    I thought Affalo was fouled. He didn't jump into the defender, the defender jumped towards him and the contact was significant.

    I agree with the no-call. A lot of NBA players are doing the head-fake or otherwise drawing the defender to jump to try and block (what the D thinks is) a shot attempt. The ones out near the 3-pt line (you know the ones) are usually pretty obvious in that the defender jumps straight into the path of the ball handler/carrier/shooter. With the Afflalo play, it looks like the defender is jumping to the side and Aaron changes his course so that he initiates contact.

    Is it a strict foul by strict rule? Could be, I mean you do have a defender with no legal guarding position and contact between an offensive player in control and the D. On the other hand, O causes contact by diverting course intentionally (as evidenced by the above fact that O is in control), so a no-call preserves flow and just looks right.
