    They didn't miss it. They ignored it.

    Said months ago Butler is a flat out bad person. Nothing surprising about this.

    Aldridge's right foot was still in bounds. His left was in the air. That is a legal save.

    They are all disturbing. Look behind the smiles of those cheerleaders...they are not comfortable at all.

    Nah, his foot's pretty clearly down at this point, as he's touching the ball.

    Black and white calls are the easiest to make.

    In or out?

    How about WAY THE FUCK OUT???

    To me, that's a disservice to the game not to call that...

    It was to fast to see it clearly in the video. Yeah it looks like his foot is down in that still. Not nearly as bad as Durant's though, I could see how it could get missed. Durant's no way.

    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay the fuck out! Not even disputable. A terrible disservice to the game. That noncall goes to show how much bias and favoritism there is in the NBA.

    Go a few frames after that. His foot doesn't land in that spot.

    His foot looks down. Is it just the frame?

    I wouldn't say that. You don't really know why they missed it. Favoritism is an assumption.

    That frame isn't where his foot landed.

    It is unmissable. They only reason can be is that it was purposely missed to give the Warriors a chance to win. I went back and rewatched. Not 1 but 2 refs were looking right at him when it happened.

    He is still in the air there? In the video it appeared he landed after saving the ball. That frame though.

    Yeah, it was. .1 second later, foot in the same spot.

    upload_2019-1-4_14-6-28.png

    If his foot "hadn't landed yet", it would have moved by this point. He was out before he touched the ball. Watch it at 1/4 speed. there is no mistaking it.

    Obviously not anywhere close to as bad as the Durant one from last night, but Aldridge was conclusively out.

    that

    Yes. Watch the video and see where his foot lands. It's not that spot.

    Now, I'm not saying he didn't have his foot down with the ball, just not at that spot.
