That reminded me of the Kings/Lakers game 6 from 12 years ago.

I like the clippers

Clippers shouldn't have been in that position. I think they had a 13 point lead with 4 min left?? Seems like teams can't close games anymore.

That was the most obvious rig job ever.

It all started when they gave DeAndre Jordan his 6th foul on that BS screen where a smaller guard flops.

Then the final stretch of officiating against LAC was just... wow

They were in that position because the refs made 4 consecutive horrendous calls against them. Sure the Clippers could have done things differently, but that was a 100% screw job.

100% screw job

Most obvious rigged finish I've ever seen in my life. The NBA sucks.

2002 Kings vs Lakers has some company now. Silver doing a great job picking up where that ***** Stern left it.

That out of bounds call was pretty bad (can't believe they didn't see it on the review), but holy hell did Chris Paul commit a comedy of errors

Chris Paul has had a stranger play-off.

Clips certainly blew that game and Doc is right at the top of that list as well for not calling a TO and settling his team down when OKC started the craziness (should have called a TO after the Durant 3).

Still, that was a serious screw job. The replay was the worst but the "foul" on the 3 by Westbrook was ridiculous as well. Then Paul gets hacked on the final play driving the lane and they swallow their whistle.

Horrible.

Tony brothers official statement on thunder ball with 11 seconds left:

"When the ball goes out of bounds, the ball was awarded to Oklahoma City. We go review the play. We saw two replays. The two replays we saw were from the overhead camera showing down, and the one from from under the basket showing the same angle but from a different view. And from those two replays it was inconclusive as to who the ball went out of bounds off of bounds off of. When it's inconclusive, we have to go with the call that was on the floor."

What a bull **** ruling. There are more than 2 camera angles in almost every replay, especially in inconclusive ones. Also the below the basket angle was NOT the same and it obviously showed that the ball rolled off of Jackson's right hand. This was the main angle showed on national television. I hate the clips just as much as the next guy, but this is ****ing ridiculous. I have a conspiracy theory that the replays available were the scoreboard guys faults. Just like in game 5 of the thunder's last series, the technicians didn't put a foul up to try to make the refs think MEM had a foul to give. So this time they have the refs the two most inconclusive angles available two influence the call. The thunder franchise is just total bull ****

The NBA gets what the NBA wants. They want OKC and Miami (Durant vs. Lebron) in the finals and they will do all they can to see that it happens.

When did Doc Rivers become considered as a good coach?

Probably when he won a championship. Not sure.

Before then they wanted to run him out of Boston.

I have no love lost for the Spurs, but seriously, I'd feel kinda helpless going into the series against OKC because of the reffing going on.

Nobody can win 8 on 5.

Without the refs, this game ending would have been boring.... Way to go refs!

no foul? fk you people talking about?

Most of the fouls I saw called last night were actual fouls. The problem I thought was that the officiating was not BALANCED. OKC got tons of calls that the Clippers did not have the benefit of at the other end. Case in point, the foul call at the end of the game on Westbrook, but no call on the Paul foul.

^ that's generally my complaint and seems to be the advantage of playing on your home court.

I mean there is pretty much a foul every trip down the court, but when one team can barely touch the other without getting a foul called it becomes ridiculous.

So simple bay, are you on the okc bandwagon because they have a better chance to beat the spurs or just arguing with the spurs fans about this since there is no argument about the lakers sucking right now?

Refs just blew the same call in the Miami-Brooklyn game just now. Clearly off of Pierce, but called it Nets ball because they were sorry they didn't call a foul on James.

League is such garbage it's unreal.

Man how many times does it have to be said..it was the correct call BOTH times...except for the foul non calls.

This has got to be fixed

This is 100% right. Lebron never touched the ball. He got all wrist.

Geez..the rule states that if a player hits the hand of another player and that hand is on the ball the player with the ball retains possession so you are 100% wrong.
