Mitchell avoids 5th foul as he forces Harden turnover in 4th quarter

NBA needs certain series to go longer

Looks like Warriors will sweep so need the other WCF SF to go longer

 

They were letting that punk ass scrub Exum do whatever he wanted on the perimeter. Dude barely looks like a G League player most of the time, but they let him do his best Derek Harper impersonation last night.

 

I agree with people saying this isn't a great excuse for the loss.

Mitchell had his front leg and body forward (slightly moving) to take away Harden's left drive, and Harden went left anyway. That's the type of play that is called a foul maybe 70% of the time in a close playoff game. That's close enough to a 50/50 call that I can't get bent out of shape over it. You just can't rely on those kind of whistles to bail you out in a game like this.

 

Basketball has become so soft, you get tackled right and left in Football.

You get tackled hard in soccer and sometimes it aint a foul. That was a bump.

Sure, call it a foul but that's far from tough play.

 

this is exactly true. each extra game on national TV is millions in revenue. it is what it is, a business. they want a game 7

 

This wasn't a ref loss, lots of reasons why we lost.

I do wish the refs would at least be consistent and that play was a great example of not being consistent

 

there were a bunch of crappy calls but first half apathy and poor shooting were more to blame.

 

Reggie Miller disagrees.

 

I honestly thought the second foul was 10 times worse than the first one. It's not why we lost, clearly, but it definitely didn't help.

 

No one can tell me that . . .if that 5th foul was called. . .the next two plays don't happen

wasn't it clean block tho? it looked liked a clean block on the arena's big screen.

 

It was... Reggie still bitter that Cheryl is better.
