it kind of can look that westbrook blocked the shot
refs were fine yesterday, to my surprise
How huge would this call had been if Ginobili missed the three at the end? Wow.. can't believe they didn't call that..

Spurs knew they were going to have to beat the Thunder and the refs in Oklahoma City, and they simply put their heads down and powered through.
The officiating wasn't great on either side last night, and they actually showed considerable restraint by not falling for a number of outrageous flops. Still, that could have potentially been another series-changing missed call to benefit the Thunder.
Fortunately, Timmy and Manu had other plans.
Someone claimed that the call ended up being right because, even though the ball clearly hit the backboard before being swatted away, it hit the backboard below the rim, meaning that it wasn't a goaltend.
I have never heard that interpretation.
Does anyone on here know for sure what the rule is?
Whomever told you that is wrong. If it hits the back board as in this situation, it's a goaltend.
We were due to out manuever bad calls and make big shots. It's meant to be we win the le.
Thanks. That is what I had always heard, but I thought maybe it had changed. It was a twitter from last night.
Always hear the BS "they can only review it if it's in the last two minutes" excuse everytime a decision goes against the Spurs... and yet, here we are in the last two minutes... and they can't review it. What a ing surprise that is.
Am pretty confident that had it been for OKC, we'd have come back from commercials to see they'd been given the two points.
You believe everything you read don't you Mr Gullible? Was a clear goal tend.
What horse about the officiating being good last night. The Spurs beat a horrible goaltend and 18 Oklahoma food stamps in the fourth.
yes, the interpretation is that you should punch that dude in the face.
lol!! Will remember the advice for future reference!
edit actually it's wrong
Of course I believe everything I read. That is why I asked the question. If I didn't believe everything I read I would have just accepted that statement without asking. So clever of you to notice that character flaw of mine.
it hits the backboard below the rim, but it's blocked above the rim. So is it a goaltend?
It was actually Kenny Smith who said it on Inside the NBA and Shaq and Barkley and Ernie started hammering him for being so stupid, he also said kawhi was lucky on the steal on westchuck, not a good night for a usually solid analyst.
Not sure if serious.

Section I-A Player Shall Not:
e. During a field goal attempt, touch a ball after it has touched the backboard below the ring level and while the ball is on its upward flight.
Need to see the video of durant's "block" on Tim, the one where Tim recovered and handed it off to Kawhi (who missed). IMO that was a much worse no call than the goaltend.
Ok, got it. thanksgood thing we fought through the officiating.
It was also on a twitter from someone called Gary Parrish.
lmfao who? sounds reputable
One thing I don't like that I'm starting to see is players missing the block but slapping the backboard extra hard trying to disrupt the ball coming of the glass. This used to also be called goaltending all the time back in the day, but they've really started letting it go.
Have no clue who the guy is and never claimed it was correct. Just noting that it was written…I had not heard the comment from the Overtime show.
The refs actually called the game almost 99% right, so I'll let it slide. There were so many flops by Durbeta and Westchimp I thought for sure would get them calls but didn't. Props to the refs tbh
