The Great Goaltending Debate

[MannyIsGod]

If the NBA ever calls a block like that a goaltend, I'm going to be pissed. Props to Amare for that block, it was awesome.

Sorry fella, but the contact with the ball was initiated outside of the cylinder.



Yes, it's true that Duncan's momentum carried Amare's wrist over the cylinder, but what starts out as a clean block, CANNOT end up as goal-tending.

That block killed me, but was a really good block

I admit I only read half of this ridiculously banal post, but Im wondering,

Is it a goaltend if someone stuffs a shot? I mean, they are still in the act of shooting

Probably why you should have read the rest of the post before posting your banal question.

I can't beleive people are whining about that play. That was simply a monster block by Amare. If your a true basketball fan, you give credit where credit is due. I'm a basketball fan first...a Spurs fan second. That block was awesome.

Hate to admit but it was a good block. Just came at a bad time for us. The fact is the SPurs should have been kicking their butts from the first second they came out. They couldn't shoot and I thought a few seemed a bit tired. Who cares if Amare blocked it....we played a crappy game. Simple as that. We'll kill um tomorrow. America West IS Timmy's other fave arena!

Just a good block. Admit it move on and win Game 5

It was an awesome play. Had the refs called anything on that even I would have had issues with it, as much as I wanted the Spurs to win.

Amare brought it last night, plain and simple.

Duncan should have went up with two hands.
