They can't look at that?

It was intentional.

That's a flagrant.

That's a foul, but shouldn't the bucket count? Foul happened after the play.

Gobert great defensively, clogs the paint offensively. Should play more like Draymond and set screens at the 3 point line.

Not a natural motion? He is staring at the ball the entire way through the basket and his arm comes down from the release point

Commentary is dumb. Basket should count too
