How Dort is still playing in that game?
He would have been out of the game long time ago in any normal RS game or in 99% of the PO games of the last few years

There's no reason to watch the NBA when they tell you through their actions it's rigged.

No, but it might be considered 'incidental contact'

Yeah I think ball first only matters if it was ON the release. He got the shot off after the foul on the elbow so he still gets FTs

That actually was a smart call by Kidd telling PJ to intentionally miss the shot
