  • These guys aren’t explaining the point of a block/charge which comes down to who gets to the spot first.

    Giannis is getting to the spot and going into his shooting motion before Tucker gets into the spot. Tucker needs to slide and move his feet to keep up with Giannis. If he does move with Giannis, Giannis just goes by him and this happens because Giannis is getting to each spot before Tucker. If Tucker was standing still and then Giannis “intentionally barreled” into him, then it would be an offensive foul because Tucker had the defensive position first.

    The reality is that the rule isn’t that great and most of these plays should just be no calls and be considered incidental contact when it’s just body-to-body.
