Is it just me who thinks that the NBA should change the rule, that if you choose to move the ball to the forecourt after a late timeout, that you should not be able to inbound the ball into the backcourt? Not just sour grapes about last night, but have often thought about this. It makes no sense! UVharvey
It's about getting the offensive team space because often the defensive team can completely shut down any chance of inbounding the ball to make a good play. If they inbound in the back-court that team can create a buffer to spread the floor and make a play happen. joecooler2u
