I understand the Rockets being pissed about that Harden dunk. Of course, D'Antoni won't talk about the obvious over and back they got by with right after that. Still, I'd be surprised if the league didn't take this one away.

The Rockets are the biggest crybaby es in the NBA. I remember they did a similar "protest" to the league a couple years ago after the Clippers won a game against them.
BTW - I remember the last minute or so of a game being replayed after the refs fouled Shaq out of the game when he only had 5 fouls. Something like that or a for-sure made basket not being counted is the kind of thing they would rule on.
Besides the Spurs come back that showcased Walker, this is one ugly game with Harden baiting fouls. Half are not even foul, while Spurs players didn’t get the same benefit, foul on Demar, Russ on Mills, that would’ve been called if against Harden. Ugly game the NBA became, and both playing for Rockets.

Rockets BIG mad that whole organization is so made, owner, GM, players, all of them lol
Didn't they have a clear backcourt violation that wasn't called and gave them 2 points?
Really? Good luck with that. I doubt the league change the boxscore or force the Spurs to play a quarter again...Just ridiculous.

All true. But a ball went through the ring, and didn't get counted. That's not a judgment call, and all those other things are. I'd give the protest a good chance.
I protest the egregious flaw in the clear path rule. It was ins uted to stop the poster dunks from being prevented by trailing defenders on those leak out plays. Lonnie Walker is defending with Harden in front of him at the three arc and he fouls him as he's going past him in a pretty normal defensive setting and all the sudden it'd two free throws and the ball? Give me an f'ing break. That's not what that rule is there for.
What would be sweeter than this protest not going through, is the protest going through and history repeating itself with a fourth quarter beatdown.
Too has the NBA isn’t like baseball with teams having to protest the moment these things happen.
The refs missed a clear backcourt on Westbrook and a clear out of bounds turnover on Harden. Both missed calls led to baskets for Houston.
Yup their was also a play where harden was clearly pit of bounds when he passed for an open made shot iirc
Yup. As whiny and off putting as it is, this is true.
Harden and D'Antoni are both such head cases, if they lose this game on account of that missed call (in their minds), it could up their whole season. They're both capable of going around the bend over the "unfairness" of it all. So that's something to look forward to.
The more I think about it, the more I think the protest will be upheld. I'm pretty sure that means replaying everything from there forward, since they can't know how the game would have played out if they had gotten it right. I don't think it's like a mistake about a 3P shot where they just add or subtract a point. I could be wrong, but I think it would at least be replayed.
Spurs picking up an L because of this would just be icing on the cake and another W for the Tank tbh
Nothing that got Silver would love more than to screw over a small market team. I can see the Rockets getting their wish, tbh.
It'd be so 2019 Spurs if the NBA overrules the game and Walker's game doesn't count
This is coming from the Houston Rockets
A team with a player averaging what 17 free throws made a game
They aren't changing the outcome of a regular season game or making them replay . If anything they will acknowledge they ed up and move on, just like they always have.
So what are they gonna do? Have them replay the last 6 minutes of the 4th with the Spurs down by like 16
And in the replay Pop subs out Walker for Marco.
