Can somebody explain the rules to me? How is that not goaltending and/or defensive basket interference?
I believe Tatum/Boston tried to argue that. I think the key is that the ball is still in Tatum’s hand when Bam blocks it...is it a shot if you haven’t released the ball yet?
I agree that's the key. The ball can't be on it's downward flight until it leaves your hand. Plus, Bam touches the ball before it's half way over the cylinder. If he had blocked it after the ball was over the cylinder, then it would have been a goaltend.

Thanks guys. Yeah, it was mainly the part about the ball being over the cylinder that made me wonder.

Well it makes tonight’s game against New York tougher and lessens the chance LA will catch Portland

That tells me nothing. Inside and outside that timeframe? So... could be any time. Great. Big help.

Oh, and I was thinking that something got lost in translation for me, because I read it and understood the same. Twice.

The nba made plans to play all those games at the same time...someone, I’m assuming players association, said no, so the nba is changing the schedule. I assume mostly for the teams that play Saturday, don’t want to have to play early games Sunday.

Lakers barely beat the Rockets 124-122, with no AD or LeBron, with a franchise record 86 points in the paint. Wilt, Kareem, Shaq...none of those teams had that many points in the paint but this depleted team did and still barely beat the worst team in the NBA lol.

Jazz lost tonight.
Their last two games are the Thunder and Kings. It’s unlikely that they’ll lose again.

Next? Collecting tax free checks in Florida.
Until he accepts that he's a 20-25 minute role player, he's not going to be effective enough to matter. He might be in the Allen Iverson class of guys who simply can't play a non-star role.

So it's that the NBA trying to do the NFL type "end of season" ?
I wasn't really following the Sham tweets either

In the last month of games the Wiz are 15-5, now on a two game losing streak with Beal being out with a hamstring which is rather unfortunate
Look at the losses, in a month of play haven't lost by more than 4pts
. Don't think anyone was looking forward to playing them but hamstrings are tricky so no Beal changes things
