Anyone have a clip of that? To confirm that it was off of his back. Down 4 points, that cost us 2 points and probably a chance to cut the deficit down to 2. Major momentum killer. Same thing that happened in Game 1 2nd quarter when the refs gave the game back to the Warriors. Ridiculous
They also never shows a replay. Not one to blame refs, just thought it was dumb that there was no replay and no review.
it's ont he clutchfans twitter feed. CLEARLY off curry, the midcourt ref was shielded from the play but obvious blown call.
It was clearly out on Curry. Also down the stretch (final minutes) TJones had a rebound and was hit by Draymond Green, allowing the rebound to go to Golden State for an easy bucket. We lost by 1, and four points were gifted to the Warriors by referees blowing calls that were right in front of them and not the judgement call type. Even the announcers pointed out that it was a loose ball foul against Green.
- The off-Curry out-of-bounds/off Rockets(!!!???) wrong call - The Green looseball foul that instead turned into a foul on Harden - the moving screen/hipcheck into Brewer that instead was called a Houston foul giving GS 2 FTs Those 3 things... I've just...I've never been so freaking angry.
Refs haven't been bad this series but they've blown calls in back-to-back games that have come at critical times against the Rockets.

It appears to go off curry right in front of the official who clearly was not watching the game. The officials seemed tired last night from all these playoff games as they also missed a couple of calls while being directly in front of the play when Howard got mugged multiple times. I blame the NBA for not spreading the games out more to give officials time to recoupe form fatigue and eye strain.
Like I said, official directly in front of the play, watching the plays unfold. Just doesn't make the calls. It's ridiculous. The Warriors are a great team. They are likely better than the Rockets. But we will never known because the Rockets aren't getting a fair shot.
I don't know man, he's looking right at it. Makes me wonder... I know these have been discussed and hashed out before, but I'm open to hearing conspiracy theories and potential external interference with officiating.
Seems like every time rox get a bad call the Warriors immediately turn it into points. Like when Howard got absolutely clobbered in the paint...no call and Barbosa gets that last second fast break layup. Chance to cut it to 4 turns into 8pt lead.
Has there been any reason to support why ONLY in the last 2 minutes of the game should these out of bounds get reviewed?
But the refs can huddle up and discuss it. It happens all the time. Especially in Rockets games(and it almost never goes our way). The ref who called it out of bounds on us looked like he was in a hurry to have the Warriors inbound it. And don't forget that Green over-the-back non-call was a potential 4-point swing on its own. Jones would've gotten 2 free throws since we were in the bonus. Instead the Warriors got a basket. And back in the end of the 1st quarter, Dwight gets hacked and instead of a foul, the Warriors get the steal and go the length of the court for an uncontested layup. That's a 2-4 point swing right there. The refs were brutal last night. If you lose by 10+, you can overlook these plays. But not in a 1-point defeat, especially with that Green play occurring with 2 minutes to go.
Yeah, I think that's the rule but we've seen them review plays before 2 minutes plenty of times.. It's complete B.S.
