    That was seriously some shades of G6 of the Lakers-Kings series.

    Absolutely. It was criminal. It started with the phantom foul sending Durant to the line and ended with the phantom foul sending Westbrook to the line. What happened in between was just as bad.

    League apology forthcoming? Doubtful.

    I was really annoyed by that "clear path" foul at the end of the 1st. That shouldn't have even been a foul, let alone a clear path. But all that other stuff at the end was pretty messed up too. Here's a fun read.

    No question they did - but how low of a basketball IQ does that team have collectively to have even been in position to lose that game? Good lord - CP3 was flat terrible down the stretch! Bailing Westbrook out on that horrible pullup from three was just the icing on the cake.

    I hate the OKC Thunder moreso than the Clips. But holy shit, the Clips got fucked in the ass by the refs on TWO back to back calls during the last 60 seconds of the game.

    Holy shit- I couldn't believe it.

    Yes, and btw, CP3 got hacked on the arm on the last play - that's why he coughed the ball up.

    They got robbed.

    It amazes me that some of you are still surprised when shit like this happens. The NBA wants the Durant/LeBron finals matchup.

    Chris Paul hit Westbrook on the elbow. It was a foul.

    That one was questionable. I honestly didn't see much contact, but the out of bounds play before that was highway robbery and that means Westbrookie shouldn't have had the shot.

    Doc Rivers himself said the team "stopped playing" with 3 min left in the game and made several mistakes that cost them the game. They shouldnt have put themselves in the situation to lose it the way they did.

    Yea, The Clips screwed themselves. Never seen CP3 so dejected as he was in the presser after the game. Massive Fail.

    Agreed. The Clips choked. But the refs hands around their throats didn't help matters. And it tarnishes the game.

    No they didn't.

    Rule 8 II
    If a player has his hand in contact with the ball and an opponent hits the hand causing the ball to go out-of-bounds, the team whose player had his hand on the ball will retain possession.

    Thunder ball

    The issue wasn't the the call was wrong, the issue was the explanation. It wasn't inconclusive. They got the call right though
