Jazz vs. Thunder- LETS CRUSH THESE PUNKS

Yes. If the ball is deflected with a downward force that is less than the upward force, the ball is still going to travel upwards. It will veer off slightly, but the motion of the ball will still be up. Some people where like "OMG the ball is going up and Hayward hit down, so it must be off DURANT!!!" which is just idiotic thinking.

The call was made on the floor as OKC's ball. The review was pretty inconclusive. I for one couldn't definitely say who the ball was off of. Like in the NFL, these cases needs clear video evidence to be overthrown. There was none.

Cool story, Bro. Watching the clip on my HD tv multiple times, slow-mo and freeze-frame, I saw conclusive evidence that, yes, it was off Durrant.
 
And no, I don't have the video, and no, I'm not going to take the time to upload it because it really doesn't matter in the long run. You can take my very insistent and confident word for it or not.
 
At this point Kanter has pretty much played against every team and no one has physically dominated him. If Bynum cant then the only guy with a chance is Howard. I just dont see anyone physically dominating Kanter.

Yeah it's really cool, isn't it? Better than I'd expected. He got shocked in the early part of the season but gathered himself quickly. That getting blocked problem cannot be a permanent one. I think it's the result of being extremely confused about what to do in the court, thinkin' too much, as he himself once noted.

his footwork is so damn good for a 20 year old
 
Haha just read this thread and I also unknowingly followed the WTF laws of physics line of thought. I was entertaining myself with some My Cousin Vinny quotes in my head.

Vinny Gambini: So, Mr. Tipton, how could it take you 5 minutes to cook your grits when it takes the entire grit eating world 20 minutes?
Mr. Tipton: I don't know, I'm a fast cook I guess.
Vinny Gambini: I'm sorry I was all the way over here I couldn't hear you did you say you were a fast cook, that's it?
Mr. Tipton: Yeah.
Vinny Gambini: Are we to believe that boiling water soaks into a grit faster in your kitchen than anywhere else on the face of the earth?
Mr. Tipton: I don't know.
Vinny Gambini: Well, I guess the laws of physics cease to exist on top of your stove. Were these magic grits? Did you buy them from the same guy who sold Jack his beanstalk beans?

I don't have time to change it at work to fit the mold of "so refs your telling me that the laws of physics cease to exist on KD's hand. Your telling me that in the rest of the basketball playing world the ball would've went down BUT ONLY in that small section of the universe that is KD's hand that the ball went up despite GH's hand pushed down on the ball".... well heck y'all get the conversation in my head.
