As for the play in question, I have a block mainly because B2 slams his shoulder into A1's face. And this happens because B2 turns his body into A1 to initiate the contact.

Fair enough.
As I said, I'm not on this forum too much. Perhaps my initial post was an overreaction. This past weekend I worked some AAU games with a friend of mine who is in the D-league and worked NBA games during the lockout in the pre-season. We discussed NBA officiating at length and when I came on here I saw this thread and remembered several others where there seems to be a lot of criticism of NBA officiating (overall not necessarily of individual officials). And I saw the constant references to NBE which IMO is very derisive.
So I said my piece. Everyone is entitled to their opinions. I don't come on here to be antagonistic though I see how my initial post could be taken that way. This is good forum and though I'm not a regular here I do check in from time to time and find this place to be pretty informative. I still disagree with the way many people on here seem to characterize the NBA game and officiating but it is what it is and I'll move on.
