    either way we lost. what's the difference?

    if we didn't miss 20 free throws we would've won. if we didnt give up 20 turn overs we wouldve won.

    I miss voted but then again I'm biased. I thought it was a foul.

    I also thought the game was damn near unwatchable. The NBA needs to fix the intentional foul. It killed that game. No one wants to watch a free throw contest.

    Watch the overhead view. Its clearly a good block by Timmy.
    Harden needs to go ****ing strong. Refs will NEVER call a foul in that last second scenario. Remember the entire internet crying over KD not getting a foul call on a blatant arm hit in like game 2 of the 2012 finals?

    Refs will not call fouls. Next time go in there and try to slam the ****ing ball in the rim Harden. If anything there is a better chance he'll get a foul call if there is a mid air collision where bodies go flying.

    He tipped the ball for a block before the follow through on the arm.
    Not a foul on most plays, especially on a last second call

    Clean block, no doubt. Tough loss, but doesn't change the fact that it was not a foul.

    I wonder if he would have passed to Brewer for a tear drop... would Brewer been able to make it and etc....

    Or have put KJ in the game and let him dunk the **** over Timmy if KJ was in Brewers situation and spot/timing as he was....

    Terry was also wide open on the other side... damn, so many possibilities.

    Kinda pissed Dwight didn't lock up Timmy inside...

    Fouled on the follow through, hits it clean but he doesn't actually knock the ball away from Harden for it to be a block.

    True though and also neither did this one game.

    If we didn't dick around in some of the other games we played in...

    afaik, incidental arm contact only occurs when the ball is dislodged as it creates a loose ball situation

    no way an official will call that a foul at the last play of the game.....

    After viewing the video more than a dozen times now, i'm even less convinced Duncan hit Harden's arm.....if you slow mo the bird view shot...it looked clean block...

    Anyway, time to move on

    Didn't look like a foul, and even if it was, that was never gonna get called. Harden should have went with the step back.

    The Spurs invited him into the paint all night only to collapse on him at the rim, and it worked. Same thing happened on the final play. Good game plan from Popavich as always.

    Yup! Harden screwed up big time as well as Howard, he didn't even try to seal Duncan off.

    Ton of contact - but after he got ball first. I bought Bill's complaining on first look but I'm okay with the no-call now.

    If you look at the video, Harden didn’t even think he was fouled.
