Amen. I don't want losers playing for the Rockets. If Artest wasn't in the NBA, he would be in jail.
Has anyone heard about Alston since the last game? Has his status changed?
Yeah, I'm not seeing a lot of hidden potential. His post offense is always out of control. It is shocking how many of his shots go in...
I don't know if it is due to an overly complicated playbook, a general unfamiliarity with each other and the offense, or timid play, but the...
I think Kobe did that when he won 3 championships in a row.
Found it... according to a poster on the Official Forum, the Lower Defensive Box is a rectangle that is 3 feet wider than the FT lane on each side...
Great. I'll be very interested to find out if it clarifies this. I didn't know this forum existed, and I checked through it some myself and I...

It doesn't give him the right to ignore other rules, and the other rules absolve the defender with legal position from contact initiated by the...
Wrong forum... :)
On your initial post you cited: That is the last line in the block-charge rules. I don't think it gives the official carte-blanche to call a...
The rules are clear that no offensive foul can be called inside the restricted zone, whether that makes sense or not. I think (someone correct me...
There was no judgment to be made on whether Yao had position, so there was no judgment to be made on whether or not a foul could be called on Yao....
I'm really hacked because Yao is good at moving his feet and getting position for post defense, but he is constantly penalized for it. There...
