Wrong.

Read this excerpt from the official NBA rule book:

Section I-A Player Shall Not:
a. Touch the ball or the basket ring when the ball is using the basket ring as its lower base.
EXCEPTION: If a player near his own basket has his hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if his contact with the ball continues after the ball enters the cylinder, or if, in such action, he touches the basket.
b. Touch the ball when it is above the basket ring and within the imaginary cylinder.
c. For goaltending to occur, the ball, in the judgment of the official, must have a chance to score.

It DID have a chance to go in, though. It was short, but it could have easily gotten the soft roll...Yao should not have gone for it either way unless it was a sure airball, which it certainly was not.

I want to see Brooks and Scola get more minutes in the second half. Also, don't play Wells, he is not taking things seriously enough.

I disagree after seeing the replay.

That is your opinion. Mine is that it was clearly falling short.

This game is over.

Scorla is not doing well in this game, especially on defensive side.

Man, Yao actually beat everyone else down the floor that time and nobody saw him. Busted pass and a fast break point for Detroit.

Would anyone on our team would have thrown that pass???
No. . they would have secured the ball and waited on Rafer or someone
to come get the ball . .. !!

sometimes you gotta take the risk!

Two dump plays in a row. Is their IQ really so low?

u need to enlighten yourself. the ball looks short but it definitely has a chance to hit the rim. Yao blocked it way above the rim.
