Pull the trigger on the open 3, Boston.

Too low of pass from brown

Yeah, that one was low. But they had a couple others in that possession I thought.

Games not over so better game than last

[LoveMyRaps]

Love has butter hands..

[dakomish23]

Rozier is actually beating the guy in front of him but he’s already decided to kick it out when he’s passed them

[Ballerhogger]

Cs need run

[G R E Y]

There was no kick out. Legs elevated to take the shot like any jump shot. Love tripped into Morris' legs and stretched Morris' legs out, which made it seem like a kick out, which is not. All you need to look at is at the point of contact.

I guess what the refs saw in real time and what I saw in slo-mo disagree with your assessment. How can Love trip into Morris's legs if they're not beyond him? His foot tripped Love's, that's what they called. Perhaps it's a judgement as to how far the leg was out, but at this point, it's an argument of whether one is a metre or five metres off a cliff. Either way, you're falling.

Its called stepping into your shot. You're telling me there is no forward motion on anyone's jump shot? Guess you never seen what a real leg kick is if this is your definition of a leg kick.

I don't disagree about natural motion, but the consequences - Love's landing space being impeded - influenced what normally is not called. It's not about intending to 'kick', nor about my definition of a leg kick, but about what the refs called and why.

Not every player has such a shooting motion where they get a natural forward foot motion ie/ Bird who was exceptionally compact shooting the 3, barely lifting his feet, but some players ie/Kawhi who actually often lands with his feet quite wide apart on Js, so he has to be careful about where he lands.

Look it is a foul in the rule book. They dusted it off and called it mostly, I think, because it had the effect of Love not being able to land, unintentional though it was. Otherwise, they'd have likely let it go as they usually do. Harder to ignore in this instance.

[Ballerhogger]

Smart just got ran over by a truck

[dakomish23]

Thank you for not calling that an offensive foul

[Pantsman]

Lebron just wants it more.

[G R E Y]

Crucial steal by LBJ, costly turnover by the Cs.

[Najeem27]
