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.

This is a huge problem.

Unless OKC is playing Miami, you can't breathe within 6 inches of them without being called for a foul. That's exactly what happened in 2012 where the Spurs were called for tons of touch fouls and then OKC went to the Finals and all of a sudden Harden's flailing didn't work, Ibaka's goaltends were getting called, and Miami was allowed to body up Durant.

Dude you reaaaaaallly can't get over blowing that 2-0 lead two years ago. You have plenty of titles, figured that would mellow some of you guys out.

are hand and wrist/arm the same thing?

Nba officials confirmed that the out of bounds call was correct; fricking ridiculous.

what's ridiculous about it?

While the ball clearly was pushed out of Jackson's left hand by Barnes (which is ball on hand contact), the ball deflected off his right hand which was not touching the ball. So it was very obvious that it should have been clippers ball

both of Jackson's hands were on the ball at the time and while it does appear his right hand touches the ball it is more than reasonable to arrive at the inconclusive decision even without taking into consideration the intent of the "hand on ball/hit hand rule.

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.

This is 100% correct. Now, that's not the reason the refs made the call they made, so their call is still ridiculous. They ended up making the correct call, but it was for the wrong reason. There is an argument that because the ball hit the other hand, the rule should not apply. But it's not really clear what happens in that case. I'm guessing they will clarify that in the rule book before next season.

Plus I don't see how you can get that upset over the call anyways, since it was a terrible no call to begin with. It should have been a foul. If the refs were good, Jackson would have gotten 2 free throws. The refs are bad, so it ended up being OKC ball.

Lebron shot more free throws than the entire Brooklyn squad. Seems legit.

How was Adams fouled on that shot???

Jordan touches Westbrook to dives to get the bs foul bail out.

Anyone else seriously consider no longer watching the NBA due to refs? Joey Crawford is bad enough by himself, but really these recent games that didn't even involve him have been ridiculous.

Wow. Griffin gets his 6th foul on a great blocked shot of Westbrook.

Why the **** do the refs protect OKC so much? I don't think Miami gets this many calls.

---

Missed that forearm to Westbrooks dome huh?

Pahdz, just realize that if OKC happens to make it past SA in this series, y'all didn't deserve it. Everyone knows OKC gets all the calls, and the refs hate the big bad Spurs

I already don't watch anyone but the Spurs because it's so bad.

I'm swearing off even looking in the series thread because I know that's what it'll be.

That kind of refing is absolutely why OKC will never beat the Heat for a title. Don't get bail out calls. The Thunder may win a title before they split up, but it won't be by beating the Heat with Lebron and Wade.

If the refs are cool, this series will be fine too. If they treat the Spurs like they did 2 years ago against OKC, it will look like any Rockets game thread and be littered with complaints.
