Why won't anyone admit that Boston is cheating?

[kwamay_brown54]

My eyes must be deceiving me, or is what Boston does with KG an illegal zone defense every single time or not? They are literally parking a tent in the painted area for the entire defensive possession every single time, and no call wtf? Thoughts?

Illegal defense had already been eliminated in 2001. And on that point, TD does much more defensive impact than KG, so if any team cheated, it should be SA first.

2001-02
• Illegal defense guidelines will be eliminated in their entirety.
• A new defensive three-second rule will prohibit a defensive player from remaining in the lane for more than three consecutive seconds without closely guarding an offensive player.
• The time that a team has to advance the ball past midcourt will be reduced from ten seconds to eight.
• Brief contact initiated by a defensive player will be allowed if it does not impede the progress of the player with the ball.

They set illegal screens all the time and are hardly ever called for it.

By the way KG is a punk.

Big Baby and Perkins are the punks for their bone crushing moving screens for Allen.

I noticed this alot myself watching them in the playoffs last year.

[Muser]

Everyone admits that Boston cheats with illegal screens, but then again if you don't get caught then it's not cheating right?

[IronMexican]

Whar did one analyst say? They do enough to not get called for it. They wont call it every single time. It pays off for them in the long run, I suppose.

Did you ever look at that "all fours" vid of KG?

[da_suns_fan]

Did you ever look at that "all fours" vid of KG?

I did. And unless I was looking at the wrong one, i didnt understand why they called it "all fours".

I saw a video where KG was walking out of bounds to pass the ball in and bumps chest to chest with another player on the opposing team and then immediately put his hands up to show he wasnt fighting.

Maybe he purposely walked into him to be a , but it wasnt nearly as bad as I was picturing from the way you guys were talking.

Again, why did they call it "all fours"? Did I miss something?

dude..you must have looked at the wrong video

either that or you didnt see the "all fours part" that caused the "bump" you are talking about.

How come people don't ever bring up Eddie House? That er pops his jersey after every ing shot he makes. That annoys the out of me.

[Scola]

If hes camping out in the paint, he would get called for "defensive 3 seconds". You can avoid getting called if your within arm's reach of a defender.

Eddie house is by far the biggest on the Celtics. At least for all the bag moves of KG, he paid his dues with a decade in basketball siberia and has talent to back his up. Eddie House is a made scrub.

Exactly. Where are the defensive 3 second calls?

BTW, EVERY TEAM regularly sets illegal moving screens these days - it's one of the most frustrating parts of the officiating for me. That, and the ridiculous way they now call block-charge. Far too many charges are called these days when the defender is clearly moving.
