someday :x

its the protect the shooter thing they are doing this year, i have never seen as many 3pt fouls as i have this year

i think nick young averages like 3 a game

I like to think he already is

Yeah, you're right about that. The players need to adjust on how they defender the jump shooter in those type of situations. You have to go straight up and keep your body straight as well.

 

[rck3sactown]

I am going to be sorta sad when Marcus Thornton scores 5 points on 4 shots next game 

 

[Hank Scorpio]

I like to think he already is 

He's getting there. He still plays out of control sometimes and isn't poised on a consistent basis. I think he should go to the eastern conference though. He'd do a lot better in a weaker conference with a lack of big men with athleticism. Cousin would destroy guys like Hibbert and Lopez on the block.

 

[smedroc]

PG24 need a legit moniker....

'Black Ice' perhaps??
