2016 NBA Playoff Thread

We don't know that the shove wouldn't have occurred if they had blown the whistle and begun again.

If someone's toe crossing the line allows the offensive player to elbow the defender in the chest, then my open gym just got a lot more interesting.

Yeah but him crossing the line came first. That should have been called and OKC could have ran a different inbounds. Hell if San Antonio had a previous delay of game, it would have been a FT for OKC.
 
These incorrect calls are not even in the same stratosphere.

And like I said, had the correct call been made, it would have resulted in more than just the Spurs getting the ball: they would have shot a FT. So the fact that they still managed to steal the ball is irrelevant.

I don't know how you can watch that replay and not think that the ref completely ****ed up. Charles, Kenny, Shaq, and Webber were all completely baffled during the live feed. They all said they have never seen anything like this.

Completely disagree. If someone is crossing the line while guarding you for an inbounds, that is just as bad as the inbounder pushing off said defender (who is illegally too close).

If the correct call is made, the Thunder get to reset. They might have even had a FT if they had been whistled for a previous delay of 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)

Pretty sure it's like 3 feet of space.
 
There was a much better angle on the replay that showed him clearly crossing the line before Waiters pushed off.
Ya and in that picture not only is gino over the line but he is way too close to waiters anyway. I got no problem with waiters trying to clear some space if the refs don't do their job and back ginobli off of waiters.

I got heat winning in 6 or 7.
I really like the heat roster and how they fit together.

The fact of the matter is this....Westbrook palms the ball so flagrantly, that you can back off of him 5, 6, 7 feet....and he will STILL blow by you with his speed! You didn't actually think the Spurs were going to keep both Westbrook and Durant in check two games in a row, did you? This series is probably going to go 7 games.
 
Any idea where Duncan and Parker are? I watched the entire game last night and didn't see them play. Some guy that sort of looked like Duncan scored 2 pts.

If that's all Duncan can manage now don't you have to roll with west or Diaw and move LA to the 5?

Yeah, and I've never been totally sold on Toronto.

I also just want to see Miami vs Cleveland in the East Finals. It would be interesting to see LeBron going up against his old team.

lol nice prediction after the Spurs lose at home. No one gives a ****.

This is how you make a prediction: Spurs in 5. Kanter scores a bucket for the Spurs.

I'm watching on my dvr and there was a play in the first quarter when barbosa turned on the jets... He was moving as fast as I have ever seen.

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.

Anyone catch that chick in the stands trying to hold back Adams at the end of the game?

Imagine if The Spurs would have scored - only would have added to that complete mess of an ending.
