Paul finally gets called for the obvious bait. Kudos to the refs.

Kudos to the refs for changing the rule in the middle of a series? :crazy:

Changing the rule? :lol:

CP3 got the benefit of this exact call earlier this series.

It always has been a foul on the defense. Don't act like this is new. The dribbler has always had the right to slow down and even stop. That's the way the NBA has always called it. Only reason to call it otherwise is if they want to fix the game.


There was a lot of stuff that was always called a way before this season. The rules changed.

They change in the offseason not in the middle of the playoffs. Don't give me that crap.

Like what's the D supposed to do there? Not run beside the guy with the ball

Exactly. And if you call it differently now then you're changing the rule.

Ayton is really not much of a threat without CP3 feeding him.

Luka needs to wake up on offense though. Bring the game home. The role players can only take you so far.

Learn the rules.

Learn that they've been calling it one way and now, conveniently, they are calling it a different way.

Brunson puts his shoulder into the defender on every single drive
