thank you

great win by OKC. donovan still a clown though.

I'm a bit confused though.  Manu's misstep would be a delay of game warning at worst right?  Also he was out, but Ginobili then reestablished himself in-bounds before the Waiters foul occurred.   Meanwhile Dion's offensive foul should've been possession changing.

If that happened to us on a throw in we would already have the protest written. Misapplication of throw In rule. If only to make a point

Dear reporters in San Antonio. Please ask to talk to the refs. One is supposed to be available to speak

Players defending the inbound pass have probably touched the line a thousand times. When has the inbound passer ever blatantly elbow the defender?

What's more of a violation, the line stepping or elbow? Dudes out here with their capes on trying to defend any and everything.

I think its possible Donovan didn't see it live or had seen a clip of it yet.

No way he didn't see it. He was trolling.

To him the Spurs could have been complaining about any number of things. So much happened at the end, everyone was focused on the ball. If he didnt see it live which is very possible, he probably got the hell out of there and im not sure if he would have walked into a locker room with clips of it showing. Or a guy coming up to him saying here look what happened on the inbounds. Idk he seemed genuine to me but its possible hes trolling. whatever.

 

[tekthemaestro]

Ginobli stepping out of bounds wouldn't alert the game. It's not like you get free throws off that. Nor is it intentional. That shove was some unheard of egregious **** that SHOULD'VE resulted in a turnover or more

 

[monstar]

Did they ask Pop why he let Patty Mills continue to run the offense at the beginning of the 4th, after the Spurs had gained some momentum to close out the 3rd? Patty lowkey cost yall this game, played like trash today.

Didnt understand why duncan closed out tonight as well. He is literally a non factor out there. Not sure what's more painful to watch his ineffectiveness or aldridge running down court full sprint lol

 

[Bert.]

You don't know basketball

It's common sense to anyone that dion waiters committed a foul/violation

Smh trolls on the site late tonight

I know plenty around basketball. Common sense? Im still waiting on the rule.

Were quick to get on waiters but manu clearly stepped out of bounds when defending the inbound. Refs always establish an invisible barrier for how close you can stand near inbounder and rule is constantly ignored but gets violated regularly. I honestly have no problem with the no call.

Use common sense and watch the whole play you will see multiple violations on that play alone but you want to pick and choose 1 lol

The rule? When has an bounding player ever been allowed to shove a player to give himself space??? It's never happened because it's a foul

Doesn't even need to be in a book, again common sense. People don't even attempt it because it's dumb and not basketball, it was a horrible no call. I'm sure ESPN will get a ref to explain

Keep pretending like I'm a spurs fan and I'm salty too. It's just dirty ugly basketball for someone to attempt a play like that and even worse for a ref to not call it

next game is on FRIDAY

NBA is the worst when it comes to playoff schedules

It shouldn't take two weeks to find out if a team is better than the other

2hour flight man

3 day break though

Exactly

 

[ii flash ii]

Being that Ginobli stepped on the line during the throw in, what would they call if the ref seen it?

 

[abubakr shaheed]

yeah im pretty sure a delay of game should have "technically" been called. looked like he made contact with waiters first as well.

either way i dont see how ppl can be THAT mad about a no call. spurs had the ball and a timeout.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The spurs got the ball, Danny green got away with a foul, they had a timeout, Manu had an open layup, Mills had a good look at a three, Aldridge had the rebound.

I don't wanna hear about waiters elbow

yes you do. It's a technical for touching the inbounder. And San Antonio was getting away with moving screens all night, TD and West just tackling Adams because they can't backout, and Mills/Leonard both have atrocious footwork receiving the ball and coming to a stop, especially off that curl motion play they run. I mean it's relatively inconsequential but sheesh, call it so dudes learn how to do it properly.

Warning yes but you only get 1. That usually gets wasted when a team touches the ball after scoring after tyebfirst warning the next is a tech.

 

[Peep Game]

That game was lost on more than that call though, so have at it. Zoom in on feet and whatnot

Patty Mills and Kawhi

 

[definition of dopeness]

Being that Ginobli stepped on the line during the throw in, what would they call if the ref seen it?

Pass interference.

CWebb is a terrible live color analyst.

He seriously needs to go back and stay in the NBATV and TNT studious.

What does his race have to do with anything tho?, people like you make me sick

SoHo, my dude...

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Oh AND Manu stepped on the line

No excuses here

Manu touches that line, the play is dead. Whistle blown, play reset, start over. That came BEFORE the elbow.

The refs missed that. They missed the elbow. They missed Kawhi pulling Westbrook's Jersey from behind. They missed Durant being fouled.

But the first violation came from Manu. Period.

 

[mgrand15]

You get a technical foul and the other team gets a FT for putting your toe on the line during an inbounds pass?? That's unbelievable.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Spurs lost
Deal with it
Can't wait for the next game
Series is lit

 

[monstar]

Exactly

Whats more of a violation? Lol both plays gave either side an unfair advantage which is when the whistle is blown. Lol live with the no call. This isn't james hardens gw jumper against gsw which was a pushoff. Move on

A violation is a violation but I get what your saying tho.
