cool... let me know how you like it...I gave her a special bag just for you..

is da kine, brah.

Oh, so you are Jake from State Farm, that she be talking to at 3 in the morning?

 

[Robotech]

You see players that close all the time.

Ginobli was close enough that his foot was on the line, which gordontrue found to be against the rules.

 

[occupant]

Don't forget that San Antonio had only lost one home court game this year.

Thunder have taken 1 of 2.

Should be a good series to watch, eh?

nah...that must be someone else....

I don't stay up that damn late.....c'mon man!

No you don't. He was stepping on the out of bounds line. Players are never that close and if they are then the refs tell them to back up a little

Entertaining ending but the refs completely lost the handle on it at the end. There were at least 4 fouls that could have been called.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

But then Thunder could've set up a defense. I thought the Spurs had a perfect opportunity there on that turnover. Maybe I'm just not seeing things clearly enough, but I thought Mills had enough room to take it in for a score when he first got the ball.

The point is, teams execute better when they are running a play.

 

[Kold]

Yeah, but they could've ran a play, if the refs called the foul.

When I first saw it, I said foul, and only foul...but the more and more I look at it, I think it evened out with the no foul call

 

[bksballer89]

Basically this is much adu about nothing. Ginobli stepped on the line prior to Waiters making contact with him. If it was officiated properly he would have been called for a delay of game and OKC would have got to inbound it again.

I thought Aldridge got hacked with a couple seconds left, but hell, the officials didn't call all the stuff that came before, including Ginobli stepping on the line, so they weren't gonna call that foul for Aldridge either.

 

[Robotech]

The refs remained consistent on that last play. That's all we can ask for, right?

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Ginobli was close enough that his foot was on the line, which gordontrue found to be against the rules.

I just rewind the game, and Ginobili look like he didn't step out, or he barely did. If it's hard to determine on replay, what makes you think the refs could tell in real time?

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Good, because you was going to die.

I suggest you go to YouTube and look at a lot of close games with game winning shots, and see how close players be.

 

[Kold]

I will say that that Aldridge 3 eerily reminded me of the crap that Duncan used to pull off in late game moments...

gordontrue posted picture proof of it above. What more do you want? So the refs missed a call on both sides on that inbounds, so there should be nothing to gripe about from the Spurs' perspective.

The Spurs basically got a 3 on 1 fast break on that last play. What more do you want?

Look how close that is. How can yall say he stepped on the line with no doubt? Imagine being a ref, seeing that in full speed.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Charles Barkley confirmed it, the refs blew it.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

He confirmed it with a ref.
