    You are right, from the gif there Curry did not initiate contact. He just flopped. Flop city flop city flop city

    Funny how Curry and the Warriors have flopped and flailed around more than Paul and the Clips this postseason.

    then it makes zero sense to go for the three...with 7 seconds left in the game, you go for the final shot, and you hope for a clean look. You dont just rush something and hope for a miraculous tip in by a teammate. You just dont have that much time.

    I am not rooting for anyone now that the rockets are all but eliminated. I just want to see exciting basketball. This is the playoffs and i want to see the stars tale over. It is funner that way.

    He did...watch as he sticks his midsection / hip out onto C. Paul's forearm & at the same time throws his elbow into CP3's swinging arm as he's shooting...it's obvious.

    They had no problem calling that blocking foul on Green though.

    As usual, the problem with the NBA refs is they are inconsistent.

    Also it is just some backwards logic that you'd call the game differently in the last seconds.

    If you're Steph Curry, a step-back 3 is not a bad shot. Plus he got fouled. Of course you can second guess it now because it was a miss, but thats r****ded.

    In all honesty, yeah, by the the letter of the book that's a foul but Curry is also trying to sell it (note he fell down on the previous three he made). If this were CP3 doing the same thing, yall would be talking about how he is a huge flopper.

    Also, since you guys watch Harden so much you are probably just used to seeing weak ass foul calls.

    I think the warriors deserved to be in it and they had a chance to win. They mad some crazy shots. They didnt get the calls when i started watching in the second half.

    So now we are homers and crybabies for simply disagreeing with the most crucial call of the game? The nba will aplogize again. I bet you were saying cp3 was not fouled too.

    I never said I agreed with the system. Its just how things work. I think the reffing system is ridiculously flawed and I think refs are horrible. I think there need to be major changes but it is what it is.

    CP3 knew he would get away with that. It was a crafty and devious move.

    Yo seemed so certain a minute ago. Your homerism is showing and stop complaining about flops man. Show some decency and take pride in your team working the officials.

    You dont even know what you are arguing about yet you keep rambling like a bipolar patient off lithium. My point was clear. The Clippers played extremely well in a hostile environment and were up by a lot. And if it werent for Curry's miraculous shots, they would have lost by a bigger margin. What are you even rambling about?

    GSW got tons of calls in the 4th. In fact, they were the only one getting any calls until the end-- the Clippers didn't even draw their first foul in the 4th until there were a few minutes left. Jamal had a spectacular block that they called a foul. Iggy had a pretty questionable and-1. And there was that CP3 shot that should have definitely been a three shot foul with a few seconds left in the game.

    It was definitely a foul no doubt about it but they blatantly missed the call on CP3 in game 1 which resulted in a 4 point swing. So yea don't feel bad at all. As far as I am concerned its even.

    I never said I agreed with the reffing. I think we can all agree that nba refs are terrible.

    Again...Harden gets to the line by driving not jumpshots. He's not LMA. If he doesn't drive the Refs just swallow their whistles for him...meanwhile guys get to wrestle Dwight Howard every play of the game so it is what it is.

    You were just talking about after the first game how the refs were so inconsistent when it went against your team and I remember agreeing that your team was on the bad side of it the first game. Not everyone is just hating on the clippers.

    I just hate that the refs just swing this way or that way so wildly.

    Well, when all you hear about your team is that they flop, and then the last play of the game involves a flop, you tend to get a bit defensive. But I don't really care because the Clippers got dicked in game 1 and if the league wants to apologize for dicking the Warriors in game 3, fine by me. Either way 2-1 Clippers is the correct tally.

    Yea also CP3 should have shot 3 free throws. No consistency with these refs.
