    I disagree with this. It's a play that would not be reviewed if the ball had not gone out of bounds, resulting in a dead ball. The only thing being reviewed was the call that was made. Retroactively applying fouls gives refs too much power to effect games, especially when foul calls themselves are so subjective.

    Come on, it was clearly a foul. Look at the fouls Blake got for 5 and 6 and look at the non-call here. YOu can't have it both ways, esp. in a game this close.

    That was clearly a foul. Fair is fair, he reached crossed his body and hit him at the same time. If you could do that every play perimeter players would be lucky to ever get to the paint.

    Chris Paul gives a 'State Farm' style assist to the Warriors by missing his free throws...then the fans start streaming out of the Arena. They must've been Lakers fans jumping off the Clippers Bandwagon!

    foul outs are great, people only complain when a star gets fouled out, and yet a lesser known guy gets fouled it and no one cares.

    not getting fouls is a skill as well

    It's the same in football. I think missed calls are part of the game, so to call or reverse a foul based on review would ruin the pureness of the sport.

    I will bet 500 as usual and might double down at the half as I did in this game. Gotta bet big to win big.

    too nervous to take the warriors when live betting had them at +11 1/2, still too nervous when it was +7 1/2, didn't even take them when it was warriors -3 1/2, but - 5 1/2? sure why not! -.- i hate gambling.

    His flopping practice at the State Farm studios did NOT pay off this game.

    :grin:

    So much fail today by the nba. The game with no shot clock and the game where the officials got more screen time than the stars.

    Your team will be fine. GSW barely won with Griffin (plus/minus of +9) not even playing half the game.

    On the flip side, notice GSW was better with Iguodala not being on the court. He usually doesn't get into foul trouble so he'll play more minutes the rest of the series.

    Isn't it better for the sport to get it right, if you are going to waste 5 minutes to review it? Come on, if this happened to you guys you'd be pissed off too. It's just a bad rule.

    It's an easy call with replay. It's not so easy to make in real time with less than two minutes left when a guy that sells every bit of contact and non contact that comes his way is involved.

    Fouls make up a good portion of strategy throughout the game.
