    It shouldn't be a violation. If refs need to be sticklers then have the guy redo the throw in.

    Ricky Rubio has high bball IQ-- he was pointing frantically as the "handoff" was about to happen.

    lol Cole worst guard in the NBA and in a contract year :grin: This is legendary

    Miami is bad coz they got MacBob injured, Wade misses 1/3 of the games they have the worst guard rotation in the league and before they found Whiteside also very crap bigs. Basically their team is Bosh ,injured Wade, injured Deng and crap. Gonna get swept in the first round.
    East has only 3 good teams.

    I agree. That shouldn't REALLY be a turn over when Norris Cole just wanted a proper inbounds. They unfortunately counted the ball coming to Cole as the beginning of the inbounds when he was just trying to speed up the process/be nice by giving the ball to Whiteside. Kind of bull****

    This should be in Dish....

    But I wouldn't have seen it if it was there. Leave it in the GARM! That is hilarious!

    Can you imagine our team with Howard, Parsons, Bosh, absolutely no bench, and like 15M over the luxury tax?

    Man I'm happy we have Morey as GM.

    I hope Harden can somehow get his first MVP but your comment is exactly why Lebron should be the MVP every year. When he left Cleveland the first time they were in the eastern finals. They then became arguable the worst team in basketball. Same with the Heat...only not quite as bad.

    Oh, I get it. So the Rockets miss out on a gem of a player in Whiteside so we cherry pick a failed play involving this guy to feel good about ourselves when we go to bed at night. Nice try CF.

    It's a turnover because you are bringing the ball in and then throwing it out of bounds. It's a turnover for the same reason it's always a turnover when you throw the ball out of bounds.

    No they are not. Every team in the east would strugle to even make the play offs in the west.

    29 teams missed out because he had nothing but bad habits and body language. Morey didn't see this because he never showed this even in the D-League. He was drafted in 2010...

    Did you even see the clip??

    Cole inbounds the ball to Whiteside nd steps into the court.
    Whiteside passes the ball to Cole. Congrats, the ball is now in play and in the hands of the PG.
    Cole then tells Whiteside to step out of bounds. Uh oh....
    Cole throws the ball to the now out of bounds player. Turnover.

    It shouldn't be a TO because Cole shouldn't pass it out of bounds again.... nothing much the official can do except call the out of bounds. What else can they do???

    I didn't realize you could gain an advantage from a turnover
