He's completely leaning to the left. He was not to the spot yet.
You don't have to blow up the rule here... it was very clearly a block.
I disagree with it very clearly being a block. Like someone pointed to earlier, his left foot got there and was planted and he was leaning to catch up to him getting there first. Steve Javie said last night you don't have to be perfectly still for it to be a charge.
This is the whole point though of it. We are clearly debating what it was. They called charge, stick with charge. They used the bogus inside the circle maybe argument to go change it.
You can't just set one foot last time i checked.
I'm with you on the circle argument.
Maybe you are using “you” in general but I’ve said three separate times the correct call is a block. As we Cyclone fans know better than anyone in the world, the definition of “indisputable” ranges wildly.
My beef is I don’t know how many times I’ve seen a blown foul call on a reviewed out of bounds play and they aren’t allowed to correct that.
Also it seems like a stretch that they needed to review that restricted area.
Harden has become the most difficult player in basketball to officiate. The guy creates more real and fake fouls per game than most entire teams do. It really got away from them at the end missing real fouls and calling fake ones.
Last night I think was a sign even the best officials can get affected by a home court.
This is why I don't feel bad for him. It seems like I saw somewhere he leads FTA over the last 5 years by leaps and bounds. LBJ wasn't even close and that guy gets mugged quite a bit.
He does create the most real contact, more than James even, but he also creates the most fake bs.
Those last couple games the refs were missing obvious real fouls and at the same time sending him to the line for stupid bs.

No suspension coming for Kevin Love. The league has yet to decide on Tristan Thompson. I don't know what's going to happen with or without Thompson for Game 2.
My gut is telling me that the Warriors just took Cleveland's best punch and survived. Lebron got a fair bit of help from the rest of the team (by their modest standards) and it still wasn't enough. And I doubt Durant will shoot that poorly again.
But what's interesting is that without Iguodala, the Warriors don't really have anyone who can handle an assignment on Lebron and at least make him work for it. Time after time last night Lebron just kept calling for a high screen until he got the matchup he wanted and then got into the lane with ease.
I don't know. I'm still thinking Warriors in five but I was surpised by how the Cavs hung around last night and really should have pulled that one out.

Sure it is. The official that the commentators were interviewing while the refs reviewed it said that on the replay that it was a charge. Sounds plenty debatable to me.

They have been switching it up for at least a decade. Get with the times man...
Think that's confusing? NHL is worse. It used to be white jerseys at home and color on the road. Then something like 15-20 years ago with every team getting an alternate color jersey, the NHL flipped it to color at home, white on the road.
Well, I guess it's not confusing, it's just it used to be one way, and now it's the other.
Tomorrow LeBron haters are once again going to take to the internet tommorow whining about LeBron's whining, but seriously - what does it take for LeBron to draw a foul? For all the Jordan defense, the refs would NEVER have not called that foul for him.
