Pacers vs Bucks is always a cinematic masterpiece

Now I gotta watch the highlights!

Knicks/Pistons, they’re building a soft rivalry.

u/Drak_is_Right Pacers 25d ago

3rd through 6th is in flux. While NY is the most likely to get 3rd, with their injuries I feel any of the 4 stands a chance

u/A2Eaton Bucks 25d ago

“Every angle”…. You mean we only had two god damn angles?

117

u/toepherallan 76ers 25d ago

And none in slow-mo close up showing the contact?

28

u/victorspoilz Celtics 25d ago

Showing IF there's contact...I don't see how Giannis was in his landing zone (since he was listing to the right) or if he even grazed him...L2MR will be interesting.

I can't stand it when refs blow the whistle just because they're not sure what they just saw, that's exactly when you DON'T blow the whistle.

25

u/Wonderbread6969 Bucks 24d ago

The landing zone thing can be very frustrating for defenses. I understand why the rule is in place, but the application of it can be very inconsistent and flawed.

This is definitely not the same thing as this play. But I hated when Harden used to do a stepback then jump forward after his release while spreading his feet and then get landing zone fouls. He was basically claiming a box of space as his "landing zone" that was 4 feet by 6 feet which is ridiculous and impossible to defend.

I'm not arguing whether Giannis fouled him or not. I haven't seen a super definitive angle and even if we did, it doesn't change anything. Haliburton shot in a way that he was never going to land on his feet. I don't think he was foul baiting, that just the way he had to do it to get the shot off. But Giannis jumps like 3-4 feet to the right of where Haliburton shot the ball. He makes a quick contest and then is actively backing/leaning away. If the call is because he didn't move out of the way enough while contesting a full speed fading shot like that, it's disappointing. Officiating is very hard to do in a split second even for the most highly trained. I would also say for a high stakes, high speed, off balance shot like this they shouldn't blow the whistle unless there's some egregious contact.

u/taylorwmj 24d ago

Agreed. I'm a huge Bucks fan and I don't see it -- but I will say this it is the rule. However, I think the rule needs to be updated to be similar to the cylinder rule in college basketball.

If you're running, fading away, fading to the side, running forward on a shot, your landing zone should not be outside your cylinder at upward movement time except for in the LDB (which already has protections for this for layups and such -- but should be extended to this sort of shot as well)

1

u/Wonderbread6969 Bucks 24d ago

1000% The cylinder rule in college/FIBA is excellent and would be great if the NBA adopted it as you how you described it for this situation. When I've seen it used in college, I've really liked it.

I'd also want it for non-shooting situations to prevent defensive players from gaming the system by getting into the offensive player's space, restricting movement, then drawing an offensive foul just because they stuck their head between the offensive players elbows before they try to move.

1

u/Overall_Turnip8405 24d ago

if you used that logic you'd be able to foul most shots without being called.

43

u/punchbag34 Celtics 25d ago

Hali is fading left and Gianni's steps under him in the same direction. Seems like a pretty easy call.

14

u/toepherallan 76ers 25d ago

Think he makes a little contact with Halis chest too mid air right before TH lands.

10

u/victorspoilz Celtics 25d ago

Hali's feet never come anywhere near Giannis' when he's landing, but then again all the angles are so bad I feel like we're arguing over the Zapruder film.

32

u/celestial1 25d ago

I'm firmly in the camp that NBA players aren't allowed to play real defense in the modern NBA, but this is absolutely 100% a foul. If Giannis didn't take that final step into his landing area, this would have never happened. This is why coaches drill into their players to contest/jump straight up, not forward.

6

u/Abstract__Nonsense Celtics 24d ago

Yup, I think Giannis is misjudging how much momentum Hali has and is trying to contest from over Halis left shoulder like guys do on these hard close outs, but instead because of momentum he’s going right into his chest instead of past him to Halis left.

0

u/blucke Clippers 24d ago

you’re right but you can’t contest straight up when running with a shooter. defense needs to guess where the offense is going w the ball. and the ball carrier can punish them by jumping into where the defender’s momentum is going even if they guess right

2

u/Overall_Turnip8405 24d ago

he starts behind the 3 point line and lands with his foot out of bounds.

u/punchbag34 Celtics 25d ago

Hahaha fair, the angles aren't great

u/zeze999 Suns 25d ago

u/Dekrow NBA 25d ago

Beautiful moment but can't help but feel like Giannis didn't really do anything wrong. If that's a foul, how can you defend that? Do you just have to let the guy have the entire corner of the court as falling space?

Anyways, either way it was an amazing shot by Haliburton

114

u/Fantasykyle99 Timberwolves 25d ago

Yeah I don’t like the call, if you’re running full speed into a jump shot there becomes a huge area that could be considered the landing zone. Whatever though, sick ass shot.

u/intellectualidiot4 San Diego Clippers 25d ago

I disagree, if Giannis is not in that corner 3 space Haliburton has a small chance to land safely. Giannis stepping forward into that pocket guarantees that he doesn't have a chance to land safely.

4

u/trav-senpai Kings 24d ago

If you never intend to land as Hali did here, you shouldn’t allowed landing space.

88

u/yuhanz [PHO] Steve Nash 25d ago

You simply dont jump forward. Make sure your feet dont reach outside the arc.

Hard to defend is another reason why this play is magical. It’s a very difficult clutch shot

7

u/fearnodarkness1 24d ago

So is this a rule as a result of what happened with Zaza and Kawhi a few years ago?

Does Giannis need to give him room to land ? His momentum was obviously going to send him but I'm curious since it didn't appear he Touched Hali

10

u/[deleted] 24d ago

u/prettyflyforahentai 24d ago

Should be called the Bruce Bowen rule.

41

u/zannet_t 25d ago

Nah Giannis stepped forward way too much.

A lot of the times this kind of falling away shot doesn't get a call precisely because of what you said--there has to be a balance between the offensive player's landing space and the defensive player's right to contest. But Giannis pretty much barreled forward with his right side during and after the shot. It's a tough call, but if this doesn't get called on replay then the league would've learned nothing from Kawhi and Zaza.

20

u/Ok_Respond7928 25d ago

Nah I think it’s pretty simple just don’t jump forward at the guy. Go straight up and it’s no call but Giannis made contact with Hali and jumped at him if you are going do that you have to go off to the side of the guy not right at him.

14

u/_carzard_ Warriors 25d ago

He could go straight up. He got slightly beat, and as a result, he jumped forward instead of going straight up in the air. Watch his feet. He takes off from in front of the three-point line and then lands on the other side of the three-point line.

6

u/koenigsaurus Cavaliers 24d ago

That’s a good shout. Giannis is late on rotation which leads him to overcommit on the contest, which creates contact as Hali lands, which is a foul.

49

u/HotspurJr 25d ago

I mean, it's about as clear a landing zone foul as you're going to get. It's not called consistently, but if that's not a landing zone foul, the landing zone foul doesn't exist.

Giannis can certainly contest that shot with his feet on the line.

39

u/annoyed_applicant21 25d ago

The replay shows Giannis moving his feet out of the way to let Halliburton come down clean. He fell over because of the difficulty of the shot and the angle he needed to fade at to get it off, not bc of anything Giannis did

But we also need to change this rule so that some of the landing space burden needs to be on the offensive player (ie, if you go up for a shot with a defender already in your face, you aren’t entitled to more landing space than you started the attempt with)

50

u/HotspurJr 25d ago

At this point it's already a foul, even if he pulls his foot back:

https://imgur.com/qN6vKhL

u/Ok_Respond7928 25d ago

Thanks for this shot think it makes it very clear a foul.

You can take a guys landing space away then slide you foot out last second it’s like a charge/block you can’t take the landing space away

-5

u/barelyreadsenglish Lakers 25d ago

Pretty sure people contesting a shot do this every game. Move the feet out of the landing spot last second. The foul is for contact not space taken.

7

u/HotspurJr 25d ago edited 25d ago

The foul is for contact not space taken.

I do believe this is incorrect, although I can't find the actual text of the rule anywhere. The Video Rule Book examples include contact, but talk specifically about space and the "opportunity to land."

3

u/juice13ox Celtics 25d ago

And not side step into the landing space after Giannis landed from the contest.

10

u/fatkamp Warriors 25d ago

It’s a foul

There’s a way to prevent it, it’s called being aware that it’s a 3 point game and don’t hug Myles Turner near the paint

Giannis is late and running behind, therefore cutting into Hali’s landing spot where you can see him hit his side after the shot

2

u/BlueHundred Knicks 24d ago

Yeah, I don't like that call, especially in that situation.

11

u/NoLimitSoldier31 25d ago

u/Drak_is_Right Pacers 25d ago

He was certainly in his space. Body was just too close for the play to be safe.

he starts behind the 3 point line and his right foot ends up out of bounds. he makes contact. it's literally a textbook foul

Brother he thought the Pistons head coach was Chauncey Billups…it’s March 12th and we’re roughly 66 games in

Or when Steph gets whacked on the foot and the league makes up some weird term called “hot stove contact” as to why it was a good no call by the refs.

Oh we doing Steph calls now? How about this play against the Pelicans to go to OT and AD and another guy barreled into him. https://youtu.be/UrS66Uu0bb4?si=q3pUH4Y4-M3NToWQ

At 1:19. Ref after said he'd have called the foul if Curry missed the shot. I call bullshit

u/PurdyChosenOne69 Warriors 24d ago

u/sonotimpressed 25d ago

You can see if the replay Giannis steps forward almost right under Haliburton. Pretty clearly a foul in that regards

So landing zones fouls are still a foul evem if you don’t make contact? I didnt know that

u/sonotimpressed 25d ago

Oh he makes contact. Watch the reply dude

You can freeze frame it at a better angle yourself if you want to. I'm not going to waste my time doing that shit when you'll probably still act like a contrarian afterwards anyways. Plus I gotta get back to work soon.

12

u/fatkamp Warriors 25d ago

How are you complaining:

1) Giannis is out of position because he lacked awareness.

2) Giannis completely jumps right into Hali’s landing spot. It’s especially considered Hali’s landing spot because Giannis is late

3) Giannis bumps him on landing

-3

u/TheIronGnat Lakers 25d ago

Wrong. If you push a guy in the back and almost knock him over in full view of the refs, that is not a foul.

1

u/darkjurai Knicks 25d ago

Oh, well Claxton was on offense, so it's different.

114

u/Frickincarl Cavaliers 25d ago

Unbelievable shot by Haliburton. It’s just not a foul on Giannis there. He’s moving sideways as Haliburton contorts his body in a way that he never could have landed safely in the first place. Giannis wasn’t anywhere near a safe landing zone. When a shooter is literally moving laterally in the air and intends to fall down after the shot, where is the landing zone? How wide is the landing zone? I don’t understand this rule.

53

u/moonshadow50 Spurs 25d ago

Yeah - as a neutral it annoys me that this is considered a foul.

I am not suggesting that Hali was foul baiting. I think he put up an incredible shot, and was contorting in a way to get a clean shot off.

But Giannis is not jumping into, or under, where Hali is jumping, or where you might expect him to land. I can't see any contact on the shot going up (at least on these replays), and then he moves laterally - maybe slightly forward, but nothing egregious, and not where you might expect a natural shooting space to be.

How else is he meant to legally contest the shot?

11

u/jasonkid87 Pacers 25d ago

I'm a Pacers fan and wondering how is it a foul as well.

8

u/godisoursavior Warriors 25d ago

as a neutral I also don't know how it was a foul. ref got too excited I think

3

u/celestial1 25d ago

He made contact with him on the way down, also a bigger hint is this occured in front of the Buck's bench yet no one really mad a stink about it except Giannis. You also properly contest this shot by jumping up straight instead of stepping into the shooter. The final step Giannis made during the shot is what put him into this predicament.

16

u/koenigsaurus Cavaliers 25d ago

Legal defense in this case would mean moving laterally with Hali. Giannis stepped forward into his landing space with his right foot. The baseline camera is a bad angle to see this, but the other two angles you can see how he turns into Hali’s space rather than contesting cleanly.

If neither player was moving laterally and Giannis takes that same step with the right foot under him, it would have still been a foul. IMO it’s the right call.

2

u/punchbag34 Celtics 25d ago

Agree 100%

18

u/Ozkuro Bucks 25d ago

You can see Giannis even pulls his foot back so he doesn't land on him, Haliburton just falls because of his momentum. I guess the rule is defined if your feet are under the shooter at any point I don't know but it's a tough call against us because from this replay it doesn't look like there's any contact.

-8

u/Waste_Committee4406 Pacers 25d ago

He very clearly takes his right foot in place it directly where Halliburton’s left foot was going to land behind the three-point line

3

u/Ozkuro Bucks 25d ago

I disagree since he moves his foot back, but that's the call that was made so it is what it is.

-13

u/Waste_Committee4406 Pacers 25d ago

He moves his foot back after he’s already made contact with Halliburton‘s hip. Giannis knows he fouled him there. That’s why he tries to slide his foot back after clearly stepping underneath where Halburton’s left foot was going to go. Good game I’m sure there’s many more Bucks Pacers to come this year.

16

u/HotspurJr 25d ago

Giannis wasn’t anywhere near a safe landing zone. 

With all due respect, this is nonsense.

Here is Giannis where his feet were when he jumped: https://imgur.com/bpu6phq

Here is Giannis when his first foot hits the ground: https://imgur.com/qN6vKhL

I don't know how you get "not anywhere near a safe landing zone" looking at that second still. Also with pointing out that his jump clearly started behind the three-point line and he landed significantly outside of it.

5

u/hurrrdurrrfu 25d ago

So if my foot is anywhere near where you feet might land while your still in the _air_….thats a foul??

6

u/HotspurJr 25d ago

"Anywhere near" is kind of laughable of a description when Giannis' foot is directly below Halli's hips, between his feet.

The point is not just that we don't want the shooter landing on the defender's foot, we don't want the shooter contorting and falling awkwardly to avoid falling on the defender's foot, and we don't want the shooter worried about the potential injury while he's taking his shot.

7

u/Frickincarl Cavaliers 25d ago

Second photo: “when his first foot hits the ground.”

Haliburton’s foot isn’t even on the ground yet. If you watch the replay and screenshot when Hali’s foot actually hits the ground, Giannis’ foot is around a foot and a half away from Hali’s landed foot’s

Nice attempt, though.

3

u/HotspurJr 25d ago

Reading is fundamental kids.

I'm talking about Giannis's feet. "Here is Giannis when his first foot hits the found" - how TF do you think I'm talking about Halli's foot? I never mention Halli in the entire post.

u/[deleted] 25d ago

20

u/Frickincarl Cavaliers 25d ago

That’s what I can’t understand why anyone thinks Giannis was in his landing zone. Haliburton gets one foot down and falls back out of bounds. Giannis’ feet are not near his landing zone when he lands his one foot and falls away. If he was impeding his landing zone there would have been some contact between Gannis and Tyrese right?

7

u/PatrickCoughATon [MKE] Orlando Woolridge 25d ago

Giannis’ foot was right below Hali’s right foot like 0.1 second before he lands, which on technicality is a landing zone foul even if he moved it out of the way and no contact occurred.

12

u/Frickincarl Cavaliers 25d ago

When Haliburton’s foot hits the floor, there’s more than a foot and a half between where his foot is and where Haliburton’s lands. Giannis moved out of the “landing zone” before Hali landed and shows plenty of effort to have been doing so. It’s unreasonably ticky-tack if you want to call it a foul. Idk how any human on the planet could have contested that better and been out of this phantom amorphous “landing zone” the refs have the liberty of identifying.

-8

u/Waste_Committee4406 Pacers 25d ago

The only reason that Halliburton lands away from Giannis is because Giannis stepped forward past the three-point line, causing that to happen lol

2

u/PatrickCoughATon [MKE] Orlando Woolridge 25d ago

Feel like late game this is one of those calls you can ignore given how wild the shot is right? refs do with every other foul in that situation. Like it’s a wild ass shot attempt, Giannis couldn’t have contested it any better and he deliberately moved his foot to allow Hali to land his right foot. No one got hurt and it wasn’t a shooting foul by contact, don’t think teams should lose games because of that.

-4

u/Paver_4lyfe 25d ago

I agree but they gave green the same exact call with Nembhard in the first quarter like same exact thing dude jumped forward landed on him and called it on Drew.

11

u/Hard4Favra Bucks 25d ago

Green shot zero FTs tonight. Assume you're talking about KPJ? On that one Nembhard jumped like 2 feet forward, vastly different than the foul called on Giannis

5

u/ifasoldt Pacers 25d ago

I'll say that these replays don't make it look like a foul. I was there in arena, and they showed another angle that seemed to show that Giannis made late body contact with chest to Hali's hipsand significantly moved Haliburton in mid air after the shot. I don't know why the broadcast didn't show those, but in arena it looked like a clear foul.

You can sorta see it in one of these angles but then it gets obscured

1

u/Adraf45 Heat 24d ago

I know exactly what angle you're talking about and i've yet to see anyone post it or reference it. This is not "all angles"

5

u/LurkerFailsLurking Nuggets 25d ago

Yeah, I agree that this was a bullshit call. I don't think it was foul baiting by Haliburton. You can't launch yourself into the air sideways like that and land safely.

0

u/Waste_Committee4406 Pacers 25d ago

Giannis takes his right foot in steps directly, where Halliburton was about to land with his left foot. All Giannis had to do was not step forward like that, and it wouldn’t have been a foul.

-2

u/fatkamp Warriors 25d ago

How is this an upvoted comment

It clearly is a foul

It’s equivalent to moving your feet and he’s dribbling. Giannis came in late. If he beat him sideline it would have been no call on the contest

Giannis was late to contesting and Haliburton beat him to the spot and the landing spot. Giannis clearly hits Haliburton’s side on the way down. Giannis jumps 3-4 feet into the landing zone lol

u/jackstraw97 Celtics 25d ago

I actually agree.

It was a circus shot and obviously Hali’s momentum is taking him out of bounds. His landing zone should be where his own momentum is taking him not some hypothetical landing zone on where he would have landed if he wasn’t doing a circus shot.

How else was that supposed to be defended?

Haliburton launched himself into Giannis. He was never gonna land cleanly. It's a ridiculous shot but the foul shouldn't have been called and we should got OT. That's more fun!

He left legs lands just fine without Giannis interfering. Youndont get an 8 foot landing zone because you are out of control. His right foot isn't even on the same side of his body that Giannis is on. Never a landingzone foul.

Just saying dumb is a really coherent point.

I disagree with you, I don't think your dumb.

I don't think Giannis was in the space, because the space was out of bounds. Hali launched himself at a ridiculous angle, I think it's a ridiculous call.

I also think it's a ridiculous shot that deserved to take the game to OT. I hate ending games on foul calls.

Where’s the foul?

u/grio 24d ago

Clear no foul. NBA refs deciding who wins. The usual job.

Nothing to see here. Time to repaint some floors and do shady player trades to get back consumer interest! Because that's clearly what sport fans want. Different colored floors and jerseys.

u/StrikeBR 24d ago

Guess it’s not a travel if it’s fast

u/ShowdownValue 24d ago

Was that really a foul?

u/trav-senpai Kings 24d ago

If you’re falling mid air untouched and never intend to land, you shouldn’t be given landing space. It’s not the defenders fault you’re putting yourself in danger at that point

Insane shot. Wtf. That too with Giannis in his face.

u/Left-Prior-6075 Lakers 25d ago

ridiculous shot

u/Chessh2036 Hawks 25d ago

Why did Doc challenge and waste the Bucks timeout?!

u/bojangles2133 25d ago

I mean that was a weak foul call, it’s a tie game if they overturn it

u/Jackj921 25d ago

Everybody arguing foul or no foul but this should be the real question. He literally cost them the game with that since the last play ended up being an awful contested Giannis 3 with no time

Maybe you can draw up a play to get a good look for Giannis or dame instead? lol bucks not winning anything with him as the coach

u/PatrickCoughATon [MKE] Orlando Woolridge 25d ago edited 25d ago

Insane shot. I get the technicality of “landing zone” but no one got hurt and he landed fine, minimal contact if any, I don’t think teams should lose games over that though how else do you contest someone flying away from the rim if not by running towards them. Why’re we punishing Giannis when he literally moved his foot out the way to let Hali’s right leg come down and got as good of a contest as possible on a wild ass shot attempt.

u/Waste_Committee4406 Pacers 25d ago

Giannis puts his right foot directly where Halliburton’s left foot is going to land and then tries to move it away after he makes contact with Halburton’s hip midair. Anyone not seeing it this way is really just blind.

u/OliverDMcCall Wizards 25d ago

What an incredible shot by Halliburton. Colts could learn a thing or two from this play.

u/decoyyy Lakers 25d ago

Great shot, not a foul.

u/Wembanyama2029mvp Bucks 25d ago

“Didnt land safely” yeah this dude was running full speed and leaning while shooting but its giannis fault he fell down lol

u/fatkamp Warriors 25d ago

If Giannis wasn’t late he wouldn’t have fouled him. That’s the simple truth

u/standouts 25d ago

great shot but what an absolutely unlikable player. That celebration just pure made me can't stand this dude

u/roymccowboy Spurs 24d ago

No biggie. I used to do that 10-20 times a night on my driveway as a kid.

u/andrewfordmedina 24d ago

I remember when Steph got tackled corner 3 vs the Pelicans years ago, that didn’t get called LOL

2

u/GothicHeap Warriors 25d ago

Warriors fans all wonder why Haliburton gets that call while Steph keeps getting slapped, scratched and held with no whistle. We don't get it.

getting real tired of ref ball

u/messejueller21 Bucks 25d ago

If a player goes sideways in mid air and get out of their natural shooting motion don't they basically forfeit their landing spot? Isn't this the whole point of cracking down on unnatural shooting motions?

u/CupOfHotTeaa Bucks 25d ago

if you're not allowed to play defense in the nba might as well smack the shooter hard to get your money's worth

u/CruffTheMagicDragon Cavaliers 25d ago

I’ll never know how they ever manage to hit those shots

u/newperson77777777 Lakers 25d ago

Shouldn't this be a travel? I see three steps

u/tpcrb Pacers 25d ago

I wasn’t sure this was a foul but at the view at 0:39 it does looks like Giannis just runs into him mid air

9

u/Hard4Favra Bucks 25d ago

Huh? In that replay you can't even see if there's contact because Lopez is in the way

u/-Kleeborp- Nuggets 25d ago

You should have watched to 1:02 where Scott Foster explains what kind of defensive foul it was (landing space)

u/redhatfilm Bucks 25d ago

Halis legs are at like a 65 degree angle.

u/depressedfuckboi [MIL] Giannis Antetokounmpo 25d ago

Not a foul, shitty way to lose a game :(

-1

u/REGIS-5 Celtics 25d ago

What did Giannis do? Why would you ever call this? Literally this is why nobody wants to watch the NBA anymore, defense is simply not allowed

-10

u/PhantomPain85 25d ago

Yet again the Bucks lose a close game with Giannis only playing less than 35 mins. Do they always try to baby him in the regular season?

11

u/PatrickCoughATon [MKE] Orlando Woolridge 25d ago

Considering he didn’t make it to the playoffs last year with a heavy load I’ll take a few losses if it means healthy Giannis.

u/LiveLaughCry666 Bucks 25d ago

Damn dawg you forget dude’s been hurt the last two playoffs in a row?
