I'm a little surprised you can T'd up for walking up to a guy the way Naz did. It was very nonchalant and aside from the tiny chest bump, almost no actual contact.

Like, if Reid took a defensive stance when he got next to Bane instead of standing straight up and down, play might have never stopped.

The NBA desperately needs to add a 4th official to the floor and get the calls right the first time.

There should have been a whistle on the initial contact but because we are asking the 3 man crew to see through the largest human beings on planet Earth, there are times the person who is supposed to have the angle to call this play has their vision blocked by a 6'6" dude.

Everyone wants the calls right the first time, players, coaches, fans, even officials, so give them another angle to view the action by putting a 4th set of eyes on the floor.

Looks like it was for the pull up more than the hang.

Pulling yourself up on the rim is always a tech, hanging on it is hit or miss.

I love Russ. He still has the fire.

He might be lacking some skills as he ages, but the fire never dies.

We don't have any size, it was an issue that they failed to address last year.

We have a bunch of 6'6" guys and two centers.
