I can't understand how people are saying there wasn't enough to warrant a charge when there was CLEAR DISPLACEMENT. Hibbert was cleared out and landed on his back.

Are you trying to tell me it was a flop? In mid air?!?

How about the LBJ flop on the foul George got?

Great call. Not even close to being a no call or a block.

This is a 'play on' - in rugby, maybe.

Gotta say, this has been an entertaining series 😀

I wonder if Lebron will try to take over game 7. Wade wants to ball more but the key players are Bosh and Steph. Bosh especially needs to pick it up or the Heat could lose.
I hope there (aren't) ref issues with game 7. Looking forward too an exciting game (just less ads NBA!):mad:

You hope there are ref issues? 😕

If it's a close game, someone will bit** about something.

Block I. Defender just inside marked area.

We discussed this before and I am sure someone will reference the actual rule again, but when a player goes airborne the arc is not at play.

Another play very similar was no-called earlier. See play #3 below (35 seconds). I thought that one was a charge too, although the defender's verticality could be argued. Seems like too much contact to no call.

This is a type of play that could have gone either way.

And that is what is so absurd about the way this rule is written and interpreted. Given perfect knowledge, there should be a right answer. The reason we don't always agree on a call is that there usually isn't perfect knowledge - there are differing opinions about what caused what or what happened first... but on this play, I think everyone agrees on the order of events... yet still the call could go either way. Dumb rule.

Just my thought, but on that play, it looks like the defender jumps forward and not vertical. I think a block, but not a no call.

Pretty sure you just posted this just to troll. This freaking idea was brought up early in the thread and easy refuted well before you posted. Why in your right mind would you then post this?

Looks like we are in a clear minority here but I agree.

I thought Hibbert jumped toward Lebron and also slightly brought his arms down causing contact with the shooter.

Please take this to the fanboy thread. (And if the Pacers are garbage then why is this series in game 7?- and no, I don't want an answer)

This is the exact type of play that should be discussed on this forum.

The contact was with the chest, not the arms. If anything the contact in the chest completely displaced Hibbert. And Hibbert fell on his behind.

You come to a forum dedicated to talking about officiating related topics. By happenstance, there just happens to be a section dedicated to talking about basketball officiating . And pray tell, people are actually discussing a...call made by a basketball official?

If this is a waste of time, then I'm not quite sure why you even post here.
