Stupid Fan Quote #1: "Gasol might as well retire after than."

Stupid Fan Quote #2: Blake should be on Team USA so he can dunk on the World next."

Stupid Fan Quote #3: What's the going rate of Dunks to Euros because Griffin'd made a Mint after that!"

 

[Tailback U]

I love me some Blake Griffin but he fouled Gasol on both of those dunks.

 

[James2Stapleton]

the refs arent calling offensive fouls because they can't believe what he is doing

 

[Obst]

Blake wishes he was this

agree with glen./

Blake needs better offense. His midrange jumper has improved but it takes so long to shoot plus not tht good.

sidenote- i gave TBU and error thanks.

Watched it happen live.. then proceeded to watch Blake show that he has not one post move and get punked by Bynum and Gasol down the stretch.

where were you sitting

watching live it was pretty bad, and pau was definitely shook b/c he preceded to a) miss that easy dunk, b)get that technical, c)mope a bit on the bench

luckily in the 3rd and end of 4th he manned up a bit

GO LAKERS!

And the first putback was clearly an over the back & the second one he was pushing towards the end of his dunk when play was over and elbow all in gasols face

i know they are two completely different games but its amazing to me how many charges are called in the NCAA. Contrast that with how many offensive fouls and travels arent called in the NBA.


I usually dont get hype for Blake Griffin dunks but those were crazy last night.

Not an actual foul call.

Also, that's not an offensive foul on Blake. He has his forearm out. You're allowed to have an arm bar up. You just can't push off with it.

 

[bluntside]

Now all Griffin has to do is work on every other aspect of his game.

Don't want to derail the thread, but this is something I've noticed, too. Its a huge thing in the NCAA now. In this year's NCAA Tournament, it seemed like every game had about literally 10 charge calls. Amazingly to me is how in the NCAA its legal to be running alongside someone on a fastbreak then at the last instant step in front of the guy and fall backwards and get a charge call. Its ridiculous, and its also dangerous how many times these phantom charge calls are the product of somebody getting undercut after they jump. I remember the poor Vanderbilt guard got something like 3 charging calls in 5 minutes against Wisconsin, and they were all bogus calls.

The NCAA has gone WAY overboard with it.

The charge call at the end of NC St and UNC is another great example

 

[wr50l]

I'm not much more than a basketball novice. The first one to me looks like a foul but what do I know? The second looks like a legal, supreme display of athleticism to the extent that if it is a foul by the rules then basketball and I just won't get along.

 

[ralaw]

Yeah, charge calls in basketball are absolutely horrible. Its at the point now where it isn't even worth driving to the hoop, because someone will slide in front (or under) the ball handler and get a charge call.....its absolutely horrible and kills the game

 

[Point Blank]

Good lord :rofl:
