As far as i can remember they have not called a single def or off 3 sec violation so far in this series..

The rockets are living in the paint on defense so it seems hard for the refs to miss the 3 sec calls..

Why are they not making those calls.. For sure the lane will then open up for Kobe and Gasol

cos ur allowed in the paint if you're within arms length of guarding someone

houston arent just standing in the paint looking for the drive

Your right kevin_405, not one has been called yet. Two teams with big's.......strange at best.

Yao is so long that he always touches an offensive player and still manage to live in the paint.

Yao is a very smart player .. but the rest are just hanging in the paint.. the refs have decided not to call it unless it is a 5 sec violation i think

Well I did notice other players camping. I might have to look at that closely in the next game.

yeah.. i think during season it's 3 secs but during the post season it's 5 sec at best. Seems like they're paying more attention towards flagrant fouls these days... and inconsistent about it too. But i know their job is hard.. You can't please everyone But if they implement the challenge like in football..hrmmm.. i wonder if that would work well.
