    Had that call been made, Curry probably would have not played in Game 4 and got injured.

    Would be nice if they rescinded GSW 2015 NBA Title due to abundant evidence of illegal screens through out the entire Playoffs.

    I'm sure this has been covered in the time-appropriate post about this, but worth pointing this out again.

    The offensive possession immediately prior to this one resulted in a turnover because iggy held Beasley, preventing him to get to the ball and allowing golden state to get the steal and fast break. There should never have been a need for a last second shot.

    Not surprising that ESPN doesn't look at the complete picture, instead going with what seems more sensational and more likely get clicks. Stay sucka free, ya'll.

    Obviously the article is super old, but it's interesting that ESPN neglects to mention that the same report says Beasley gets fouled on the play where Clark got the layup to give GS the lead

    After further review of officials' calls the league has found that the Warriors only won 50 games. 23 of their wins were taken away due to illegal screens in which Bogut and Green fouled out mid way in the second quarter.

    An asterisk has been added to their win total which supposedly made them the greatest team of all time.

    It was disgusting to watch both Bogut and Green hack, hammer and move on screens with impunity. They're getting away with it in the Blazers series too.

    NBA report actually called that.

    3 calls went Warriors' way, two went Rockets' way, one of which was trivial.

    Rockets should not have been in that spot - but even so, the play that gave GSW the lead was a missed call.

    Media :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I saw that. It's telling that ESPN had the full L2M report and focused on the last missed call without mentioning the missed call that cause it.

    Not just BSPN - everybody. Facebook was afire with the Harden links. Not one of them bothered to read the actual report. I posted the report and called my entire friends' list sheep. I wasn't very popular that day.
