Protects the offensive player from falling face first. The play Ja Morant made on Rui was the perfect example. Sure he has a jet pack on his back but still.

This whole getting into people's way at the last second hoping they crash into you thing was always dangerous and stupid

2nd year in a row Ja missed a bunch of regular season games & had availability issues in the playoffs.
Also the 2nd year since he’s made The Leap. So it’s something to keep an eye on as his usage stays in the 30s.

Kawhi was exactly what you hope he would be in game 1. I was wondering if sitting out so much eventually has negative side effects but he's only played over 65 games three times in his career and over 70 twice. Doesn't seem to matter when it comes to him.

Never was a fan of the charging call where the defender rushes to the spot just to fall on their back with no intention of making a play on the ball. It's just a legal flop.

Oh god, here we go...
BAN it
Nothing to do with them being dangerous. They are garbage plays that are called incorrectly more often than any other play in basketball
An arbitrary rule we have decided to allow over making defenders contest the shot. Pro-charge dudes act like they're happening on every possession
It would clean up the game nicely and no one would miss them
Only talking about the late help defender slide in. There would obviously still be other types of charges/offensive fouls

Wore and open shirt to the arena. Wore a belly jersey for the smoke.
He must've been feeling his abs yesterday.

The defense should be rewarded for sacrificing your body like that.
Not sure I’m part of the group that wants to ban charges.

Who is making more of a sacrifice? Me taking off from 12 feet or you running under me?

People in this thread actually want to see it though.

When he played all those minutes in the Laker game and didn’t need a week off after, it was clear he was in playoff shape.
That being said, they’re going every other day through G4. He’s gonna be dead by that game. You saw Ty didnt even sub him in the 2nd half until he was grabbing his shorts & gave up an easy blowby to KD in the fourth
Luckily for them, the Suns have no bench
So their stars are gonna be just as dead, their jumpers just as flat.

Bron 38 now y'all want to ban the charge?

Ehh. Seems like it could actually make it worse. Now you have two airborne players 5 feet from the hoop and if the defender is already in position it's still a charge and he's gonna go crashing backwards and the offense seems like he has nowhere to land but on the defense. If you look at the Ja play it definitely woulda been worse since it's small v big. It's the offense's job to avoid the contact if the defense is already standing there

kd's been so unconcerned about his legacy that he's always claiming his legacy is set in stone when people question it. so unconcerned that he's exclusively demanded to be traded to top seeded/"packed" teams when things haven't gone as planned.

If you are taking off from that far clearly you have no regard for human life.
Is the defense suppose to just let you score? If you ban charges the fouls will just get harder when a player goes for a dunk.
