Clearly the ref wasn't sure of his original call or another ref disagreed, and they used the restricted area review as a pretense for looking at it again. I don't really blame them and I think they ultimately got the call right, but the rule is bs because it is inconsistent with all of the other related rules.

it was a blocking foul

that being said it's bullshite they can review it. a call in the last 2 minutes should be no different than a call in the first two minutes

The reason why I only watch basketball when it is the Semis and Finals is because the foul rules are completely subjective and you can get a 50/50 split from experienced refs and observers on a significant portion of all foul/infraction calls.

When it comes to very subjective criteria for penalties and infractions, Football is a close second.

The announcer and the TV ref commentator said Durant charged and the refs in the game reversed and called it on James. Totally subjective 50/50 split -- too subjective. This is the game of Basketball's biggest flaw, IMHO.

Clarity on blk/charge review: The trigger is that if in the last 2 minutes of the 4th or overtime officials have doubt whether the defender was in the restricted area. While reviewing, they may also confirm if the defender was in legal guarding position when the contact occurred.

You aren't wrong. Basketball, especially at this level, is really fricking hard to officiate. Add fan bias to a game where the are so many judgement calls and a few missed calls, and every game seems like it is heavily influenced by poor officiating.

I've just reached the point where I acknowledge this reality and view percieved bad calls as just part of the game. Fans that blame refs are annoying, even where the alleged blame has some merit.

It was never close to being a charge. I saw the highlight. Can't believe they initially called it a charge. Never set and leans into the guy to block him. Easy foul.

Ehh rockets got jobbed out of at least 15 points in game 7. So I’m all about crap calls going for the Warriors.

Think that was a block not a charge

In slow motion it looked 50/50.



Which is why it should have have been changed

But all of the experts commenting on the game, including the retired NBA ref, all said that James was indeed in legal guarding position. Not one of them dissented. Then the refs actually officiating the game disagreed.

When the rules are that subjective and inscrutable that they elude discernment from even the most erudite of all observers, you have found a flaw in the game.

I am saying that this is a flaw in the game of NBA Basketball, IMHO. It is a severe flaw because of its impact on the final score.

NFL football has the same flaw in the subjectivity of Offensive Line Holding and Pass Interference calls. Such calls frequently take points off of the board OR place a team facing Fourth and Long into a First and Goal scrimmage situation, thus directly impacting the score.

In baseball, the subjectivity rests in calls of Strikes when a player is at-bat. This doesn't have a direct impact on the game score or at least not as much as Basketball and Football.

I think it was a block, but it was close.

However, it should have never been reviewed as it was CLEARLY outside of the restricted area.

I guess this is the part I don't get. Being in or out of the restricted area is what can prompt the review, and only that, right? If so, how are they allowed to review and possibly reverse the block/charge call? If that's the case, make both of those scenarios reviewable under 2 minutes.

Every charge/block should automatically taken to review from now on.

Every time a defender reaches in and the shooter flails like a 7 year old who didn’t get what they want, it should go to review to determine if it was a reach, or all ball establishing it being a 2, or 3 point attempt.

Make games 6 hours and 15 minutes.

At least we’ll get the right calls.

Yeah that doesn’t make it any better. I don’t know how that makes sense. If you review a foot on the 3 point line, can you look to see if he was fouled too?


I'm not saying it's a good rule but my understanding is that because it was reviewed under the "restricted area" review. I believe a defender cannot draw a charge in the restricted area. Not sure of the specifics and I'm sure someone else can clear that part up. But that is why charge/block is reviewable in that type of review alone.

But none of the commentators presenting the game agreed with you. That includes the retired NBA ref who said it was a charge, in his opinion.

My main take away is if this exact scenario would have been reversed and it happened to GSW in Cleveland it would have been explained away as well you are just going to get some calls at home especially when you are defending champs. The never leave it in the judges hands mentality.

But because it happened to LBJ it's blasphemy and he was robbed. Even though they still could have very easily won the game (though not guaranteed) with a made free throw or put back.

While the epic OT collapse is understandle given how they felt about the ending of the game, it still was there for the taking if they got their shite together instead of focusing on the 4th.

Similarly there were several times during regulation when a call didn't go their way and Lebron is focused on arguing with refs leaving a 5 on 4 at the other end.
