The NBA Playoffs/Thunder/Blake Thread

snydrosooner said:
Blake pushed sef all the way to the basket and was probably a foul under normal NBA rules. But how they have been allowing them to play in this years playoffs, its not a foul you can call.

Both teams are constintly using moving screens. they only seem to call it when the ball handler actually makes contact with the person getting screened. Perkins, Griffen, Ibacka, big baby, and jordan would all foul out before halftime if they called every moving screen.

Watch when Blake does pick and role, Alot of times he roles and starts doing another screen before he is even set or does not screen long enough and starts moving right away.. This is technically by defnition a moving screen. But everyone does it.

I agree with all of this.

I don't disagree that Paul fouled. I just think they should have called the same contact at the end.

I wouldn't have complained if Paul had been called for it Game 7 against the Warriors.

I am biased, I know that.

Frustrated they lost. Lot of the blame goes on the Clippers. Just harder to swallow when the refs add to it.
 
doesn't look like a slight graze to me. Looks like what I said, his palm was on his forearm

there wasn't "the same contact at the end"
 
You don't think he was fouled?

It wasn't the exact same contact but when someone reaches and pulls your arm back, that is a foul.

I agree with this, for the most part. An NBA game isn't over until the whistle blows. You have to keep scoring to win. Even still, the Thunder needed a whole lot to happen, so I don't think it was too big of a deal for LA to slow it down and milk the clock. An offensive foul on a screen and a turnover at mid-court are things that you can't do in that situation. If you are going to run clock, you can't turn the ball over like that.

Regarding the "controversial" calls:

1) The reggie jackson play was as clear a foul as they come. The refs screwed up big-time by not calling it, and I think that is part of the reason they didn't overturn possession. They knew they screwed up, and someone was going to be mad either way, so why overturn the original call? Rivers can whine all he wants, but his guy got away with an obvious foul. If the refs had called it right, Jackson would have tied it up on the line anyway. The refs just gave the Clips another chance to get a stop and win the game, but Chris Paul blew that chance.

2) Chris Paul's 3-pt foul. You can't bump a jump-shooters elbow and ***** about it being a ticky-tack call. If the refs see it, they call it every time. Sometimes they don't see it, but that's a different story. Paul gambled, and it was stupid on his part to do so. Seemed pretty clear that he bumped the elbow, so don't blame the refs for making the call. Pretty clear, indeed. Westbrook doesn't miss that badly without some sort of foul.

Totally agree on both 1) and 2). And I like both teams, so not much partisanship on my part.

Sorry BrettRomar, you sound like a disgruntled fan. There were bad calls on both teams all night. But for the replay officials to ignore Barnes' clear foul and award possession to the Clippers on the out of bounds play would be to reward the foul. Seemed to be a makeup call, for sure.

That is fine, I wouldn't have a problem with that if they did the same in the Clippers Warriors Game 1. Clear foul, but replay showed out of bounds to the other team. They knocked Paul down but got the ball out of bounds off the replay reversal. You can't just change how you are going to call this each series. That makes it a waste of time.

If they had called that one the same way, I wouldn't have a problem with this one. It is much the same if they are calling the foul on the shot, you call the grab on the arm when Paul tried to score at the end.

I might be a disgruntled fan, but all of my friends from other teams all called or text me saying that was a complete joke. The only people I have seen that thought it was not during that game were Thunder fans. Just my observation.

I have said several times that I don't have a problem with the foul on westbrook or that ruling if they did the same in a previous series.

Just ready for this series to be over one way or the other. Hearing the same things about the Clippers I heard two years ago about the Heat. Flopping, refs are cheating, they get away with murder on the Thunder guards, fouling Durant a lot. Same stuff just a different team. That is part of being a fan. I don't have a problem with it.

A very similar play happened in Miami game. Miami player slapped the wrist and knocked the ball out of bounds from a Nets player. Ball was awarded to the nets initially and during the review.

Not exact same as RJ but similar.
