they weren't robbed. if the correct call was made, jackson would have gone to the line for free throws
A foul would have meant two free throws for a tie game at best. Not three free throws to take the lead, like they ended up getting on the phantom foul on the 3-pointer.
Meaning Clippers have the ball with the game being tied at worst, but since they missed the foul and the call on the floor was OKC ball, they went to the replay to see if it could be reversed, but it wasn't because it was inconclusive, the refs went by the rules as you can't tell beyond reasonable doubt that it was Clipper ball.
People have trouble pointing it out with the ability of reviewing the play on their computers, how the do you expect the refs to call it like that in real time? Doc said it was so clear that everyone saw it, that's bull . Clippers were sort of bailed out with the call because OKC still needed to score with little time remaining and their defense made the worst play possible - fouling a 3-point shooter.
The loss is entirely on the Clippers and all you gots know it. How the do you expect to win the game when you turn the ball over twice in the last 13 seconds and on top of that, you foul the shooter? Westbrook took a similar three earlier in the 4th and he completely airballed it with no one on him, why do you get up so close on him and risk fouling him with the game on the line? If he makes the three, it's a lucky ass low-percentage shot, if he misses, you win the game.
There's no way around it, Clippers deserved to lose the game with the way they played in the last 3 minutes of the game the same way OKC deserved to lose Game 4. If you can't hold onto a double-digit lead in the 4th quarter, you should lose.
For being called the best PG in the league by numerous humans, Chris Paul definitely can't hold onto to the ball that well in the last minute of a game.
yeah, it was unfortunate for sure. good points all around
We are next
The refs were bad. No doubts. But still CP3 turned the ball over twice. And he hit Westbrook on the elbow during the 3 pt attempt. Those faults are on him.
Doc is pissed because replay is used for black and white, who touched the ball last. You can't insert subjectivity when the millions are watching the the same replay. It's been said a million times, " you can't review whether is was a foul or not."
Once you add an opinion about who "should" get the ball, you negated the entire reason for replay. So from now on, if there is a missed foul on the reviewed play, they're gonna award it to the other team every time? It's a can of worms they just opened with last night's call.
They had the exact same play go against them when Paul was fouled against GS, but touched the ball last, which the replay showed and was the correct call because that's all replay is supposed to be used to review. That's why doc is ing.
CROFL Tony Brothers hugging Durant's monkey ass mother
Half choked/Half robbed.
Failure to hit any dagger in the last 3:30 (Paul did hit a late jumper, but the Clippers were 0-4 before that and Crawford blew a floater that would've clinched it): Choke
CP3 Manu-style TO: Choke
Out-of-bounds play that went to Thunder: Robbed
Questionable foul called on Paul that gave Westbrook 3 FTs: Arguably robbed.
Chris Paul losing the ball in the closing seconds: Choked and robbed. The choke was that Paul should've pulled up for the elbow jumper but instead overdribbled into traffic. Jackson did foul him, though, but we know the refs are never making that call. But if you're gonna call a foul on Westbrook's 3...
I would put that in the "choked and robbed" category. Idiotic play to try and jack it for 3 FTs (choked) but he was definitely grabbed on the arm by Westbrook (robbed)
He did turn the ball over twice but that last no call obvious reach in by Jackson had me fuming. I honestly want to give up at this point, there's simply no way you can win in this league with incompetent officials running the show.
RefKC to Spurs...
LMAO! That will happen and this will too...RefKC to Spurs...
The biggest robbery of all was when Choke Paul robbed $107 million from the Clippers franchise
So naive.
Clippers started as the Buffalo Braves in 1970. Including this year, they've made the playoffs 10 times out of 44 tries, never advancing to the Conference Finals. They've made it to the second round 6 times.
It won't matter because then the refs will still hand game 7 to reflahoma.
Yep.
One way or another,
RefKC is moving on.
Lets see a still photo of this too.
Why don't you fat be@ner gots keep this pedestrian in the Club where it belongs?
The spurs specialize in guarding the inside with 2 7 footers. It's the pick and roll they struggle with. But I think they'll win against either team. But the Clippers I would think would be easier. They play too much like the Blazers.
Doc just got hit for $25,000 for his ing about the end of the OKC-Clipper game..........He got his moneys worth!
