The only ref in position to make that call was Davis, and he blew it, along with three other mistakes on that final play. Incompetent at best, crooked at worst.Quote:

The Spurs choked. Manu shouldn't have made that pass and Mills should have hit that wide open shot. I hope the players are willing to take a lot more responsibility for this loss than our fanbase wants to assign them.
:lmao Didn't see it even though Davis handed the ball to Waiters and was standing out of bounds right next to him with clear view of Manu/Watiers.
OK!
I was talking with a buddy after a game who is a D1 ref, he couldn't believe they didn't call the offensive foul call. He thought the whole 'never seen it before' explanation was crap, said they should have called Waiters for either the ball being extended over the sideline or jumping to pass (travel).Quote:

Spurs still had a timeout. So if they got pressure on the inbound, they had at least a timeout to try again. They could have had a set play instead of having Danny/Mills against a defense that was still able to contest.Quote:

Patty seemed to own up to it in the postgame, and Manu said it wasn't the difference in the game.Quote:

So Pop could have called the timeout. But he didn't because the Spurs were in a way better position to score without OKC having setup their defense. You only want the timeout because you can condition on knowledge the Spurs already blew the game without it.Quote:

PENALTY: Loss of ball. The ball is awarded to the opposing team at the original spot of the throw-in.
I don't think it was. End of game possessions have really low percentages for success when you're battling the clock and a set defense from halfcourt. The smart move was to go for the win while OKC's defense was in chaos, and Pop knew it, so he didn't call the timeout.Quote:

Spurs had their chances, and couldn't capitalize. It is what it is, on to the next game.
Who cares? Spurs got a better look than if they actually called a timeout to set up a play.Quote:

So, where was our starting PG?Quote:
