Who gives a fuck if they had a chance. The refs need to call something as blatant as that happening 2 feet in front of them, it's disgraceful they didnt.

 

[TheLaughingStock]

Who penciled in that facial hair under Westbrook's chin and upper lip?

 

[J2 Cool]

I need a full replay of that last 7 seconds. Incredible they didn't get a bucket there.

How do you settle for a Patty Mills 3 pointer after that break?

 

[offtopic]

lol Webber..."we would hav...you would have a possession setup..."

No bias detected!

yeah. extremely unprofessional. how about pointing out the ginobli stepped out of bounds as part of that.

i'm a warrior fan so not really caring (although a long series is better)

 

[Shamrock7r]

they should have tried to lay it in.

 

[Frenden]

Regardless of how the Spurs did or did not react after the ball was inbounded, the call was missed. Should've been a foul. Period.

 

[Eos]

Mills is an idiot too for not going for the open layup

 

[friskykillface]

why was Mills in the game anyway, guy was shitty tonight

lol air ball a three

 

[Lunar FC]

Trying to watch that last possesion without making noise in this study hall was difficult. Complete shitshow.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

LOL REFS
Webber was losing it tho, damn.

For real. It was a bad blown call but CWebb's response would have been justified if Waiters hit Manu's wife or something.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Who gives a fuck if they had a chance. The refs need to call something as blatant as that happening 2 feet in front of them, it's disgraceful they didnt.

Not as disgraceful as chucking a three down by one.

 

[Brinbe]

There was a bunch of shit refs probably missed going both ways. They just don't have Chris Webber bitching about it on national TV. Crying about refs is beneath the Spurs. Don't do it.

 

[tookhster]

Lol C. Webb bet money for a sweep or something. Never seen a broadcaster rage off like that.

 

[Fjordson]

Refs not calling that foul helped the Spurs. Lol, Webber is terrible.

 

[devilhawk]

Hell, call interference on Ginobli if you aren't calling an offensive foul.

But how in the hell do you allow contact with the inbounder? The whistle HAS to blow there for something.

 

[J2 Cool]

.

Pop kept him in until 3:40 left in the game, then brings him back in the pivotal moment.

 

[TSM]

Well that officiating crew should be embarrassed to miss such a blatant foul, but the Spurs should have called time out, which is what they would have done had the foul been called. Such a terrible ending to the game.

 

[Darkgran]

Why is this announcer just losing his shit over the inbounds play? Dumb. Ginobli's toe was actually out of bounds in part of that sequence where he was defending the inbounder.

Yep. In all reality it should have been a technical foul on Ginobli....

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

lol Webber..."we would hav...you would have a possession setup..."

No bias detected!

Oh he definitely had the big bucks on the Spurs. He was furious about that Waiters push lol.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

lol air ball a three

He's a good defender. Another reason the Spurs should've called timeout so they could have gotten a better lineup in.

 

[UncleMeat]

Ginobli did embellish some as usual though so the ref probably thought he was flopping. Crying wolf and all that...

 

[my name is ed]

Ibaka is such a low basketball IQ player. Waiters is terrible. Somehow got out of there with a win despite Ibaka and Waiters.

 

[yuraya]

lol @ CWeb being so mad. Probably had money riding on the Spurs.

 

[Devilgunman]

Regardless of the result, that call was awfully missed. No one is saying if the Spurs got that call they would have won. Get the fact straight.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

I hope ESPN or other sports media don't take away from OKC win tonight cause of that CWebb rant.

 

[dream]

To be fair, the referees putting on their OKC Thunder hoodies was sketchy as shit.

 

[Brinbe]

Pop looks like he's gonna murk a fool

 

[spyder_ur]

Scoring against a scramble like that when half the defense is in the backcourt is a lot easier than going against a set defense. Spurs fucked up.

And it's not like they couldn't still call the timeout once they got the steal.

No it's not, any coach in the league would rather call a TO. Did the Spurs have one left? If so that's on the coaching staff.

Regardless, bizarre situation. I'm not sure I've ever seen a play where the inbounder reached across and fouled a player. Bizarre and the refs tend to miss those abnormal situations.

Really embarrassing no call, though.

 

[offtopic]

Hell, call interference on Ginobli if you aren't call line an offensive foul.

But how in the hell do you allow contact with the inbounder? The whistle HAS to blow there for something.

The other factor in play there is that it was Ginobli...refs sort of know he has a way of going on argentine futbal style at the mere possibility of contact. He is good at it. Given that he actually stepped out of bounds as part of that sequence a no-call was probably the fair outcome. Hell, the Spurs got another chance when it could have gone against them.

 

[Mutagenic]

That was some of the worst officiated shit I have ever seen.

 

[Fjordson]

Regardless of the result, that call was awfully missed. No one is saying if the Spurs got that call they would have won. Get the fact straight.

Webber was. "You need to give guys the best chance to win!". That no call helped the Spurs lol.

[Monochromaticx]

OFFENSIVE FOUL. THAT WAS AN OFFENSIVE FOUL. THE LAST FIVE SECONDS OF THAT DON'T MATTER BECAUSE IT WAS AN OFFENSIVE FOUL.OFFENSIVE FOULOFFENSIVE FOUL

 

[Nafai1123]

I'm surprised the Spurs played so poorly at home. LMA was great but that was their only offense for the most part. They totally blew it on that last play whether the foul was called or not.

 

[offtopic]

Yep. In all reality it should have been a technical foul on Ginobli....

Spurs fans would like to conveniently ignore this fact.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Ice cold

 

[Roland_Gunner]

A chance to win didn't mean they're going to though.

 

[Mutagenic]

Are you even allowed to jump pass like that from the sideline?

 

[Fjordson]

No it's not, any coach in the league would rather call a TO. Did the Spurs have one left? If so that's on the coaching staff.

Says who? You've never seen teams come down and win it without a timeout? And three OKC players were behind the play lmao. Letting OKC set up their defense or even make defensive subs would benefit them way more than basically two men desperately stopping a fast break.

And if they thought they needed a timeout to score (which doesn't make sense) then call it after the steal.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Are you even allowed to jump pass like that from the sideline?

That's what I keep asking. You can run the baseline after a score but I thought you had to be stationary on sideline out-of-bounds.

 

[Ronin Ray]

Such a crazy blown call. Never seen it

 

[Ninja Scooter]

 

[AnAnole]

Seriosly, it's not just a missed call, it's an inbound er reaching across the out of bounds line and shoving someone in the chest. Not a Spurs fan but that was pathetic

 

[Lee Chaolan]

lol Spurs got hosed.

Doesn't surprised me Dion Waiters is at the heart of the controversy

 

[Vestal]

Heres the thing.. Gino was not 3 feet away.

 

[Mutagenic]

That's what I keep asking. You can run the baseline after a score but I thought you had to be stationary on sideline out-of-bounds.

What a fucked up play.

 

[Gigglepoo]

What a fucked up play.

I loved it!

 

[Brinbe]

lol Gino on his foot on the line too. Whine, whine, whine. People take these ex-jock's word as gospel too often and they're always wrong.

Thanks. Conversation over.
