Those that have a block...why? Not disagreeing yet, just interested in your reasoning.

Anyone think the Lead was too wide?

He was still running up the court in transition, with players beside him. Where would you preferred he go?

BTW, I think it was a PC.

I think it is a PC foul too.

The Lead pulls up around the FT line extended and coasts the rest of the way to the endline. Would anyone rather see this play coming at them instead of looking at it from the side?

Even at full speed he wasn't going to make it to the endline in time to receive the play. He would have been putting on the brakes just as contact was occurring.

Exactly. Even the fastest guys get caught out sometimes and have to make a tough decision from a bad angle. I think if Lead was watching the defender the whole time then I think he would have had a charge even from his angle.

charge. That's good D.

Tough to see where the contact with defender was, looked like it might have been almost knee-to-knee.

But the travel is almost as easy as they get. Ridiculous to count that bucket.

Easy? That's a joke.

Maybe my characterization was too strong. Its closer than I thought at first.

Still a travel though
