NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

If the inbounder made it, it wouldn’t count. If it hits the rim it doesn’t matter either it’s just a live ball not a shot. All Ayton had to do was get a finger on the ball before it went in.

Also, Zubac could literally have stuck his arm through the rim and hit the ball away before Ayton touched it and it would have been clean.

He could go up through the hoop and hit and with no call against him? Wow. But if ayton touched it first he couldn't go up through the hoop correct?

Correct so if he saw the ball coming he could go through the hoop and knock it away. Ayton touched it first so it would have been goaltending.
 
Here's the one from a few years back:



It's amazing to me that since this, nobody has paid attention and how many times we've tried to catch-and-shoot on last possessions and how many times we've failed. It's almost like this never happened.

It's also amazing to me how we still don't throw heaves with 0.8 left on the clock. We did that a couple times in the playoffs. I reject the idea of doing this nonsense to protect your numbers, but this is more understandable in the regular season, but how on earth we came to view this as acceptable in playoff basketball is some really losing BS.

It’s also a weird rule. If a guy passes to another player when the ball is in play and a guy touches it then it’s goaltending if it’s in the cylinder. Why is an out of bounds play different?

I heard that in college they dont count those heaves against your numbers anymore. Unless it goes in. So it actually encourages players making these heaves before the buzzer. Should probably implement that in the nba imo.

Since the out-of-bounds play has no chance of counting as a shot, whereas it's hard to determine "intent" when the ball is in play I suppose they could determine anything is intent to shoot if it happens on a play where the ball would count.

If it hits the rim (which it almost did) or the backboard, before a player touches the ball, it’s a violation

I've been thinking about this recently and can't think of a good reason why just shooting the ball shouldn't be legal.

Shot clock? If you manage the clock on the other end up leave 0.1 on the clock, the other team gets another shot. And if they make it, no time is off the clock, so the possession goes back to the other side and you have a shootout.

I mean... cool? Is that worse or less entertaining than a free-throw shooting contest?
