elbow contact on an arm can swivel a player different than elbow to wrist when you're when you're warding off but he uses his body to go through that and so the poor guy is unfortunate he doesn't have the strength so he kind of flops back but i don't see lebron really going elbow to wrist to clear space he just clears face because he's body powerful and he does it with his shoulders okay fair enough well let's move on to a couple calls that we need to look at that are related to the new emphasis on how they're adjudicating uh you know building the ref the defender into them while they're shooting so lebron again uh it was playing against the sons and he tries the quick release three-point shot uh with uh mikhail bridges all over him no call here what do you think about this one well this one goes along with the new guideline and the new definition of seeking out a defender that is really not in your path so you can draw a shooting foul and and by the way it's most noticeable and it became an issue on the perimeter we have a lot of these plays going to the hoop where the body is altered to gain an allura fowl to laura fowl but in on the perimeter this has been an emphasis just like the rip through on the perimeter it was an emphasis this is a form of an extension like of the rip through rules where now you're stepping into the path of a defender trying to draw a foul and uh specifically to try to get a bump and this is unfair now i'm sure there's people out here that say uh it's a pretty clever move by an offensive player to do that because the defender can't stop but in today's game they find this being a irritant to the game and uh and they're saying if it happens like that this bump that uh obviously lebron got uh they deemed this marginal well right because here's the thing you have three ways to call this either defensive foul offensive file or no call and the no call which is what happened here tends to be on when the contact is marginal hard to believe that you consider this marginal when bridge's chin gets nailed like that do you feel like lebron had any kind of uh vector going to his left on this shot or do you feel like he was sort of in his cylinder going sort of straight up you know this this is a tweener play and uh you know there's partially going in and it's partially obviously going up and and and seeking out possibly contact to get a player who's chasing him a rhythmically arrhythmically not able to stop so uh now i think you just have to really view do i have enough contact here or don't i and i think you kind of don't have it but i tell you what this is a hard play if this was in the finals the last shot of a game to win or to tie or what have you and so i think a lot of this defined plays are going to take time to really detail uh when people are out of bounds and when the play is inbound so to speak this is going to be a a
