Title: Video of Bradley taking charge vs. Crawford
Post by: Smitty77 on February 03, 2013, 06:02:14 PM
Would someone please find me a link to the video of Avery taking the charge vs. Crawford?  I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!

I am so saddened that the NBA is SO DUMBED DOWN that the didn't make the highlights.  That play was JUST as IMPORTANT as PP hitting that three.  Amazing how defense rarely gets recognized.

Is there anyone in the league that D's up like Avery?? ANYONE???  IMHO, there is NOT!!

I know it helped us, but I like the game of real b-ball. And that was a FLOP

This league is full of floppers anyway. Might as well take advantage on it.

If he didn't flop Bradley would have been the one called for the foul.

That was not a flop!!!  Crawford lowered the shoulder into his chest to create space for the shot.  I guess you thought that there wasn't pass interference uncalled on 4th down at the 5 yard line with under 2 minutes to go in the Super Bowl either?????:-))))

P.S.  I would love someone to provide me with that link please.

+1

Crawford used his shoulder to clear out space, Bradley had to sell it or Craword gets away with the offensive foul.

Refs don't give you the call unless you hit the floor.

Might be on the highlight reel only because it would be news of Bradley getting fined for a flop.

Yeah he got bumped in the chest and he sold the flop perfectly so it didnt look like a flop. Make up call for the rest of the days terrible officiating.

Yep.

I wasn't a fan of the officiating all game but I give the refs major props for calling it.

If you sell a flop perfectly so that it does not look like a flop, is it still a flop?

No one has ever taken a charge without flopping.

It's what "taking a charge" IS- (1) set your feet, (2) stand up straight so your center of gravity is high and back, (3) offer no resistance whatsoever, (4) hope the guy knocks you over.

Not sure what people are looking at.  Flop?  Try standing up straight and having someone hit you in the chest with their shoulder, especially when your center of gravity is off because you're shuffling your feet every other nano-second.  Stop throwing the word flop around.  Save it for actual flops.
