I wish someone was keeping stats on this thread. I'd love an exact count of ron paul gifs. And which tweet was posted the most by people thinking...
I agree. Especially this last offseason. SO disappointing. We didn't get ANYBODY good...
That's not what the rule says though, man. Just because your foot is on the ground and you've picked up your dribble doesn't mean you're stopped....
"A player who receives the ball while he is progressing or upon completion of a dribble, may take two steps in coming to a stop" That sounds to...
Where are you getting all of that from? I can't find any of that language in the official rule book. The wording in the official rule book is...
Actually, this definitely refers to hopping off one foot then landing on the same foot, as a cleaner version of that Q&A page specifically...
Okay I've done some more searching, and deep, deep, deep in the NBA Officials Media Guide I may have found a clarification that specifically...
But there's no definition of "stopping" in regards to one foot. All it says is that if you're moving with a live dribble and pick up the ball...

You are misunderstanding the rules. As you quoted, a player that is moving is allowed 2 steps after he completes his dribble. His pivot foot is...
Wade was moving, he's allowed 2 steps after that. He took more than 2 though. And I'm not asserting a conspiracy, but the conspiracy would be...
*SIGH* 8 pages worth of travelling discussion, and unless I'm mistaken, not a single reference to the actual NBA rules. Come on, y'all....
No offense, but the people that are saying we shouldn't sign Dwight REALLY aren't thinking this through. For some odd reason, y'all have all...
You're being kind.
And to respond to the actual topic... is someone actually trying to argue that the Rockets are a poorly coached team this year??? The Rockets...
Calling someone McFail while posting an article from bleacherreport... priceless.
I consider a "quality 2" a shot at the rim. We're #1 in the league in those. So no, I don't think we're sacrificing quality 2s to shoot more 3s....
