electricrelish Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 According to the N.B.A. rulebook, if a player intentionally shoots at the opponent’s basket, it results in a turnover, but no points. (The rules do allow for accidental tip-ins.) It’s spelled out in Rule 5, Section 1e: “It is a violation for a player to attempt a field goal at an opponent’s basket. The opposing team will be awarded the ball at the free-throw line extended.” Robinson’s shot -– a 3-point try that swished — was immediately irrelevant because he released it after the buzzer sounded to end the first quarter.

In soccer and hockey aren't you shooting at "the opponent's goal"? And in football you're trying to get the ball in the opponent's endzone.

isleseeya Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Knicks still have a team? Well they have like 9 tall guys who show up at the garden , put on uniforms that say Knicks , go out and normally lose , and then go back to the locker room and chant "lebron James in 2010 , Lebron James in 2010 " over and over Edited November 25, 2009 by isleseeya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Knicks still have a team? Not a respectable one, they almost missed the game in LA last night. They were "stuck" in traffic and showed up only hr before game tiem which barely gave them enough time to settle in and go play. This organization is a joke.

In every sport I can think of, the goal you're defending is "yours". Why is basketball different? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big John Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. In every sport I can think of, the goal you're defending is "yours". Why is basketball different? I am thinking that basketball is more based on offense and high scoring and the rules are setup to encourage that, such as no goaltending for instance. So it may be that your goal is to put the ball in it rather than to defend your goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
