    It’s really hard to see a dude who is about seven feet going out of bounds

    There's simply no explanation for it... and it's completely and totally unmissable. I really hate complaining about the refs (though I know it is justified occasionally), but I'm at a loss on this one.

    Brought back shades of Finley in the playoffs. But this took it to another level.

    Don't forget Michael Finely's missed out of bounds. That was in the playoff and we almost had them. I am not forgetting that like forever. Fxxk the Mavs and that Donkey Lucky kid.

    I know when stuff like this happens it’s fun to say, so and so is/was best/worst ever because it’s recent and fresh in everyone’s minds. But this actually is the WORST missed call I’ve ever seen. Unreal how it was ‘missed’.

    The only way the Rockets could've won after this missed call was if Harden put on his Superman cape.
    And so he did.
    And then refs missed another call on the next shot.
    And so he scored the three.

    I think we've seen one of the best regular season games of all time. I'm Serious™

    I had Michael Finley flashbacks. Thanks to James there will be no ptsd.

    The ref was 15 feet away with an unobstructed view of Durant and he just swallows his whistle. Unbelievable. And then Kerr has the gall to complain about a call in the final minutes.

    The Finley play was a bit less egregious but was so much bigger in the grand scheme of things.

    Even better: Steve Kerr, in his postgame interview, complained about the call on Draymond for fouling Harden's last drive.

    Dude, after 3 blind men eat their whistles on this howler, the least you can do is say nothing about the officiating.

    It's just such an unbelievable miss. I mean, it they were on the take they still would have to call that one. There is no explanation for that one. Just inexplicable.
