Blakes dunk on Gasol was not an Offensive Foul

[SavageMode]

Get over it. Maybe if Pau was standing still in front of Griffin and not jumping into Blake while he was already in the air mid-dunk. Learn the rules.

Pau jumped into his elbow.

u better go watch it

[PickernRoller]

Please turn back, bend over, a bit more to the right, ok, zipper down....."offensive foul"

[Scholar]

Looks like somebody didn't watch the clip.

[TylerOO]

Either way Pau got bitched

[Crown&Coke]

I thought the first dunk was an over the back

second dunk, he used his forearm to rock the defender, offensive foul

[sagr32]

How could he have jumped into his elbow if Griffin clearly extended his left arm out. Don't get me wrong it was a great dunk and I really didn't want it called an offensive foul but it technically was.

Is this a bad attempt to troll?

According the the nba's rules and regulations:

When a player seeks out an opponent and throws an elbow which makes any contact above the shoulders, a Flagrant Foul Penalty 2 will be assessed.

I don't think he was intentionally trying to harm Pau. But it's pretty clear he lead with a forearm/elbow and made contact with Gasol in the head.

SavageMode, just shut up and let us charish this dance.

it was all incidental contact. Blake's dunking motion when he goes for the tomahawk slam, he has to lead with his left forearm going down. and Pau was was in the wrong place at the wrong time. its a clear blocking foul before the 'offensive foul' happened. if it was an offensive foul in the first place.

he didnt really "seek out the opponent", it was all contact due to the dunking motion. frankly, the call on perkins dropping his arms/hand down on wade was also a shitty overcall by the refs.

...Offensive foul in the actual rules of basketball:

...Yet here you are arguing that this isn't:

It's not even a mere offensive foul, it's a flagrant foul

That's bullshit and you know it, Blake is the biggest tool in the NBA, he gets away with murder on offense and cries like he just got molested on defense. He didn't tuck that elbow for a reason. You don't incidentally keep your elbow swung out 90 degrees - pointed at the defenders face - to dunk, in fact, you used to have to keep it down because otherwise it was once considered an OFFENSIVE FOUL

[Godzuki]

man thats the first time i saw the replay. Pau definitely got fouled since Blake basically blocked Gasols block, but if they didn't call it its legit. it made that dunk even worse for Gasol imo, like he muscled him, then dunked on him

[VeeCee15]

Definately an offensive foul...Blake uses the same move everytime he goes up against a defender cause he's a poosy but then he gets teh and1 WTF.

I used to like Blake lol..but all his dunk ons are the same. He either uses his offarm to push off or punch defender OR he gets up higher cause he lifts himself up off of the other player.

That and he flops like a moron.

Serioulsy i'm getting sick of T-rex.

[get these NETS]

when has the rule book mattered when it came to star players?


Shaq offensive-fouled his way to a three peat

everybody saw it....refs said nothing
