    It's totally legal as long as the ball is not on it's way down towards the rim.....then it becomes goal tending.

    I said DOWN towards the rim...from the apex of the shot. That ball was still on it's way up TO the rim.

    During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched the backboard below the ring level and while the ball is on its upward flight.” here is the rule lol

    you can block a shot as long as it has not made contact with the board first or if it is not on its way down. If the ball is on its way up, then its fair game, and you can absolutely PIN it to the backboard if you want. The refs got it right.

    I don't think Cleveland will get out of the east though, I think this year Toronto will come from the east, its their time, they've paid their dues. As for the Pacers, they're done, can't win with Lance Stephenson, he's a joke.

    Is that the big Orange ball or the little white one with bumps?

    Watched the replay this morning and it was goal tending. Would not have mattered though, as then they would have won by one instead of three.

    That is actually not the rule. If the ball touches above the ring, which it clearly did, it doesn't matter whether it is going down or up.

    "d. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched any part of the backboard above ring level, whether the ball is considered on its upward or downward flight. "

    It should have been called and reviewed because if it is not called it can't be reviewed. Lebron probably gets more favorable calls than anybody now.

    It was goal tending (see above thread) and if Cavs were down by two, they probably would not have attempted a three pointer knowing that a miss is a loss for sure. It was tied so Lebron took the risk of a three knowing that worst case, they go into OT.

    I still don't see it as goal tending. The ball was not touching the backboard or rim when LeBron touched it. LeBron blocked it and pinned it to the backboard...the refs know this, that's why the call was not made.
