DougN Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 You're showing a gif of him slapping his hand when BOTH HANDS WERE HOLDING THE BALL. Look at this: I'm more inclined to agree with Sydney though: That doesn't account for the dozens of other times someone was fouled while the ball was knocked out of bounds, but the refs gave it to the fouling team anyway. You can't call fouls in replays, you can only call who touched the ball last. The refs said the replay was "inconclusive," when aside from one angle, it was anything but. It had nothing to do with the interpretation of the rule shown above. You're completely right and they should have called it a foul....and they obviously tried to rectify that call by saying "inconclusive." I agree that they weren't thinking of the rule when they did this. It was a "make-up" call which is the absolute worse thing about NBA in my opinions. "Oh, we missed that foul, well let's call this brush a foul to make up for it." HOWEVER.... The rule clearly states that in this instance, the ball should have been OKC, and there have been numerous sportswriters citing old examples how this is the case. I'll have to find the clips they're talking about for offensive players holding a ball with two hands, getting slapped in one, the ball flies out of bounds, and offense remains possession. Edit: Big debate too is that the rule is vague and says "hits the hand causing the ball to go out-of-bounds." Doesn't say which hand has to be hit. Again, by the RULEBOOK, the call was good. But it was still a bad call overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Bad call or not, the Clippers put themselves in a position to GET screwed by the refs when they shouldn't have. That's getting overlooked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 \ Oh, he KNOWS..... Also, I think Clippers are going to get the ref's preferential treatment in Game 6 to make up for Game 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_MJ_ Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 Ignoring the out of bounds play, Chris Paul did get foul on the arm by Reggie Jackson on the last play of the game. Man, nothing went right for Chris Paul during the final minute of the game. OKC has certainly caught more than a few breaks in these playoffs. Almost every championship team does, but they have to be down to the last two wishes on their monkey's paw. Or maybe Scott Brooks drew up all these scenarios during timeouts.

Josh Mann Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 The way Miami's shooting, down 7 at halftime is a gift. And it's not Brooklyn's defense. Most of those threes the Heat missed were wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Mann Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 That offensive foul on JoJo would have put them up 13 had it not been called. Gamechanger? Edit: NOPE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Mario Chalmers just faked every Heat fan out by not taking that shot and passing it to Ray Allen. Every Heat fan screamed "NO" and once he passed it to Ray they screamed "YES". I had no idea that Chalmers was capable of that level of restraint.

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Biggest sequence of the game: LeBron body checks Joe Johnson and then blocks his shot, no call. Less than ten seconds later Joe is called for a foul (same amount of contact or less)and LeBron goes to the line for two.. That's the NBA in a nutshell.

_MJ_ Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Joe Johnson was cooking Lebron in the 4th quarter(gave him fadeaways, AND-1 drives, etc.), but Kidd should have just went for the win with a 3 point attempt there. I wouldn't like their chances in an overtime period anyway. I know hindsight is 20/20, but Joe dribbling into traffic with 5 seconds to go wasn't a great idea.

sabremike Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nobody has noted this, but the real key play of the game was the idiotic foul at the end of the first quarter that gifted the Heat two points. That may have been the single stupidest play I have ever seen a player made. Just let the guy take a half court prayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
