    The deadball block is pretty common in the NBA.

    Smart move too.

    lol why is Watson a douche all of a sudden? For all we know they just had a little laugh about it, and continued playing...

    That play was perfectly legal, Earl Watson should be awarded with a block and this should have been the block of the day. Yi sucks for getting blocked so easily. Nets fail.

    Except that wasn't a deadball goaltend... that was a deadball over-the-back block. There's a difference IMO, one is just borderline, the other is a dick move because you're getting up in the player's face and being really confrontational.

    I was more interested in Yi's lack of D and that weak layup he made instead of slamming it home. He doesn't look like he's trying, he's not going to stick in the NBA if he plays like that.
