So now you have to burn a challenge to see if the refs got the out of bounds right at the end of the game?   That's bogus man.   If the refs don't know then they can't review it?   I don't like it.

The change they have to make is that you only burn your challenge if you are wrong.  If you have a problem with too many challenges that isn't a coach issue, that is a ref issue.

At the very least give you one more.  That would be huge.

Bwah, with dees new NBA rules, Trae gonna score like 5 points-a-game.  'Cause ya know dees rules is all about him ....

(Heh, of course one of the clips is indeed of Trae.  But I couldn't resist posting this.)

[kg01]

... and furthermore, I find it funny how big a story this was when folks thought it was only about Trae.

With that first clip being ... someone else, all I hear on this subject is crickets.

I believe it was intentional by the refs. Trae will still get a ton of fouls because these illegal moves aren't his go to. It is his abrupt stop that gets him the most fouls.

They should have kept the foul when a guy runs into the back of you when you stop. How is that not a foul?

That's still a foul. It's only when the player initiates contact with the trailing defender that it's an offensive foul. Like intentionally leaning backwards.

Wait.....

They did all of this just to say that the move that Trae does most prominently....

Is legal?

Curry on the other hand, must've thought the new rules didn't apply to him.

Not to mention that was a mean travel that didn't get called.

Curry took seven steps after his last dribble. Both feet repeatedly coming off the ground as he was trying to figure out what he wanted to do.

I love it when you talk Curry trash.

It'll be interesting how this turns out.  I'd actually like Ayton on the Hawks in the future.

My bet is that he ends up getting his money because the lack of viable alternatives and the upside.

[Sothron]

Not giving Ayton a rookie max extension is the definition of cheap. Oh wait. it is Sarver. The same cheapskate owner that has ruined every chance the Suns have had of building and maintaining a championship level roster.

 

In happier news watch this video about my boy Jokic:
