Peace

It's a clean block...if I had to venture a guess, the official would have tried to justify the call with saying the defender "got him with the body." Absolutely hate that term.

good block.
did the shot blocker play in college? big guy

The shot blocker is in the NBA right now.

Peace

Clean block. Gotta let big guys block shots and not give them cheap fouls.

Looks like Meyers Leonard to me.

It is him. Playing for Portland, went to Illinois.

Peace

Terrible whistle.

Clean block and a good example of when not to call across the paint from the Lead.

And looks like Meyers Leonard to me as well.

He is a big guy mutant. 7'1". Meyers Leonard. Illinois and Portland now.

Good block with little contact on my screen. Zebra likely would want that one back.

"And that kids is why you don't call across the lane as Lead!"

That's not across the paint. It's in the middle of the lane.

It's not a foul, either.

Clean block and verticality. All legal.

Looks like a clean block.

However, it is possible that the defenders arm made contact with the shooters head on the follow through. That's the only possible foul I could see here, and the lead would have been in a pretty good angle to see that type of contact.

I'm not going to say with certainty that its a terrible call unless I could see the angle from the other side.

Ouch...hate seeing these. Great position and body control by the defender. Almost a textbook block by a big guy who now has one extra foul to carry for the rest of the game. To echo what everyone has said...don't reach across. Trust your partner.

Again, how the HELL is this reaching across?

The defender is coming from behind and it's an opportunity for the T/C to come in with a foul if there is one and the L doesn't get it, but this is the L's primary. I don't see him calling across 2 lines here.

Agreed.
