    NBA is so obviously rigged. This is the perfect example. They review the call and clearly see it off a OKC player and they still give them the ball..

    ROFL

    that was not even close to questionable.

    Don't forget the three freebies and the no-call when CP3 was expecting to get fouled

    7 points awarded by the refs

    This is NBA for you - bunch of guys fighting and working hard for 48 mins, but one the end, it's just in the hands of Zebras.

    Maybe it's time to focus on college basketball, and quit NBA altogether.

    Turnover - Foul 3 pt shooter - turnover. CP3 will get the Lin treatment from fans tonight. And maybe blamed for losing the series lol

    clearly, but I think they actually made the right call. They missed the foul and decided to get it right. In this case, two wrongs did make something right

    Refs can't help a team come back from 13 down with 3 minutes left. It's a simple choke job.

    Shouldve been a foul on Matt Barnes...but because the Refs missed that foul, they purposely gave the ball to OKC...wow..what a terrible ending...the Clippers were jobbed....

    Reggie Jackson should have passed it

    They made a make up call since Jackson was fouled.

    I truly hate that if it's a no call on a foul, it's your ball, but if it's knocked away legitimately, they get it.

    You literally get rewarded for fouling with that stupid rule, and if there's a concerted effort to change, all the better.

    So they gave cp3 a bull**** call as a make up, which was a 3 to win the game. Disgusting.

    Rivers must suck as a coach for his team to choke down the stretch. It has to be on the coach.

    What about the other 6? That game should have never been that close. If Paul takes care of the ball like the best PG in the league should they win.

    3 freebies? you mean when CP3 obviously fouled the shooter (the same call which Crawford gets 4x a game)?

    Scott Brooks bailed out again. There will not be many OKC fans when Durant and WB decide to leave after they lose for the next two seasons under Brooks.

    If it was Clippers ball, they would have had a strong, strong chance of winning this game. They choked for sure, but you definitely can't say that one call didn't do much.

    Doc Rivers a fired up coach. If that was McHale he would just say "oh well we have to play harder".

    Clearly rigged. Refs just didn't get their assignment from the shadowlord stern until 3 minutes remained in the game.
