If there was ever a case for a ref to get disciplined, this is it. Reminds me of the 2002 Lakers - Kings game 6. When you play GSW, it's 5-8. Luckily our cook is the best chef in the kitchen.
That was actually the right call. If you watch it again, Capela's hand comes under Green's arm and knocks the ball out. But this no-call is one of the most ridiculous in the history of the NBA. I don't know if it's rigged...but it's sure as hell hard to make an argument against blatant cheating when something like that is missed by 2 refs.
I'd love to see a replay of it again. When I saw it in slow motion last night, I saw another hand coming through that wasn't Green's. If someone can find the play, that would be helpful...
This wasn't a playoff game, so it absolutely was not the worst call ever. Michael Finley's play was farrrrrr worse and had actual consequences.

Easily the worst no-call I have ever seen. Normally you can kind of explain how they miss a play... but I have nothing on this one. It was just awful.
this was easily a bigger missed call. doesn't matter what the circumstances are. a horrendous obvious missed call is a horrendous obvious missed call
Didn't say it wasn't horrendous call, but if I'm ranking bad calls, I'm ranking ones that impact playoff games/chances over a regular season game in early January. Circumstances are relevant, IMO.
Not the most impactful blown call because it wasn't a playoff game and we won anyway, but definitely the worst call ever in terms of actual level of ridiculousness. Even Brian Scalabrine on the radio this morning said it was the worst blown call he's ever seen in ANY sport and laughed about it. It's just so bad it doesn't make sense. The equivalent in football would be them awarding a catch to a receiver after the ball bounced off the ground and he picked it up.
not to me. you miss a call that terrible, it doesn't really matter what happens outside of that. the actual issue is the call. Not what happens before or after. Just because Harden made a miraculous shot, doesn't make the missed call better. It's ridiculously pathetic whether he made or miss the game winner
Too me it looked like Danuel House hit it out of his hands. Everyone was just too focused on Harden in replay.
Has anyone read anything this morning from ESPN about that missed call? All I heard from them was how the Warriors players said they "gave" the game away after a 20 point lead.
Agreed. I do like how Harden and the Rockets were so focused this game that they didn't complain much at all at the calls until of course The Missed Call happened
Agreed. It was either House or Capella whose hand came from behind and knocked it out of bounds. I remember watching the replay and thinking that the commentators were wrong and that the refs had called it right.
