I watch the NBA a bit but not as closely as I used to.
When did they put in a rule that you can take away a made basket because the shooter was out of bounds way after the play ended and play has resumed?
That was weird. [Reply]

I'd go Warriors in 6. This is easily the weakest version of the Curry/Klay/Draymond Warriors they've had in the championship era (2014-now) and from a pure basketball perspective the Celtics are right there in talent level, but the Celtics are too inexperienced to make me fully believe in them. Celtics should have won this Heat series in 5 games and they were a Jimmy Butler open three away from choking out in 7. I'll trust the team that's done it before. [Reply]

I know they review 3 pt shots to see if the foot is on the line and have been doing that for a long time. Can't tell you when exactly though. [Reply]

It happened to the Raptors at a playoff game I was at 5 or 6 years ago (taking away a three like a minute after the play because a guy stepped out of bounds during it) At the time, I had no idea you could do it either. Not sure when that became a rule. [Reply]

Their system loves Tatum, Brown and Smart (as it honestly should, they are tremendous two way players) and doesn't like Klay (which I am much more skeptical of considering how he tends to go off for these 8+ 3PTM games in huge games). [Reply]
