Is it still considered clutch if it's an entire elimination game?

Not sure that it would have been overruled though the way the refs are calling the game so far.


Yeh I thought it was a clear cut charge but he still shouldn’t have challenged.

CJ picked up 2 absolutely horrible calls to get his 5th but Green had wasted his challenge

Do we still want to pretend Paul still isn't a superstar caliber player?

Valajunis sucks defensively, he’s so bad at switches, Paul just shoots over him nice and comfortably.

Terrible calls against the pelicans tonight.

Every second playoff game it seems like one team is just getting a super favourable whistle this year, so frustrating to watch neutral games, and I've watched almost every playoff game this year thanks to waiting to finish up at my job in AUS so I have nothing but time while I wind down

They are basically losing the game on offensive rebounds, they have attempted 12 fewer FGA, but only have two more turnovers. They are -8 in offensive rebounds, 9-1, gotta rebound.


And turnovers. Settling for jumpshots. And pelicans were just getting all the favorable bounces in the first half.

I don't think they would have overturned the Crowder one, refs sometimes don't like to be reasonable about the incidental contact

He's just too slow so he has to back off or he will go right by him. Pelicans need to probably go under and force paul to take long jumpers

Congratulations to the referees tonight, they are about to close this one out. It was good while it lasted Pelicans fans.

Work hard to get a higher seed next year, hopefully Zion is healthy ready to go at the start of the year.

At the end of the day, that's the house Chris Paul built. :cry:

How was it a charge? Crowder was in the air when the defender slid over. Have you allow a player to land in that situation
