I will never forget this game. It's pretty fucking obvious the NBA is rigged, they do it every single fucking year.

I miss 90's basketball, I really do.
As doogles said, there is no such thing as actual basketball anymore, the amount of 3 point fouls is appaling

^^This. For me, the NBA just died sometime in the late 90's and hasn't been the same since.

The rule clearly states that if a player loses the ball out of bands and its caused by contact from the other team that its the player's team's ball. At least thats what NBA TV mentioned. Seems pretty clear cut to me. But like Road said, the 3 point phantom call was total BS. Paul didn't even touch him.

How is this a phantom foul?

I stand correct but if you touch a guy its a foul?

On the arm while shooting? Yes. That is probably the easiest, most universal call there is. Touch a shooters arm and it's a foul every single time.

The CP3 was a foul but the call on the Reggie Jackson play was an abortion. Clippers most definitely shot themselves in the foot way too many times but that call was huge. I don't care if Jackson was fouled, they didn't call it so the replay should have been about who the ball went off of not "oh wow he was fouled and the ball was clearly off him so lets just make up for it by giving them the ball and call in inconclusive"

Fuck that shit.

Obviously APAG was too young to remember Tim Donaghy. Let me introduce him to you.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Donaghy

Born in the Philadelphia suburb Havertown, Pennsylvania, Donaghy attended Cardinal O'Hara High School in Springfield, Pennsylvania[4] along with three other NBA referees: Joe Crawford, Mike Callahan, and Ed Malloy.[10]

I love that a ref who was busted for rigging games went to the same high school as Joey Crawford who is involved in a ton of shady games yet the NBA continues to trot him out there.

1) The Bastard Sonics had 17 free throws in the first quarter? Without gift wrapping them trips to the line they would have been blown out of the game by halftime.

2) That CP3 gif that APAG put up there is actually great. Looks like CP3's arm was straight up to me. When I first saw the play, the first thing that went through my head was "that wasn't a foul." The second thought through my head was that the refs bailed out Westbrook for taking a TERRIBLE shot.

It really was an awful shot. Down by 2 and he settles for a contested 3 pointer with like 6 seconds to go???? Westbrook is all about hero ball. Very fortunate the Clippers have a racist owner so the league wants them gone ASAP.

Since it looks like the Thunder will be beating My Clippers now I am now rooting for G-Pop (I like to call him G-Pop). Never thought I would see the day where I wanted the Spurs to plunger a team.
