NBA refuses to admit that her failure cost the Cavaliers game 2

The NBA robbed the Cleveland cavaliers of a victory and refused to admit it.

This does not suggest that there is a great conspiracy against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the league office. Adam Silver has little reason to want the Indiana Pacers in front of the Cavaliers. If it were the Lakers, the Cavs have the most marketable star and the Pacers are a small market team. The league does not deliberately place its finger on the scale, but if that were the case, this would not be time.

However, they failed and in a significant way, and this is with the consistent enforcement of a rule – one that has been around for a very long time that is available at every level of organized basketball and one that unexpectedly refuses to enforce its players.

This rule is if the players are allowed to move free throwing shots. According to the league's own rule book, a player who is positioned outside the 3-point line cannot exceed this line until the ball is published. Then the shooter cannot move until the ball hit the edge.

The Pacers got away twice with an injury

The Pacers committed both violations in the last minute of their absolutely crazy comeback win, and the referees called them both. First, Pascal Siakam missed his second free throw with 47 seconds. The Pacers Wing Aaron Nesmith was positioned outside the 3-point line, started early and was essentially next to Siakam when he let go of the ball. This made it possible for him to beat everyone else for a simple putback.

I would show you the video clip of the NBA on his putback, but the league has it removed it from the records. I can show you any other basket that Nesmith has made in the game, but the last one is empty. The league knows that she has messed up the call, but it doesn't feel like she was admitting it. Jackson Flickinger because of fear, the sword has a decent clip here.

It happened again at the most painful last game of the game. Tyrese Haliburton went down with the Pacers three and only 12.4 seconds. After doing his first free throw, his second one was short and he knew it as soon as it left his hand. He pulled on the track and was positioned for the rebound, which he would soon corrralize, which led to his 3-point shot seconds later.

The NBA published its last 2-minute report, in which all calls and non-call from the past two minutes were discussed. You are ready to own some mistakes, even critical. The referees missed Josh Hart in the last seconds of a one-point kink against the pistons in the playoffs and admitted in the L2M report.

The NBA ducked the smoke

This accountability was not to be found on Wednesday when the report in game 2 against the Cavaliers defeat against the Pacers. Instead of realizing that they missed the trace violations against the two biggest games of the Pacers, they hid the violations instead behind the sign of the “Several players in both teams”.

The players are over the line in the NBA all the time or take a step early. The referees just let go. This is absolutely true, and through the legislative letter, you were able to refer to the lane if you attempt to free the free throw. You should probably.

If you use this as a cover to miss the incredibly obvious and game -shaped violation of Nembhard in the color, while Pascal Siakam still has the ball on his hands, it is cowardly. Their own incompetence in the decision of the rules gave them cover so as not to admit their failure on a larger scale.

The Cavaliers win game 2 when Nesmith is asked to violate this piece. He should have been – the rules are clear. The referees missed it, the Pacers scored the game and won the game and took a dominant tour in the series. And the NBA wasn't enough to admit it.
