He is allowed to slide so long as he is not moving towards the offensive player. For example, if the angle at which the defender is sliding is perpendicular to the direction that the offensive player is taking, it can not be said that the defender is gaining an advantage. He's maintaining his defensive position relative to the offensive player. Thus, if the offensive player slams into him, that is technically a charge.

Exactly - right - thanks for pointing this out. The myth of being set has been busted.
Now the Rockets on the other hand are trying to game the refs, while the spurs are trying to make buckets and game the refs at the same time.
Both Lee and Lowry bulled into the paint late with no hope of trying to make a shot, they were just hoping for a call.
When you are relying on the referees to make a call, you are NOT playing baksetball, you are trying to cheat the system.
Stop trying to game the refs, and start trying to play the game of basketball, and make buckets....because there are always nights when the refs are not going to fall for that BS, and you need to make shots.
