Should a foul have been called on Klay before Curry got all ball?

    if they're not going to call that game 1 Iggy slap on harden's arm which we heard on TV then don't even try this especially at the end of the game.

    It is obviously a foul but remember, according to ESPN it is hard to officiate Harden.

    In all honest there is no way they blow the whistle and to be honest the refs were probably looking at the ball.

    As I sat on my friend's couch at the end of the game waiting for BSPN for different angles on that last play, they were stalling and hesitant to replay for some reason.

    It took them idk how long but it was unusually longer than normal to replay that last sequence. Such bull****.

    Doesn't matter. Too late now. Can't dwell on it. We've got a must win in less than 48 hrs.

    I love how the ref is staring straight at Thompson's arm wrapped around Harden.

    If you are expecting the refs to whistle this which was AFTER Harden lost the ball and in th e last 2 seconds of the game then you are dreaming. No ref would whistle this. Not anyone.

    Howard bad decition, he should've drived and finished since there was only two defenders and 3 our players including Dwight.

    He got away with a similar hold at the end of game one with less than a minute left during a loose ball situation. He grabbed and held Josh Smith so that he couldn't grab a loose ball that would have led to a transition opportunity.

    Same thing with that out of bounds play. We tied up the game, pressured them on defense, it goes out of bounds because of Curry and the refs called it Warriors ball. THEN they scored easily, at the bucket on an uncontested layup from a drawn up out of bounds play. Both games.

    If you are expecting the refs to whistle this which was AFTER Curry lost the ball and in the last 2 seconds of the game then you are right. Every ref would whistle this. Every one. :p

    We wouldn't argue either because we are used to it. We would be screaming why did Harden grab him? He didn't need to. Terry already knocked it out of his hands.

    NBA SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO IMPLEMENT A CHALLENGE FLAG SYSTEMS FOR PLAYS LIKE THIS!!!

    I don't know exactly how many you get per game or oer half... but maybe have a challenge flag system in the 4th quarter of the game and maybe each coach gets 3?

    Is it possible.... that since Curry is the MVP, so the NBA will protect him and his team? They want to see Golden State in the Finals to cap off an amazing season?

    It's all fixed it seems.

    I guarantee you if the above was Lebron instead of Harden, Lebron would have got the foul call and he'd be shooting 2 free throws.

    All fouls and calls in the last 2 min should be able to get changed/reversed.

    That was not a foul, and I'm glad they didn't call anything, that was just great defense and Harden should've went for the shot had he recognised the double team.

    with that still you cant tell, watching it on replays no its not. harden already lost the ball.

    no time out, dwight passing back to a double team, ariza not hustling, and james missing tjones. any one of those things changing and we would have had a victory. no more ifs, MUST win next 2.

    remember, WE HAVENT LOST 3 IN A ROW ALL YEAR

    Not sure that was a foul but they have officiated the game towards the Warriors in all 2 so far for sure. Earlier, Howard and Bogut are battling, Bogut falls over, Howard gets hit in the head, foul on Howard.
