That's a foul on CP3.
Celtics fan. :crazy:
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Cutting to the front and stop, should be no call at the most. Not a smart move by CP3

cuz dude slowed down and stuck his ass in a place im sure brunson didnt want it

That has ALWAYS been a foul on the defender. The playoffs is not the place to make a rule change.

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

I hope they dont reverse that. Tired of all the flopping, stop rewarding it.

Then call traveling on Paul when he fell down and give the ball back to the Mavs.

easy solution.

Or call nothing and have them play on.

It isn't an offensive foul.

If it s the one I’m thinking of, the difference is Brunson used his arm to hook CP’s leg. Was a weak call though.

I agree. But since they called it an offensive foul there is not enough to overturn. Brunson was literally just running forward.

DIdn't they change the rule and now you can't walk in front of another player? It looks like CP3 was trying to create contact with Brunson, even putting his ass far out.

Should have called the traveling so it wouldn’t be challenged.

Refs are going to have to reverse this on the replay. And subs had no choice but to challenge with it being Paul’s fifth.

Agree, but if they called it, it's definitely not a defensive foul.

CP3 got the benefit of this exact call a couple games ago. Keeping this call would be consistent

Ya it was the same move. I'd prefer those be no calls tbh. It's fine to let the offensive player make an ass out of himself and that goes for many other foul baiting plays.

Have no problem with that call. He slides right in front of Brunson and slows down. Its a stupid move and just like the swipe through call, its not a basketball move and the only purpose of it is flopping and hoping for a foul call.

Good call. Play the **** game and stop trying to initiate contact.
