lol, is this true? I never knew this was the rule
Your arguing semantics. If that is indeed the rule than Jackson lost the ball out of bounds due to being hit on the hand and should retain possession. What happens after is irrelevant.
Though I am skeptical it's cut and dry like that.
Wtf. Wow.
Wtf. Wow.
Am I crazy for wishing we had gotten Stan Van instead? SVG is a proven coach and Kerr isn't.
Doc can say what he wants but its about as weak as blaming a game on missing free throws. I mean you can, but at the end of the day you got to win the ballgame. Every team deals with calls all season, so lets go back and review all the games and reset the playoff spots, no?As somebody who has officiated basketball for many, many years, it's ignorant to suggest that a call cannot make a difference in the way a game plays out. Unless you have ever been in a game situation yourself, you really have no idea how important a call can be. Refs are human and bad calls are a part of the game. But a bad call is still a bad call. The reality is one call can determine what team wins and what team goes home. Doc Rivers has every right to be upset and at the end of the day, OKC came out with a win. That's how it goes sometimes. I love this game!
And Kerr's only stint in the NBA after playing was a pretty mediocre few years as the Suns GM.Yea i'd take Stan since he is proven.

Rio with the dumb foul. JJ had position. PEACE.That looked like a charge, but why didn't he just pull up the free throw jumper?

I agree, at the end of the day you need to win the ball game. But even a missed free throw can decide a game.
I played hoops for almost two decades and have reffed at multiple levels. As multiple people have attempted to point out, the only reason that call even became a factor was a Clippers implosion. If CP3 does what any player in the league does in that situation, they're up four points and it's game over. He attempted a dreadful pre-flop and lost them the game.
The refs got the call on Jackson wrong, but no more wrong then they did by not awarding him FTs for that exact same play. It's disingenuous for Clippers fans and Doc to complain about the out of bounds call WHILE openly admitting that it was the Barnes foul that led Jackson to lose the ball out of bounds. This isn't some chicken-and-egg type of debate. A clear foul led to a turnover. The refs made the correct call in awarding that ball to OKC given the context of the play. Anything beyond that is pure salt.
This would have been really interesting if Brooklyn won gm 4
That Nets trade this past off-season is a typical New York trade.
Has KG played since the 1st quarter?
I mean it's a joke.
