Heat v. Pacers: Game 4

The two main plays that are probably going to be discussed by the media:

Great screen call. The travel call at NCAA and NF level is clearly a travel, but it appears that is not the case under NBA rules.

APG, can you quote the rule please to help with the discussion?

Also there is a call when LBJ got his 5th foul where he jumped up and contacted the shooter. I would like to see it again. Sorry, I do not have the exact time this took place. Somewhere under 5 minutes I believe in the 4th quarter.

Peace

Here is the pertinent part in the NBA rule book:

Rule 10, Section XIII

b. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball. A player who receives the ball while he is progressing must release the ball to start his dribble before his second step.

The first step occurs when a foot, or both feet, touch the floor after gaining control of the ball.

The second step occurs after the first step when the other foot touches the floor, or both feet touch the floor simultaneously

So in the play, Wade completes his dribble with his right foot on the floor. The first step occurs AFTER gaining control of the ball, so his first step occurs when he steps back with his left foot. His second step occurs when he steps back with his right foot.

Like the screen call.
Don't like the Wade travel or PF on James.

I like the illegal screen call... he gave 'em a knee and knocked him off his RSBQ.

The travel call is a tough one because I've seen NBA (and even NCAA) players get away with MUCH worse than that before. By rule, its the correct call though.

The verticality foul on LBJ I believe is an incorrect call. He jumped straight up and the offensive player bumped him. LBJ didn't do anything wrong on that play, IMO.
