Any action that hinders the defender's ability to catch the ball, pushing off to create separation, or blocking downfield while the ball is in play are all easy PI criteria. Kmet is "engaged" with Durant while the ball is in the air and extends his arms to make space to make a play on the ball. By the book that's for sure PI. BUT you're never gonna get that sort of call. The refs are always going to swallow the whistle in these situations. It's the playoffs, it's the 4th quarter, the game is on the line, AND it's Chicago with the ball IN Chicago. For all intents and purposes it's a Hail Mary situation and there's both OPI and DPI on every single Hail Mary play ever lol. Can you imagine the outrage if they HAD called OPI there? By the book it's PI (and if it happened at midfield in the 2nd quarter you'd expect it to be called every time) but ultimately the NFL values entertainment and "moments" more than 100% precise application of the rules every time</blockquote>
