Two minute report clearly shows that Zion should have been called for an offensive foul, giving the Kings the chance to tie it up. Yes, I know that there were a million other ways we should have won that game, but I’m sensitive to bad reffing for historical reasons. Also, “marginal contact” apparently means two stitches, smh.

    I guess two stitches in Sabonis’s lip is deemed marginal by the wimpy fat dude preparing the two minute report.

      “Contact to an opponent’s head/face can be deemed marginal when the result of a natural basketball move, provided the contact is not disproportionate or uncontrolled.”

      Sounds accurate to me. I guess random guy on Reddit doesn’t know the rules more than the wimpy fat guy preparing the two minute report.

        Again blessing the use of your off hand to slam into someone’s face going up for a contest is not the purpose of the rule.

        But it’s not normal movement, when I go up on a Eurostep, there are certain natural movements and there are obvious “gtfo of my way movements.” The latter are patently unacceptable.
