About .45seconds by my slow motion calculations, which is technically enough given the way refs call how long people have been there to enable the charge to be called, however, no way they'd call that on Lebron, and at LeMiami. No long shot being beyond you either being a Heat fan.

LOL well judging by Rondo's reaction it seems like he didn't even think the call was likely. And I don't think it was obvious anyway, it's a 50/50 call most of the time so don't act so hard done by. I've seen plenty of more obvious charges which have been called as blocking fouls instead (particularly on drives to the rim). This one wasn't very clear...
Interesting for future reference. The NBA rulebook says: "For most other cases, the defender must get into position and allow enough distance for the offensive player to stop and/or change direction."
That's the criteria for a charge to be called if the player isn't shooting or rising to shoot/finish at the rim. Based off that I wouldn't say Rondo allowed enough distance for James to stop or change direction, especially when running at full speed.

I would say he did allow enough space and time but as you say 50/50 most of the time and 10/90 on someone else's home floor. Good attempt IMO
Before I comment, I'm cheering from the Celt's corner, but that don't affect my view at all..
Moving on, at the time I yelled my head off at the no-call, thought it was clearly a charge (excepting geographical details). Given Jimbo's clarification, I don't think Rondo did give TheDecision enough distance to stop or change direction, but it was still the right play for Rondo to attempt. So maybe it wasn't a charge, but it's gotta be a call either way. The one thing it definitely wasn't is a flop.
PS. Celtics 4-2 go go!

I think it was a good effort for rondo to get in his way lebron is a monster I wouldn't try take a charge from him
I don't think it was a flop I thought charge when I watched it
But I also think the call rondo got at the end of the quarter looked as though the defender had his back turned
And rondo jump into him lol IMO anyways.

Bahhh...... either put one of the students in charge of the class & load up ol' league pass or give em a free period.
Floppity flop flop flop. The first angle makes it look like Rondo got knocked over, but study the other two angles especially the last one, and you'll see Lebron spins away from Rondo and he just falls to the ground. That's why there was no call and that's why not a single Celtic, and not ROOooooOOOOOOOoooONDO especially were complaining in the least. They knew it was the right call and you KNOW Pierce would be yapping his mouth off if it were a busted call.

I did watch the replays and I'm stickin with no flop. Only thing I didn't check was the score at that point, was it even worth complaining? Not so sure Pierce would have cause he may have got 2 techs in a row for saying boo like last BS tech

Nope, no foul there, jumped in to him and took advantage of the guy bein so close. Good on him for using the rule book, he's good at it, see back at that time when he went over to the other teams huddle (Heat wasn't it?) and got them all confused over what was going on and whether it was allowed or not

Yeah fair call. I think he allowed just enough time for LeBron to do the spin, if he allowed more time LeBron would have crossed over or completely changed direction to avoid him. I think if LeBron had collided with him they would have called a block, but since LeBron spinned out of it they didn't call anything because there was a wide open lane to the basket.
Interesting thought though, had LeBron not spinned out of the contact, it would have been a call for sure. Block or charge?
