Denver Nuggets News

Denver Nuggets in their last 10 games WITH Jokic: 4-6 Denver Nuggets in their last 16 games WITHOUT Jokic: 10-6 MVP?

The goaltend rule in the NBA rulebook is almost the same as the FIBA rulebook below. So as long as the hand thru the rim doesn't touch the ball, and the rim isn't moving enough to cause the ball to take an unnatural bounce, it's not a goaltend.

So it's possible the explanation wasn't completely clear, or maybe JJ was distracted and missed some of the key details of the rule. The rim was not moving by the time the shot got there. The hand was also not in the rim by the time the shot got there. Play on.

These players are at risk of missing NBA awards under the 65-game rule: -- Jokic: 1 more missed game -- Booker: 3 more missed games -- Wemby: 4 more missed games -- Luka: 5 more missed games -- SGA: 6 more missed games -- Ant: 7 more missed games LeBron, Steph, and Giannis are

This was controversial for the lakers bench as JJ got a tech arguing, but just because the defender's hand enters the rim doesn't automatically make it a goaltend. Because it happened well before the ball was at or on the rim, and rim didn't vibrate, it's a play on.

The issue. when a player is so confused they don't know what the play is, lies solely on the coach, in my opinion.
