And right as you post this, a correctly called blocking foul on Pierce.

I thought the charge called in the first OT on Allen was a block. Defender didn't have position when Allen left the floor. But if live play, it would definitely be bang-bang.

I'll have to go back and look at the play, but the deciding point for block/charge plays in the NBA isn't when the offensive player leaves the floor but rather if the defender has a legal position before an offensive player with the ball starts his upward motion with the ball. Wouldn't change the call if what you saw was correct..just a small correction.
