NBA: Oklahoma City Thunder (#2) vs Los Angeles Clippers (#3) Playoff Series Thread

Chris Paul tried to pull this kind of bs, instead of just taking a real foul




Bad habits

Ya, I really think that's it! That pussy flopping mentality is so ingrained that he went into that mode, even though HE HAD POSSESSION!! He was trying to draw the foul, when the situation GUARANTEED that the other team was definitely going to foul him. Holy what an epic up on his part.

all these people making up the officiating to be something it's not..we won, fair and square..

The refs made up their own rule to give the ball back to the thunder. Winning outside the rules is the opposite of fair and square.

How the does CPJoke jump in the air and lose the ball with 17 seconds left?? WTF was he thinking? Just take the foul, make the free throws, and close out the game. This loss is on him.

Exactly. Clips had a hand in their own demise and wrapped it around their own neck.

Voice of reason. One quasi-shady call amidst a 7-pt lead (with 49 ticks left) and two inexplicable TO's by your star player in the last 17 seconds. This is all on Chris Paul. To say otherwise means you're too emotional (like a female) to digest what just happened.

it started way before all that, Clippers were blowing it open and Thunder got like a ton of FTs. my cousin was blowing up my phone about it and he roots for the Heat. some people just don't like bull or dishonesty.

Anyone got a YT of Tom's presser?

I think they need to rethink the replay rules. If they are going to look at the replay, the refs need to be able to look at everything and not just who touched it. I think the reason so many of these replays seem to defy logic is that the refs are making up for not calling the foul by saying it was too close to overrule the out-of-bounds call. I know that is not the rule, but I think that is what happens.

Wtf point is Barkley tying to make about the replay call?

I think his point is that the refs might have saw that the ball was off Jackson, but they also saw a foul on Barnes, so they awarded OKC with the out-of-bounds call to make up for the lack of foul call... because the NBA has apologized multiple times for blown calls late in the game. It's a convoluted point.

There's no denying the Clips choked 6-style, but that was absolutely terrible officiating towards the end. Clips deserved the chance to choke their FTs too to further mimic the Spurs.

[Mikeanaro]

You're very emotional over a non-Spurs game. Wanna talk about it?

Lol, the whole game is ed if you play better but they stop you play after play and let them score, how the are you gonna play?
You already know it or maybe not because you are a Lakerfan, yeah CP3 farted in the end but it´s easier to play with confidence when refs will allow you everything Im not saying CP3 is not a flopper but this acting wasn´t even for 5 year old kids

It's also against the rules... but chuck is a dumbass anyways

Danny Green asking for trouble on Twitter tbh...

I think he deleted the tweet. What did it say?

[Jacob1983]

Chris Paul is such an overrated pussy. Just own up. You just aren't that good.

At least he gets it.

[TDfan2007]

Paul owning up to his massive choke job.

[spurs10]

Refs blatantly cheated. Everyone has seen the replay, but Chris Paul is probably the most overrated pg in the game and gave away this game and probably the series. At least he admits it.

[capek]

I think he deleted the tweet. What did it say?

A very ironic observation about a team making major screw ups with seconds to go in a big game.

[Killakobe81]

Paul taking the blame like a real man.
Much respect made on the court at times but off the court much respect.

[RD2191]

bull

[Dverde]

When it comes to choking in the playoffs...i think the NBA has a new Mr. Reliable. Cliff Paul could't find him an insurance plan to cover him from that epic choke. Never seen a player make three separate chokes consecutivly like that. 1. Doesn't accept foul. 2. Foul 3 pt shooter. 3. Doesnt get a shot up to end the game. Epic!

[ElNono]

TNT not showing the replay from the other side, that shows Reggie clearly pushed the ball out

[timtonymanu]

Does this make Spurs fans appreciate Enrique more?

[Nathan89]

Refs trying to swallow the whistle on fouls has caused that problem numerous times since reviewing has been implemented. Now the refs decide not to follow the rules. And why now did the NBA admit they missed the foul call a couple weeks ago when that happens all of the time.

Danny Green asking for trouble on Twitter tbh...

did he delete some tweets? or am i looking at the wrong twitter account?

The Finals are going to be so ing easy for Miami. OKC is literally going to be a walk in the park. Miami can do whatever they want to on offense while easily shutting down OKC's ty, predictable offense.
