Phil Jackson thinks Chris Paul got away with violations on buzzer beater

Man, the only thing I hate about Paul is how he flops all around the court then tries to man up against the likes of Marc gasol.

 

That play wouldn't be called a pushoff even if it was the Sacramento Kings.

 

Ok, I went and found it and watched it. I have to agree with Phil Jackson, that was an egregious push-off. If Jordan's push-off was a foul, this should be a flagrant or something. I know it's the end of the game and the refs want to swallow their whistles, but they shouldn't let offensive players get away with murder.

At 0:06 Jordan pushes Russell's ass (right side) and almost sends him flying.

 

I always hate that "swallowing the whistle at the end of the game" notion. Why do you want to officiate the game differently according to the clock? If it's a foul it's a foul. If it's not a foul, then don't call in the whole game.

By changing the rule at a certain time of the game, they are advantaging certain kind of style of play and that's unfair.

 

yes it was a push off but Tony Allen was fouling as well, he had a whole arm across Chris's chest at one point...

right no call from the refs...

 

That's an offensive foul for sure.

 

Not that big of a foul, probably should have doubled him.

DD

 

I've definitely seen worse. Not a big problem with a no-call on Paul.

I do think they should have called the foul on Griffin.

 

He definitely pushed off, but I think Jordan's push-off was worse and a much easier call for the refs to make.

 

I personally think what CP3 did just fine. NBA needs to go back a men sport. This no contact, flopping **** needs to go.

 

Watching Chris Paul on offense AND defense is the same as watching a fish that has leapt from its fishbowl and is now flailing on the ground.

Flop City.

 

Which is ironic since Chris Paul is one of the biggest no-contact floppers out there.

 

Isolated, I'm ok with the way the game ended. However, given Paul's antics throughout this series, and his entire career, it's crap that he's allowed to get away with this over and over again. I'm sick of that whole Clippers team flopping and mean-mugging their way through the season.

 

Cool story bro.
Now go back to being a good b**** and choking on Kobe's dick.
****ing Faker fan.

I'm so glad to see that your IDOL is DOWN FOR THE COUNT.

 

jordan does it all the time, if we can still do it today, lebron would score 50 a game.

 

Considering Brooklyn is a mile over the luxury threshold and you can't do a s&t acquisition if you are, what do you suppose Brooklyn is going to do? trade half their team for nothing?

 

six of one, half a dozen of the other.

 

This coming from the dude who claimed that complaining about the refs is a "sign of weakness" and real teams don't let the refs decide games...

 

Why he never said this, after Game 6 against the Kings in 2002??

Especially after kobe elbowed Bibby in the last minute of the game?
