Honestly as annoying as this is, we shouldn’t have been in that situation, we had a lot of missed shots that had we made them? We would have had the lead, not to name names but McCain had an off night, he makes two shots & we’re ahead there, or embiid making more 3’s etc etc, or even nurse calling a time on that last position, we can’t let ourselves get in these situations where the refs can fuck us
Do you guys really think the NBA invented a rule that’s not in the rule book? That would be pretty easy to track right?
I have never seen this rule enforced this way in all my years of playing basketball growing up, nor in all the years I’ve watched it at my now young age of early 40s.
No.
The NBA officiating is beyond a joke and it’s ruining the product. It’s unwatchable
This is the kind of rule they keep in place so they can call it when they want and not call it when they don’t
We all knew this was coming. Refs always find a way to cover up their own bullshit.
It’s just a strange advantage to give an offensive team- why do they get this concession when they’re in control of the ball?
They just making stuff up. “Lebron dumped on the court, which equals two made baskets when there is less than 30 seconds left in the game”
I keep telling everyone it’s not the refs that’s the problem it’s the league office
Wait, since when was it “legal” in the last two minutes and overtime? Holy shit that can be exploited(like it was prior to the half court boundary line to begin with). Play keep away, anybody?
Doesn’t even make sense as a rule.
By that logic there are no back court violations one could not move into the backcourt without momentum that’s how you move
Of course his “momentum carried him into the backcourt” because he was running into the backcourt. You create a lot of “momentum” when you’re running in the wrong direction.
Put that video in front of a judge
Review Decision: “Consensual Non-Consent”
Ahh ok this makes sense thanks
The rondo play being shared here is a totally different scenario. He’s playing defense and chasing/intercepting a pass. That is perfectly reasonable. The play last night should be a backcourt or why bother having it in the rule book at all.
Here is the actual rule:
Rul 10
Section IX—Ball in Backcourt
a. A player shall not be the first to touch a ball which he or a teammate caused to go
from frontcourt to backcourt while his team was in control of the ball.
EXCEPTION: Rule 8—Section III-e (EXCEPTION).
And then, rule 8 section III e:
Any ball out-of-bounds in a team’s frontcourt or at the midcourt line cannot be passed into the backcourt. On all backcourt and midcourt violations, the ball shall be awarded to the opposing team at the midcourt line, and must be passed into the frontcourt.
EXCEPTION: During the last two minutes of the fourth period and the last two minutes of any overtime period, the ball may be passed anywhere (frontcourt or backcourt) on the court. However, if the ball is thrown into the frontcourt and an offensive player on the court fails to control the ball and causes it to go into the backcourt, his team may not be the first to touch the ball.
So did he “fail to control the ball” by taking it from the frontcourt into the backcourt?
The gymnastics in these reports are ridiculous. Everyone who has played or watched more than 3 basketball games in their lives knows that was a backcourt violation.

lol last two minute rules
What happened to the game I love?
This sounds like a made up rule
Truly get the fuck out of here.
It’s one thing to empower offense by tweaking foul calls. To straight up change the fundamentals of the game is where the NBA is a joke.

So this is the rule (with example) from the NBA Video Rulebook: https://videorulebook.nba.com/archive/legal-play-players-momentum-carries-him-into-backcourt-not-a-violation/
