Was it just me or was both Chalmers half court buzzer beaters a backcourt violation?

Seemed like both times he caught the ball, he was behind the half court line. Just sayin hah

Neither. If you look at the rulebook, it never even covers the situation you had in the first one (Chalmer's foot was on the line, half in the frontcourt half in backcourt, then he jumps off that foot to catch the ball while in the air, well passed the plane of the line at that point). Tonight;s was not even close. I'd check into Jason Terry;'s catch trying to avoid the foul in game 4 though at the end of the game off Kidd's pass
