The foul call on Duncan w 13 seconds. Did not touch Chrissy Paul

[MultiTroll]

NBAs disrespect for Duncan / favoritism for such pussies as Paul.
Wow.

No body else outraged over that call?

Ya i know overall Pop-Porker predictably sank the ship for us.
But that farking call. We are tied 107-107 with the ball and a last shot for the win. Even one FT probably wins it.
OT at worst.

I pointed this out earlier. We should have been in position to win the game or miss and it goes to over time.

[Nathan89]

Terrible call. Refs just wanted to help them win the game. Nobody makes that call unless they want to help that team.

[razor247]

I thought about this...and now know this was bought and paid for and I have proof... Every commercial during timeouts featured Blake Griffin or Chris Paul.. Nothing with a Spur. Who do you think the NBA wants to win? Does the NBA benefit more if the Clippers win? You beat your house they do.....Does it make a feel good story if they win it all with the racism scandal? The NBA is going to make sure they has a a happy ending because of what has transpired throughout the year. The Spurs have theirs now the NBA needs their paycheck and Happy Ending...Mark my words this is bought and paid for...

[KaiRMD1]

Nah, I still put the loss more so on Porker than that call. Then there was the clock but either way, Porker fucked it up for us.

Most of the blame goes to Enrique, but that call was bad too.

[therealtruth]

Didn't like it but I understand it. Got to give room to land.

[sananspursfan21]

Even if it was a foul, the refs generally swallow their whistles that late. That's what pissed me off. You know they've let contact worse than that go in all the other games. Just disguisting. But as it's always said, one play doesn't win/lose a game. Spurs should have showed they wanted it a long time ago

[KaiRMD1]

Didn't the whistle come after he bricked it anyway?

[sananspursfan21]

Didn't the whistle come after he bricked it anyway?

It was a late whistle. Just can't seem to come up with enough reasons to be pissed/depressed

[Malik Hairston]

Terrible call, but they gave the Spurs the whistle immediately on the subsequent play..it may have been a legit foul vs. Tim, but it was clear that they were going to give the make-up call to the Spurs, ASAP:lol..

Refs weren't to blame, Spurs had a 3-point lead and the ball with 2:30 left and blew it..regardless, though, one of the best series' of all-time, no shame in losing like that, these were 2 of the 3 best teams in the league, probably..

[pageC4]

Im sorry, but this is disgraceful. The better team always wins. Spurs were the media darlings, clippers won. Dont take that away from LAC. Respect the results. U guys have 5 chips dont rob us of this

[cjw]

Can't wait till NBA officiating report to come out on that one. Whoever called the foul shouldn't call another big game the rest of the playoffs.

For now, let's go Lebron. I used to despise him, but would love to see him win it again and push away these other pretenders. If not him, I'm fine with the Clips as Paul is chronically underrated and Blake is unstoppable (until Cerde guards him). Would go for Memphis but they stand no chance with Conley looking like he just fought Mike Tyson.

[perfectdark]

Im sorry, but this is disgraceful. The better team always wins. Spurs were the media darlings, clippers won. Dont take that away from LAC. Respect the results. U guys have 5 chips dont rob us of this

The call was pathetic. The refs waited until it was rebounded to call it. Non-existent foul, clear flop and zero contact. In crunch time.

[testies]

the legit thing to be pissed is clock shit that made them see our play
that was absolute bs

[Nathan89]

You can't makeup call chris paul fts with tim duncan fts.:lol Plus that took the last possession away from us.

[kobyz]

Because that call Duncan and Green also didn't challenge Paul more on the last play, they afraid from another call...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

The call was pathetic. The refs waited until it was rebounded to call it. Non-existent foul, clear flop and zero contact. In crunch time.

This, the waiting to see if it missed tells you everything you need to know about the game being rigged

[K...]

We got that silly Manu shooting foul though. So it was not good officiating but Paul hit crazy big shots without ref help. Spurs never had a man step up and say, I'll win this.

You know what somebody has to post that on twitter to get their attention that we know the was favoritism ::wtf. Obviously there was no foul. Their bodies were a half a meter apart. Duncan's hands did not touch Paul

[99 Problems]

The no call on the loose ball against CP3 when we were 5 up costs us big time.

But sportsmanship demands we must take our hat off to CP3, wot a game from him tbh.

Spurs didn't get calls all series long, the refs were with the clippers especially after doc crying, clippers complain hard to the refs and it win them the series...

[Horse]

And don't forget doc was crying again in the interview right before the start of the 4th. Amazing they still reward this shit.

[james evans]

the blame should be put on parker's bitch ass, freethrows, and danny green not being able to hit a fukin jump shot all series.

[z0sa]

Sure, it was a ticky tack call at the end of a Game 7 of a tightly contested playoff series. That said, the Clippers got a key offensive rebound, Paul ends up hitting a big shot at the end of the game, and the Spurs didn't execute when the time came. It's really that simple.

The call was legit. Settle down

[unleashbaynes]

believe me, the Spurs are to blame for the loss. we would be up 5 or 6, have a fast break, blow the opportunity, and have the Clips hit a 3 or a quick momentum shot the other way. it happened too many times.

that said, the reffing was bad. they were setting moving screens the entire series and our guys were getting called for fighting through them. lots of ticky tack stuff called against us that wasn't being called against them. then when they would FINALLY get called for something they would bitch endlessly to the refs.

dont't even get me started on that absolute horseshit at the end that took the last possession(OT at worst) from us and just handed it right to the Clips.

Clips beat Rockets, lose to Warriors in 6.

[Agloco]

Im sorry, but this is disgraceful. The better team always wins. Spurs were the media darlings, clippers won. Dont take that away from LAC. Respect the results. U guys have 5 chips dont rob us of this

The best team doesn't always win, but in this case they did. The Spurs just had too many issues to overcome this year and they were never quite able to pull their offense or defense together for significant stretches unfortunately.

Go Clips!

[Horse]

What the fuck is wrong with you? That's a bad call in the regular season. In the playoffs its unforgivable.

[Twisted_Dawg]

Which ref made that call?

[hitmanyr2k]

I thought it was a terrible call as well. Maybe you get that ticky tack call in the first quarter of a game in December but not in the waning seconds of a Game 7. There was barely any contact and if the contact doesn't even affect the shot (which it didn't, Paul bricked that shot without an ounce of contact from Duncan) you let that shit go and play on.

[dbestpro]

In most sports, including basketball you must beat the champion. You are not going to win by crying or by flopping. Unless, you are playing the Spurs. The Spurs are one of the greatest teams to ever step on the floor, but have never gotten the respect by the officials that other champions have received. This will always have to be part of the discussion when you compare the Spurs to the Celtics, Lakers, and Bulls.

[mkurts]

Flop Paul the hero that the NBA wants

[MultiTroll]

Can we get clip(s) of this with as many views as possible?


Which ref made that call?
It was referee Monty McCutchen who called the foul on Duncan in final minute that gave CP3 2 FTs. <courtesy Juggity

[itsamanuthree]

Don't forget they blatanly ignored Leonard being repetedly fouled on his penetrations.

[spurs10]

What the fuck is wrong with you? That's a bad call in the regular season. In the playoffs its unforgivable. :toast

[TampaDude]

That's what you get when you blow a chance to close it out in Game 6.

Y'all didn't seriously think we were gonna win Game 7 in LA, did ya? I'm surprised it was even close.

Go Clips!great attitude. Very gracious take. We have to consider that paul also didnt play much in the first half due to the injury and the clippers grinded out a win. Spurs are the best team in the west the past three years, but the clippers were the better team last night.

Enjoy your second round loss.

[Bender]

the spurs screwed themselves by losing the last game of reg season. clippers would be about the last west team I would want the spurs to get in first round.

and yeah I'm sure that's been brought up here several times already.

[SnakeBoy]

Funny thing is that Clippers fans are bitching about the refs even after they won the game

Not really.

[pageC4]

It depends how far the Clippers get. If the Clippers win it all then the Spurs team may only need minor adjustments. But if the Clippers exit next round then major moves should be made to Spurs roster.

[Ditty]

Ehh...

He's got to let him land. Thought it was a make up call anyways the following play when TD went to the free throw line.

[pageC4]

Not really.Exiting from the playoffs is undesirable, but there is a progession. Im not saying a second round out is ideal, but when given an option you would prefer to fight another day

[daslicer]

Maybe, but a second round loss is still better than a 1st round loss. Nice try at an insult

TBH your team is in its prime so basically anything less than a title is failure which means your team will have another failed season with CP3-Griffin-Jordan trio. Pretty low standards you have to get high off a first round victory but then again your team celebrated like it was a life time achievement award so I shouldn't be surprised.

[MultiTroll]

Skip, the bogus call
I'm assuming he will have several views on Monday.
Altho i do not tolerate Steven Smith so....

[lefty]

The Spurs have only themselves to blame

If they didnt screw up, the Clippers wouldn't have been in a position to win the series


So stop acting like vaginas






phaggots

[Chillen]

I agree with everything Skip Bayless tweeted, Duncan didn't foul CP3, he shot the ball and flopped. The ref sounding the buzzer why the Spurs were trying to run a play even worse. I do hate it when refs decide to play god and decide a teams future in the playoffs, but the Spurs should have had more of a cushion with a minute left. It's all crying over spilled milk at this point.

However, both games 6 and 7 were winnable and the Spurs blew it fair and square. Clips played them hard, play for play almost.

You could also say the Clips blew their home games, tbh. Sucks that such a call was made, tbh.

[MultiTroll]

Somebody in here posted that Duncan said he did foul Floppy Puss and he was fine with the call.
Yall hear Duncan say that?
Link?

[jbspurs]

It was Barnes offensive rebound that killed the Spurs. It was that rebound that gave CP3 game winning shot.

[Keepin' it real]

The thing is the score was tied so the spurs would have about 12 secs to win the game not 13 to try to make it even.

[SnakeBoy]

Why is nobody complaining about Barnes blatant foul on Kawhi on the final play. That would have put Kawhi in the position to make clutch free throws to...uh nevermind.

[TampaDude]

The missed rebound on that Hack-A-Jordan play was the game. Get that key rebound and there's no Clips 3 on that play and the Spurs win. Sound familiar? :lol

Of course, a healthy Splitter would've changed the game, too. Not making excuses, just laying out the facts.

Not really bummed about it, though...after 5, I'm good for quite a while. :hat

So true! Rigged from the start! Cheaters are what the Clippers are! They couldn't win without the refs help all along! Rooting for Memphis or Atlanta!

[heyheymymy]

Sometimes you're part of the narrative, sometimes your role in the narrative is to be removed from the narrative.

Spurs fans should just be happy they were a key character in the storyline for so long. Many teams won't ever get written like Spurs did. In fact, this valley for the Spurs could've been necessary to launch San Antonio's plot into new heights i.e. 2013 Finals had to happen to reach 2014 Finals storyline.

I was disappointed too, it's disrespectful to use TD, such a main character, to fall in the rise of one not as deserving like CP3. But LA needed a plot twist. The bread and butter Lakers have not been in the past few episodes and might take some time to rise again. LA is too important to the series to be unused for this long. Enter Clippers.

Success, especially getting past a team like the Spurs, is the best cure for bad PR. This departs the Sterling storyline and creates a new beginnings plot for the Clippers and LA. Little disrespect was actually meant from Silver to Duncan and the Spurs. Ever since he took over, his main agenda seems to be propping up the underdogs. Notice how all the teams left haven't won since 1998? My guess is Silver hated how the Stern era had the same 5 champs and wants to mix it up to make it more diverse and attract interest. It's good for business for these teams to refresh and differ, get some new names in contention.

Spurs might be getting written out, that's a possibility. But there are clues that they aren't imo. Kawhi's rise has been my biggest clue that the league has good use for their character's story still. Watch next year when we are back and the tale is about how TD is passing the torch to KL.

[FromWayDowntown]

State Farm got to McCutchen. Got some Cliff Paul-Sebastian Curry spots in the can and need a Clippers v. Warriors series to make it work, obviously.

I agree with what you said but its still a tough pill to swallow to lose to a bitchmade squad like the Clippers that have a sense of entitlement. This is the same team that claimed last year they were traumatized by the Sterling scandal and used it as an excuse to why they choked against OKC but we know in reality they knew Sterling was a bigot for a long time. Their stars bitch about calls on every possession and their coach bitches about the refs after just about every loss.
