    By letter of the law, yes, it was a violation. I don't think a toe on the line is egregious enough to call. A foot, yes. Two feet, definitely. A toe? I'd let it go.

    Why are these 2 minute reports even relevant?

    All they do is incite fans and piss off players.

    Players step on the line all the time. But technically what Manu did was a violation. I don't think that's as egregious as what Waiters did, but look, the Spurs did come up with the ball thanks to Green also getting away with a foul on Durant. San Antonio just failed to capitalize on the final play.

    And as an avid Spurs hater, I always love to see them lose in the playoffs.

    Still can't believe the Spurs didn't win after being gifted that horrible turnover.

    I agree, this loss isn't a big deal.

    As for that final play...there were about 4 or 5 violations that the refs missed (or deliberately didn't call). Some on the Thunder, some on the Spurs, even a possible courtside fan interference. Nobody got robbed.

    Bottom line, The Spurs had their chance in the final secs. to call a TO and they blew the opportunity. I still see the Spurs taking this in 6. LMA is on another level this series, reminiscent of when he destroyed us 2 yrs ago, Spurs will win one of the next 2 in OKC.

    By letter of the law, it should've been a technical. But I'd equate Ginobili's toe on the line to speeding by 2 mph. It wasn't that egregious of a violation.

    The fan grabbing Adams is being overblown. He bowled into her, she's trying to keep her balance by holding onto anything. She's not holding Adams to impede him.

    The Thunder seem like a powder keg ready to explode on each other. I hate to think of that locker room if they had lost game 2.
