Why didn't the refs call the blatant travel?
94-89 with 1:12 to go after Westbrook makes a layup.
Spurs had been up 10 on SuperGNobs 2+1. So OKC still has a shot.
Ginobili is just past the halfcourt line starts his slicing drive. Westbrook and Durant are at either side of the lower block looking right at Ginobili. GNob gathers the ball at the FT line (does not take another dribble) gets past Harden at a step inside the FT line. Harden tries a strip and GNob goes right by him.
Both Durant and Westbrook stand flat footed with hands at their sides, watching the whole time as Ginobili takes two full steps and goes up for the layup.
What the was that?
Afterwords Westbrook and Harden look at each other and Westbrook makes a waving motion with his arm and snarls at Harden.
*I'm technomologically challenged or I'd make a .gif of the play. Anyone who would like to, appreciated.

If it's the play I'm thinking of, he definitely traveled
Answer: it's the NBA. Traveling is allowed.
Refs were so ing horrible in this game. No excuse for so many bad calls.
They also missed a travel call on Durant, so no big deal.
The mavs fans are right.
The officiating was horrid. Not because they gifted Durant a few points,
that was expected. They were just horrible.
But the calls were not in the Spurs' favor most times.
Only blowing the whistle when Splitter got mauled, so he can
airball his foul shots.
Also, Ginobili did travel on that one play. But I saw Westbrook travel twice, and Durant once.
God you are a got.
Spurs were so lucky with calls, give me a break. Manu travel, Perkins 4th or 5th foul on Timmy, Perkins 4 or 5th foul on Tony for +1, Jack flop when he got grazed by Durant's elbow, every charge we did was called in our favour and there was a bunch ( 3 or 4), Manu flopping on the top of the key to Harden for some nice FT's, so many calls went our way.....and on the other hand no FT's for Harden at all, 2 or 4 for Westbrook only.....
We got no room to talk about officiating
^ but you forgot that Roger is a FkLA level dumb .
That was the right call. He didn't just get grazed by the elbow.
There were bad calls on both sides, just like any game. You just have to deal with it.
maybe its good officials didn't reward thunder's wild shots in the paint, where all they were looking for was a bailout
Those evil refs! They intentionally called fouls when Splitter had the ball because they knew he'd miss the free throws! They want the Spurs to lose!
those are strong accusations, do you have any evidence?

what about that goal tending call that wasn't
"the big bad refs"
gfy, thoroughly
I find it amazing how Mavs fans own Mavs>Spurs made a thread saying after OKC loses, we better not blame the refs...then here comes Mavs fan after Spurs win doing what? mmhmm. Refs ed up on both sides in that game...just like they usually do.
if all this is true, is about time the Spurs get some Lakers-like treatment

Did I tell you my favorite Tommy Nunez story?
You're too kind.
ginobili did not travel
sons you all need to understand that the NBA knows exactly what they are doing in the playoffs. they want this series (and every series at this level) to last at least 6 games because it will mean more money for everyone. at the end of the day the NBA is big business and money is all that matters. they want a 7 game NBA finals match-up between OKC and Miami because the television ratings would be through the roof due to the hype of Durant vs LeBron/Wade (despite OKC being a small market).
this series is going to last at least 6 games and if you think the officiating was bad last night, just wait until about games 3 and 4. Spurs are going to need to play the best basketball possible to pull this thing off, while the Thunder will only need to show up and play half ass decent. the help they will receive from the NBA will likely push them over the top.
no Son YOU need to understand the NBA has given up on this year, just like 99, expect next year to feature heat/okc or LA.
son the NBA wants Miami and Los Angeles in the finals every year. that is nothing new.
No travel... Euro 2 step dumb s
they would want every series to go 7 games which's understandable but how come they allowed so many 4-0 to happen in the first round?
