Hilarious that of all the blown calls they choose to "acknowledge" this one (as if that does anything). The only reason it was an issue is because they replayed it in slow motion 1,000 times. In real time it looked like a swipe and CP3 embellishing a little to draw the call (he would never!!!). So yea, it was probably a foul, but with Paul's history of selling calls I can see how the no call happens in that situation. It wasn't nearly as blatant as a lot of people make it out to be.

Actually I think the ref didn't call it because he thought the ball was out on the Warriors, which was he original call made, so he was probably thinking instead of letting a foul be the deciding factor, give them back the ball, but of course, the replay showed otherwise and there was no way for it to be changed.

It really is a flaw in the system. The moment they didn't call the foul they were forced to give Golden State the ball.

I've seen it happen a dozen times or more. Its pretty silly they haven't addressed it yet. Not only are you forcing the wrong team to have possession but you are making the ref, announcers and fans sit here and watch it repeatedly in slow motion as they say "well, they can't call the foul now..."

Hopefully Silver touches on it soon.

I actually think there should be no replays. Just let human error take hold and have the same impact at all moments of the game. All plays are equal so it doesn't really make much sense that plays can only be reviewed in the last two minutes of the game and overtime.

Blake needs to come into the game with much better focus.

Both teams didn't play great, the refs were horrible on both sides (Blake & Iggy)and the inconsistencey of calls just screwed up the game.

Got to go forward and Press the Warriors until they concede or lose 4 games.

I tend to agree but sadly sports will never revert to that. We will only have more replay in the NBA and other sports moving forward.

There could be a lot of plays that needed to be replayed, but the one pouring water on fans is not one of them.

Game 1 had to be the worst officiated playoff game I've ever seen in my life.

Seems the media has gone split on the Paul foul last game.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
