How did that count? They didn't start the timer the moment the ball hit the player!

Starting—Throw-in ..........................5 Article: VIII, Section: a(2), Page: 24
2) If play is resumed by a throw-in from out-of-bounds, the game clock shall be started when the ball is legally touched by any player within the playing area of the court.
Since it hit the players back and the player didn't actually touch the ball the clock doesn't start until Westbrook touches the ball.

Why doesn't the ball hitting Hood in the back count as him touching it?

Exactly. If you throw the ball off of an opponent's back and it goes out of bounds, the ruling by the ref would be that your opponent was the last to touch the ball and you would get possession. So the ball hitting his back should count as touching it.

Thank you! Fuck those starfucker refs and that jackass Westbrook.
 
I used to hate Westbook, but now I like him. He got where he is based on pure unstoppable determination. I wish all our players played as hard as Westbrook. Respect his motor big time.

I just watched the replay of that shot a whole bunch of times. They actually did start the replay on time. The clock was down to .5 by the time Westbrook actually got his hands on the ball. He was simply that quick.

The real problem is that he only had one foot in bounds before he grabbed the ball. Don't you have you establish yourself in bounds with two feet before you can touch the ball?

Depends on if you're playing Houston in the playoffs or not.
 
Baffled at Rondo only getting a game for this.

Backstory, pretty sure Rondo knew what he was saying about the guy he said it to:

Also, sidebar. Can Doc be any more of an asshole?
 
In MLS it's an automatic 3 game suspension. Alan Gordon (who played for the Timbers for a season back in 2004) was the first player to be suspended for uttering a gay slur during an MLS match a couple seasons ago. A year or 2 later the MLS's first openly gay player was a teammate of his. Kinda funny ow that works.

Only 1 game is a joke. 6 or 7 games would feel about right to me.

The NBA is about to get a TON of hate for this. It'll be like when the NFL suspended Ray Rice for like 3 games and then the video got out and there was a firestorm. They're going to get a lot of anger and hate for not protecting the ref.
 
In the real world if you display this kind of behavior at work, you lose your job...next man up..it's not like the world lacks guys to take his job

If you work for someone that's dumb enough to give you a guaranteed contract, then they don't have the right to fire you without compensation. The Kings can buy him out.

Yea but for the most part anybody can do our little jobs, compared to being an elite basketball player.
 
Honestly, the mavs are just playing for a playoff berth to only get exited out fairly quickly. Yes their winning this season but for what? They have no promising young players, Dirk is retiring soon, Idk but in my opinion what do they have to look forward to? It seems like their just in that little forbidden area where their not great but not bad either. Mehh I would hate that level
 
Sheridan hoops reporting that Dwight Howard is sick of Houston, and suggests that Miami deal Deng/Whiteside/Winslow for him.

Personally, I don't see how Dwight is worth all that.
