Lost in the discussion of Game 2: on the final possession, the Spurs needed the best shot they could get as quickly as they could get it. Yet Wemby waited for TWO seconds before setting the ball screen. No time for a tip in.Very strange

I posted replays already (and see below) and you won't find a pro ref that would agree with your assessment, unfortunately. Brunson was already jumping out of bounds, there is no arm extension. What the replay shows is that Brunson landed before releasing the ball, which would've given it back to the Spurs
Here's the actual out of bounds play where we see 2 things: Brunson saves it off of Fox whose right foot is out of bounds when ball hits him for a good save. However, we can also see Brunson's foot touches the floor a fraction of a second before he releases the ball, which is almost impossible to detect for certain in real time.
@knicks6767@kierang3573@jsanz09 This... is a take. I merely present video evidence and the actual rulebook. Unfortunately, many fans don't know the rules and their only exposure to them was in 7th grade PE. I'm hoping that with more knowledge, the anger at the game gets tamped down. Sometimes it does!
@kierang3573@jsanz09 The whole sequence was problematic from a reffing standpoint, and Marc Davis looks pretty frustrated for having to clean it all up, unfortunately. I don't have a huge problem with reasonable heads prevailing and not giving a tech to the Spurs
@kierang3573 No one justified anything, I just explained what happened on the play with angles no one had seen before. That said, the sub issue was just a procedural issue with the refs, perfectly reasonable that they'd correct it and play on.
@ThelordKeanu Just go back and watch the baseline angle. There is clear contact, and then an acceleration of head and upper torso that is not commensurate to the amount of contact nor the timing of the contact.
Because a kid felt sick at practice, I sent him home with his mom, 6 hours later his lung collapsed. A year later, he sued the school and named me as defendant. The day after the papers were served to my inbox at school, I got the notification. There is no test for a lung collapsing, which is why their suit wasn't successful, but here we are.
Buddha, this is totally incorrect. As a walk on coach, termination can happen for any reason, without cause, at will. And they don't even have to tell you why (which is exactly what happened to me). I have the most glowing recommendations you'll ever see from both the principal and the AD. That doesn't happen if a coach did something bad.
@heat_squad305@sexyman48@LBJ23ku@varietypaul@MaximusThinkin@lbf_mas I didn't do anything wrong, I got stuck in between an incompetent administration and the head of the board, based on something I had zero control over. It's a great lesson that you need to interview a potential employer as much as they interview you
@frankytank007 The flagrant they called has been consistently called that way for years. Whether you want to acknowledge that is totally up to you but it doesn't change the reality
Unclear if turning his back played a factor but this type of play where ankle turns slightly on an in-air contest and land in landing space is very often called a F1

@HoopTalk1424@asapaeom Guys, I'm telling you that what happened to me had nothing to do with what that image is trying to insinuate. The only reason why I bothered to even reply is because it's just not right that people can try to spread baseless accusations around like that.
