[shotsrangout]

holiday got beautiful skin pause I guess

Need his skin regime

 

[don ramon]

That was such a stupid decision by Herro

kind of weird to say something like when one's not the actual player in a playoff game

 

[aepps20]

 

[don ramon]

Maybe two of the league's biggest stars missing playoff games/series due to the slide under charge will force them to look into changing the rule

how can this be altered though? by charging a flagrant? other?

 

[RustyShackleford]

Duncan Robinson hasn't seen serious playing time in so long commentators repeatedly referred to that man as Mitchell

 

[reconic supreme]

late but lol

Extend the charge circle even further out and/or calling all of them as fouls regardless.

I've seen expand the circle further out as one idea. You basically prevent the slide under so close to where a players is launching to the basket

 

[shotsrangout]

Getting rid of charges is insane

Malik Rose would be out of a job

 

[703 hwy]

Eliminate the charge altogether

i didn't think of the former, but it does make some sense.
nba refs though, you know

This is good.

Would probably have to allow more contact at the rim + point of attack, too as a trade off.

Why do they keep saying Herro is out for the rest of the game. Man’s ain’t coming back for the playoffs

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

Legit offensive fouls aren’t the issue. If an offensive player is barreling down the lane out of control, then yeah, of course that’s a foul. But this whole slide under a player at the very last second instead of contesting a shot is wack

 

[aepps20]

I like the charge rules as is and sad guys went down but this comes with the game.

this Duncan fella is a turd but yea he's got a point

 

[nelson999]

it looks like the highest numbers in the league are less than 2 drawn charges per game.... so i feel like we could just get rid of that crap and not really notice it. Lose one to two drawn charges per game to prevent all the dumb block/charge debates, injuries from people getting undercut, flopping for charges, etc.

Right. Basically just get rid of the “player control” variety of foul. But you could still have offensive fouls for things like off-arm push-offs, leading with elbows out, illegal screens
