The two screens are in this story--the title tells you what the author thinks to some degree.

(Some of the content of the article is pretty silly, like the suggestion that the refs only reviewed Green's two hands to Lebron's face on a shot for whether it was flagrant because LBJ rolled on the ground--any shot like that to the face gets reviewed in the NBA, and I think a lot of people complaining have no clue what it is like to get poked in the eye with force like that.)

1st illegal screen on AD was way too easy to call.

2nd one is a little more debatable but it appears first contact is with Green's knee, which is definitely outside of his natural cylinder.

The first play was easy. That is an illegal screen at all levels.

The second play is mainly an illegal screen if you deem that DG is outside of his frame. But to me, I have no issue with either call. Context would also help if they had other illegal screens throughout the game or before. And what was called on other screens after each of these?

LOL! The NBA has been allowing illegal screening for years without penalty. It is a joke. I don’t even bother to watch this league anymore. It is all about the entertainment $. The balance between offense and defense has been perverted by the NBA to grossly favor the offense under a mindset that increased scoring sells tickets and increases viewership.

*And it's pretty much worked.

Why do you say that? I'm interested in officiating at the highest level possible, and I'm curious to know why you don't consider the NBA legitimate basketball.
