What Paulus did was not a typical defensive basketball move. That could have potentially put Danny's safety in jeapordy. I remember a technical foul that Maktar Ndiaye received one time when Battie was backing him down. He pulled the chair right out from under him (you know when the offensive guy bumps you while he's backing you down so he knows where you're positioned. To me, what Maktar did was more of a defensive basketball move than what Paulus did. I know, I know, Makhtar throwing the ball is what got him the T, but that foul should have never been called, and I think that the no call was fitting for Danny Green, but however, they did reserve the right as an official to call that foul on Paulus, but didn't.

For all the Dook fans who still claim it was a charge, 1) Paulus was already falling under the basket before Danny made contact, and 2) he raised his arm to ward-off what he saw coming at his face which is a defensive posture and is not supposed to happen in a true charge. The Washington thing is just too funny. Now that was a full face-shot for Paulus of Washington's "twig & Berries"! Can’t get enough of the “tea-bag” dunk.
