    How about when Evans raises his hand for the foul? And what’s is Lou saying to the ref, even if it protects his man from fouling out?

    "The Rockets officially filed a protest of Friday's game in which a Los Angeles Clippers player should have been disqualified with 3:10 left, a person with knowledge of the protest said Sunday."

    "Clippers guard Jawun Evans committed a sixth foul, but it was incorrectly given to teammate Lou Williams. An NBA spokesman on Saturday confirmed that the league was aware of the error."

    It's not really a big problem. You either let the call stand (giving Lou the foul, even though it's a mistake), or call it on the nearest defender, kind of like giving a basket to the nearest offensive player if a guy put the ball in his own basket.

    Both of these options are much preferred to not being able to correct an obvious mistake.

    yep either that or I'll be happy if they learned their lesson and think twice before blatantly cheat another NBA team in the future

    LOL, yeah, you'd be behind that until it happens in a playoff game where they assign it to the nearest guy who happened to have 5 fouls and thus is ejected from the game. And that player was a Houston Rockets player thus in an absurd irony, we end up on the short end of the stick again.

    I hate these shut up and Play ass fans. When McHale was criticizing Harden for "not being a leader" they were the same ones saying he shouldn't have responded. Spineless p*****s.

    What about just let the call stand? What so bad about it? Everybody is already seeing the mistake whether you can correct it or not. You do not want to correct some simple mistakes just to avoid some possible rare situations?

    I wonder if LBJ will be criticising the officiating too. NBA is suppose to be the premier league, need to lift officiating that befits its status.

    No fine for Harden for this? Somewhat surprising, or maybe they just haven't gotten around to it?
