2016 NBA Playoff Thread

Kenny Smith just called it the worst non call in a playoff game he's seen in at least the past five years.

Magic took it a step further

Spurs should stop sooking, they still got the damn ball !!! The screwed the last possession all by themselves

The worst missed call .. Magic is such a drama queen. The worst missed call is the blantant Jordan push off
 
Gonna be honest, Refs were favoring us that whole game. I'm feeling a gentlemans sweep coming due to that Ginobili foul. Adams was beasting the whole game though, very much liked what I saw in him tonight, but he's been pretty great all year.

All this is going to do is fire the Spurs all the way up. Not a good win in my books, but a playoff win either way I guess.
 
I like not calling timeouts and just letting them play but in a situation where you're defending an inbound play and it turns into a havoc play I'd prefer to call the TO with 7 seconds left and set up a play but can't question the Spurs...
 
Does the NBA have even a shred of credibility left after that last possession?

I think we're all missing the point here. The ****ing spurs lost, at home, in the playoffs. This is a good night people. Sure, the refs botched that inbounds play. But, the spurs aren't going to turn down an open corner three ftw in that situation. I think we can call out the refs for their terrible call but, just sayin that the spurs came out ahead in that situation and blaming that game on the refs, from their stupid yokel perspective, is poor form.
 
Look at his foot.

Duncan.. 1-8. Malone will be always the best PF ever
Looks out of bounds to me.
What happened at the end that has everyone so fired up? I only saw the first half.

I'd rather the Spurs win than the Thunder.
Ya. I get it. The Spurs, for me tho, have been in please ****ing just die mode for like 15 years now. There's no team I hate more. Jordan's bulls could beat them and I would be happy.

15 seconds or so to go and Waiters was inbounding and forearmed Manu...should've been SA ball but SA had their chance

Thanks for the response. I just watched the highlight on espn.
A. Didn't gino crossed the out of bounds line and wasn't giving waiters any room? (I don't know the rule on this but I think you are not allowed to cross the out of bounds line when defending the inbounder and you have to give the inbounder a bit of room)
B. Didn't the spurs steal the ball on the inbounds?

Spurs did steal the ball and had 13 seconds or so, I don't feel bad for them....

People are saying that a shove like that from out of bounds should result in a technical, which would have allowed the Spurs to tie it up AND given them the ball. We'll see what the NBA says the official call should have been though.

And let's not act like them stealing the ball on that chaotic frenzy is the same thing as getting to run a set play.

The point is that an obvious shove occurred right in front of the ref and he did nothing; Manu's toe crossing the line for a second doesn't negate that. It was as obvious a call you could ask for that determined the outcome of a playoff game.

I disagree. Often teams don't call a timeout because they don't want the defense to get set. iirc mills got a wide open three on that last play. (I could be wrong about that but I think he did)
Also, couldn't they have called a timeout and run a set play?

Is there a rule about giving the inbounder a certain amount of space to inbound the ball? (I have no idea)
