It was a journey! NBA interpretation is a joke, player can take 4 steps before putting it on the floor

You are just talking out of your backside


The fouls have been called good

You are just saying this because you see over emotional players responding to technicals.

Most likely the technicals should not have been called , but the fouls looked good to me.


Wait a second, so you're saying that the technicals shouldn't have been called but the fouls looked good to you? When did I talk about the fouls? I said the officiating is bad, not just the fouls. And correct me if I'm wrong, but calling technicals out of the blue does in fact influence the outcome a great deal. Who is talking out of his backside again?

Been watching since the mid 80s and this is total BS. Also, your dislike if LeBron is comical.

Frustrating. Keep hitting timely 3s. Wish we could kick them off the ledge for good.

You're talking your a**, complete bs.

NBA players will be able to take two steps before they have to stop, pass or shoot this season.

The NBA has put into writing a rule allowing players on the move to gather the ball, after driving or catching it, and then take two steps. Throughout NBA history, the rulebook said players could take one step.

The new rule reads, in part: "A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop, passing or shooting the ball."


I expect you to admit you were wrong.

If you didn't allow players to take a step on the break, Showtime would never have existed.

Also, your dislike of LeBron is comical.
