They call that forearm when a guy is going to the basket(without being blocked,) and a defender is guarding him(not blocking him.) It's called when someone is trying to get more room against a defender who's legally guarding him. Tonite, this was a block, and a forearm. Why has Gasol turned his body sideways? It's because he's illegally blocked by someone who is not in that spot soon enough to own that spot. He's not there soon enough. So, he must give ground, or it's a blocking foul. He's blocking him. So, Gasol has to turn sideways, or they will hit heads. If no block, then no forearm. The forearm is put out to protect the ball from someone illegally blocking him. He didn't use the forearm to gain room from someone guarding him legally. He did it because he's been turned sideways by an illegal block, and he's protecting the ball. In that situation, the block is what is normally called. People don't want it called in this situation ,because
1)It's the 6th foul on NENE.
and
2) Nene was close to having position( but he's clearly still moving.) Would of been an offensive foul if the defender wasn't blocking totally. He needs to give ground, but he's a retarded thug. So ,he thinks he has established position. He hasn't. He's moving. See, this is what people are ignoring about many of these Denver players(they simply aren't playing smart enough.) He ignores the rules, and complains on almost every call. He has had atleast 5 fouls each game. Not like he respects the rules on how to play defense.
