Xia don't feed their paranoia. Besides, we all know he only calls on behalf of the GSW. He got that Lacob money to allow them to be light years ahead of the competition.Let's be honest, we all know what really happened!

His toe was on the line. The pic from previous page obviously showed that.

I suspect Webber will get a stern talking to from the higher-ups...
OKC played poorly outside of Westbrook, Durant and the occasional contribution from Ibaka and Adams. SA also played poorly (excluding Aldridge of course). Patty Mills in particular was horrible. This game could have easily been another 20-25 point blowout by either team if more players stepped up.
I still think that the Spurs will win at least one game (possibly both games) in OKC and close out the Thunder in 5 or 6. Tonight's loss really isn't that big of a deal...it may actually be a good thing for SA.

On the line is across the line. Just like if a players toe touched the line during the game they would rules out of bounds. Thought that was just understood?
a fan grabbed Adams arm when he tried to get back into the play at the end

It isn't for inbounding though. You have to actually reach across the line for a ref to reset the 5s clock. I have never seen a ref stops the play just because a part of defender touches the line.
Holy shit lol. What a crazy last play.
I was watching a replay and was wondering who he was pissed at over there. That's not good at all.

These teams are fighting over who gets to lose to the Warriors in the next round.
Yes, it clearly affected the game. It should have been a technical foul. That and/or an out of bounds play for the Spurs. Clearly it had a very large impact.

As shit the refs were on the last play, the Spurs still forced a turnover and they had a timeout. So I think they still got what they wanted, the turnover. Else it would've been Durant shooting for two or something.
My interpretation was that stepping into the out of bounds area while someone is inbounding is a technical. Is there exact verbage for the distance a defender must keep because I'm pretty sure that what Ginobli was doing was, by any rules, not allowed (and he was certainly closer than 3'). Combine that with his penchant for flopping (i mean exaggerating) I can just see refs deciding on a no-call that actually worked in the Spurs advantage (as they got the ball in a scramble situation that resulted in an open jumper).
What the Spurs got was way better than an out of bounds play. They jus couldn't convert.
I strongly disagree but whatever.
Wat.
Literally 3 on 1. Compared to OKC setting their defense, communicating how to play any screens, getting their match ups right, etc. Like it's not even close.

I agree with the rule book but as i said I have never seen a ref calls for interference unless the defender actually reaches across the line. They are not going to make a call that normally wouldn't have been called at the end of the 4th quarter of a playoff game. Elbow on the chest on the other hands is different story.

A call would be nice but I agree with this. They had 10s on the clock, that's more than enough to do a few passes to find an open man. In stead they panicked and rushed the shot.
Didn't see the game, Danny Green's decision and pass was awful.
I can't believe OKC stole one in San Antonio, amazing hahahaha
Rule seems pretty clear - "...Until the passed ball has crossed the plane of the boundary, no player shall have any part of his person over the boundary line..."
Ginobli was the first to violate the rules. Doesn't matter than the elbow was "more egregious" (and certainly exaggerated by ginobli's penchant for the...uh...dramatic).

Forget the push that non lay up off the pass was completely bad. He ran past the rim a little.. You just don't go for that lay up. You just make that shot with complete urgency and will. I can't believe your wide open on a lob and for the game and dish off.
If he had a guy in front of him or a loose ball ok, but wow.. Lost the game for his team. That was the win, seeing that play unfold you basically new the spurs won, can't believe it. So many players would have gotten the score on that play.
I understand it's not the best pass but I still expect a jump a day lay up or reverse after the slight over positioning. This is an nba player and it isn't a tough play anyways.

It's not why they lost and even with my issues above you have a whoke game to win. Should have been a foul but it was in the spurs favor. You don't get a better chance than a steal at mud and two on one fast break. Spurs loss the game. No question about that. They need to do some half court fast break lay up drills apparently

He was everywhere. Watched it again, and he affected the pass, Mills indecision, and his close out on the 3.

Errr. Are you guys sure that was a fan and not mills?
I would take a Pop play out of a timeout 10/10 instead of attempting a fast break with Patty at the basket and the ensuing fuckball. They had awful possessions leading up to that moment, so no I didn't have faith that they wouldn't scramble. It should have been a tech on OKC regardless.Wat.

That's insanity. If Danny Green throws a normal pass it's a wide open layup.
Like c'mon breh. It's frustrating I get it, but that was a super simple play for SA that they didn't convert. I mean there's literally an OKC defender on his ass behind the ball lmao. The initial chaos broke perfectly for SA.

Then Pop should have called a timeout, which they had one of.
If Pop has midcourt ATO plays up his sleeve that get easier shots than this then he's the greatest strategist in the history of professional sports.
"alright fellas, after we inbound we're going with the one where four defenders are on the wrong side of the court. And Manu make sure to get that spilled Gatorade in the right spot so Durant falls on his ass"

I agree that they should have scored. I think I never would have considered passing to Patty but driven in deep and dishing to Manu. Patty was awful that whole 4th. Pop should have called a timeout when Patty had no room because they were far too frantic that whole play.If Pop has midcourt ATO plays up his sleeve that get easier shots than this then he's the greatest strategist in the history of professional sports.

Nice W for the Warriors.
The woman got bowled-over by Mills and she reacted by grabbing Adams' arm as she fell down.

Not that anyone was asking, but from this angle -

it looks like Waiters lost his balance, was falling forward, and pushed off Ginobili to avoid having to move his feet.

That was a crazy sequence! I'm glad OKC won, though, and they're going to be home for the next two games. Can't wait until Friday!
Not sure I understand you

It didn't look like Waiters was falling at all. Shove was pretty blatant.
