Look, I think it was an atrocious call, but you can't just say this because there were missed calls on both sides. Just on this play, you could have EASILY called Tucker for a loose ball foul for rolling into Durant and knocking him out of bounds in the first place. That was a missed call. It just happened to be followed by the worst missed call of all time.
And not just from one ref, but from three...and not just barely out of bounds, but WAY out of bounds, and for several steps. This is one of those plays the NBA really needs to address HITF this happened...it's stuff like this that makes conspiracy theories real. Like this play, but at least they called this one.
Y'all just don't know the fine print of the NBA rulebook. If a player takes an even number of full steps out-of-bounds, they count as in-bounds. KD clearly establishes his fourth step right before "saving" the ball. Here's a link to this sub-clause: Spoiler What a great game that was.

This is one of those plays the NBA really needs to address HITF this happened...it's stuff like this that makes conspiracy theories real. Probably not, but something SHOULD come out of it. This is blatant incompetence, at least. Refs of high school games would likely get fired over something this bad. Like this play, but at least they called this one.
Shannon Sharpe has now called James the MVP. That is correct, above his beloved Lebron. He even sited this play stating, they even tried to give GS the win and yet.... Skip also agree that there was no need for any review as that was too obvious.
National televised game between WCF, a great game with an embarrassing non-call that was called out immediately on live TV. This has got some good publicity and is embarrassing for the NBA and the NBA ref. The NBA ref image when down a good bit yesterday. Maybe if the sport media keep replaying this, they would actually do something.
If Harden's shot didn't go in, I would have been even more mad they didn't call a 3-shot foul on Green. That was clearly a foul. And if the Warriors made a two point basket at the last second, and we lost the game because they didn't call an and-1, how would we react?
LeShannon is a fool if he thought LeBron was even top 2 the entire season or top 3 since December when Harden came back into the discussion. I'd have him personally at 5 behind Jokic who's not getting any respect.

It has obviously happened what is the league’s response? Do these officials have any ramifications? How do the officials and the league keep their integrity if nothing is done? Random thoughts

Tell me more about the ball that Harden obviously didn't touch as it went out of bounds earlier. The foul on the last 3pt shot Harden made that wasn't called etc... I'm not going to be able to change your mind.
I hope Jokic will be in the MVP conversation. I like that Nuggets team. Hopefully we'll see them in the WCF.
