Take Thunder Thursday... this was brutal. Should have been a foul on Barnes, not called... so refs do what they think is correct. Thunder win Thursday. Just my humble opinion, but the oddsmakers make it 3.5 after Doc Rivers just went off which confuses everyone. Refs made a bad call and then made another bad call to over-ride their previous call. At any rate, Clippers f*cked this game up so bad it's not even funny.:shrug: Clippers up 7 with less than 50 seconds left and lost... they can say zebras screwed them, but they screwed themselves with dumb play... heck up 101-88 with less than 5 minutes. Tough to blow this game. Think Thunder take momentum into Thursday now.

I watched some of 1st half. Couldn't sleep and got up to watch 4th quarter.
This series is great and awful at the same time. I absolutely hate Westbrook. He's athletic as shit but he makes some awful plays and most of the time he just wants to throw himself into defender to get the call.
Anyway, this game.....hard for me to comment on all of it. Thunder shot a ton of free throws, esp in 1st half....they'd have been blown out just like the Pacers on their own home court.
Instant replay is garbage in basketball. Like was mentioned.....the ref's made the fair call...but they made the wrong call. I think its an ok no-call except that you can go review it...but you can't review all of it.
Then Paul gets blatantly fouled on the last play and no call. BTW, I made a lot of money on this....bullshit luck lol. I had Wiz/OKC ML Parlay, then hedged with Clip +5....so I won both! But what a bullshit game. I've grown to hate the Thunder and don't care for the Clippers either. This series is like a car wreck....brutal to watch but I can't turn away...

paul got blatantly fouled on the last play?
he didn't get touched and lost the ball himself.......the guy is a cocky, whiny, flopping prick on the court.
I don't know. It looked like the guy hit his arm and caused the ball to pop free.....looked like it on every replay I saw. Either way, I'm glad they didn't call it. I like winning money. Just really looked like his arm got hit to me.
Honestly I can't stand either of these teams. This series has made me dislike the Clippers a little less and start really hating the Thunder. I'm hoping for Spurs/Wizards!

I am not discussing Paul and his carelessness. I am not discussing Westbrook (I hate him too).
I am simply pointing out the RIGGED call by the REFS.
INSTANT REPLAY is NOT allowed to change a call to a foul.
It is allowed to determine possession.
They cannot award the ball based on a BLOWN CALL.
The ball was 1,000,000 % off Jackson. The ONLY CALL IS CLIPPERS BALL IN THAT INSTANCE.

Totally agree. They made the wrong call. I'm glad they made the fair call, but they really had no right to do that. Replay has turned into a terrible rule. I've been sick of it since about halfway through the college season. There's too much contact on plays...you don't want to call every touch but then when you don't, that touch caused the ball to go out on someone else.
couple things
1) paul wasn't touched on the last play...and it's not even a debate
2) tnt showed that there actually is a rule that if a defender hits an offensive players wrist while he's in possession of the ball and the ball goes out of bounds (obviously off the offensive player since the defender hit the wrist not the ball) the ball is to be awarded to the offensive team.
chris paul had WAY more to do with he loss than the refs.....at least he admitted it.

I am a long time lurker, great people in here that know their stuff. I will admit I had Clippers plus 6 in the second half so take my comments with a grain of salt. No worries not here to offend anyone. and that is fine if you think I am bias since I had a financial stake in the game. I am a light bettor so it didn't hurt as bad.
However, the end of that game to me was unbelievable. I saw it as the REFS completely controlled the outcome. That ball was out on Jackson, they can even reply this, and still inconclusive? It was quite obvious on the TNT reply who that was out on. As far as Paul, he made so many mistakes I have to wonder what in the world he was doing. He hasn't won a championship yet and this is why he came to the Clippers. The foul on Westbrook, if I am a Ref come on this is 4th quarter game on the line and he is calling that foul? Whether it is right or wrong in NHL playoff 3rd period the Refs basically say it has to be so obvious penalty or we are not calling it. Rangers and Penguins Game 7 I was watching that and it was true as the whistle went silently. Many opportunities to call penalties, and if it was the regular season they would have been called.
Too many times we continue to hear the REFS in the NBA control the outcome. Again not meaning to offend anyone. I did have money on it, so take it for what it is worth. The last minute of this game was controlled by the REFS with help from Paul. I sit here baffled as to what in the world was he doing out there. Much better to have Crawford in the clutch last night. This is the same Paul that had how many 3 pointers in game 1. The NBA dazed and confused but I still like to watch and decide who to choose.
