Aren't you supposed to have a 3 ft bubble as an inbounder or is that something that I'm making up?

It's something you're making up. He can't cross the boundary, which he did. But you get to get up in their grill.

Man tonight's game served as a really start reminder of why the NBA is kind of a joke sport. Taking a really really good game and then just blatantly ruining it by rubbing everyone's noses in the fact that officiating is mostly Kayfabe just makes me stop caring entirely. What the gently caress is even the point of having good games if they're rendered meaningless, there's no way I'll remember this game for anything but a ref standing 3 feet from half a dozen fouls (possibly even technical in some cases) and just acting like Mr. loving Magoo

I am not an SA or an OKC fan but I was having a great time watching this and now my immersion is ruined bloo

refs will hand OKC several games, as they need it to go 7. noone likes to watch the spurs club dopes over the head.

Getting the ball out of bounds with a timeout probably would have been preferable. Maybe that's just me being results oriented.

If it would have resulted in freethrows it obviously would have helped more but I'm still not sure what that call is supposed to be, I think not though.

Obviously the foul on Aldridge would have been the best call for the Spurs that would missed, as those would definitely be freethrows with 2 or so seconds left.

A fast break is way better than an out of bounds play.

Life, friends, is boring

quote:

Billy Donovan, the Oklahoma City coach, turned a question from a reporter about the play into an awkward, minute-long back-and-forth in which he ultimately pleaded ignorance about the whole thing: “I’m not sure what you’re talking about,” he said.

Waiters shook his head when asked if he realized he had elbowed Ginobili: “No,” he said. “I’m in the game, man. I don’t really know what really going on.”

Waiters is innocent!

Until it becomes a shoot. You shoot straight with the truth, you shoot the basketballs, and you shoot at a mother of 4 like Javaris Crittendon
