Austin Rivers Gets Fouled At The End Of The Game - No Call

[Illuminati]

http://youtu.be/4kmjepbHNQw

That's crazy. How obvious can a foul get? I guess the refs wanted to go home.

[Spaulding]

If Love won't get the call then there's no way Austin would.

[IncarceratedBob]

Scrubs don't get that call

[Johnny Jones]

That Hamtaro ****** was telling me it wasn't a foul call in the other thread:roll:

[reppy]

That was atrocious. I hope those refs suffer from a bout of irritable bowel syndrome over the next 24-36 hours.

[MP.Trey]

And here comes another NBA apology.

[Illuminati]

Austin Rivers would've choked at least one freethrow, but that's not the point. NBA will release the official statement tomorrow saying they missed this call, acting like it's going to matter tomorrow.:facepalm

[no pun intended]

against the mavs again lmao

[Al Thornton]

If Love won't get the call then there's no way Austin would.

the love one was much harder to call, this was an easy call and they still didn't get it.

[I<3NBA]

who cares. Austin river is a horrible shooter anyway so his FTs won't matter.

[Genaro]

Refs don't like to call fouls late in the game but that was ridiculous, that's worse than Love's

[SHAQisGOAT]

Just ridiculous.

Apparently there's a new rule which states that no foul shall be called at the end of games if the player is on a "small" team. :confusedshrug:

Clear as day, even worse than Love's, that shit has to be called.
Lots of games calling bs ticky-tack fouls then ones like these not even a reaction. :facepalm

Expect an official apology.. Like that changes anythings :lol

Marion on Love.:lol

[GrapeApe]

How does that happen? That was a mugging.

[DirkNowitzki41]

inb4 he gets 3 free throws at the end in another game, and misses all three. just like that ***** love :lol

it was a foul, but it looked like he even fouled him before he shot.. so he woulda got 2? either way NBA will apologize tomorrow.. same old bs

edit: doesnt it look like he tried the rip through move? Would have been 2 if they called it then

[Im so nba'd out]

the nba got to stop with this bs where they sollow their whistles and dont call fouls @ the end of games

[jdm_dc_fan]

Ref did him a favor. Took the loss off of rivers shoulders.

[Dro]

Horrible...

[Done_And_Done]

That was a straight up mugging. Get it together officials...

[PerfectCell]

That was all ball

[bluechox2]

refs reward the mavs with 2 wins, some insider trading shit is going on here...

[215Philly]

He wrapped him up :eek: What was Monta thinking? :biggums:

[joeyjoejoe]

Bet nba doesn't make a statement apology about this one rivers isn't a star, people always say refs don't call last second fouls but I remember last season Blake Griffin hitting the game winner and gets called for the offensive didn't see the game but most were calling b.s call

[bdreason]

What was the point spread for the game?

[The_Yearning]

Austin Rivers secretly relieved... he would have clanked at least 1 and game over. Why is Rivers even in the game anyway?

[DMAVS41]

What was the point spread for the game?

Mavs were -8 or something like that. No impact on spread...Pels covered.

Clear foul, but should have only gotten 2 free throws anyway, but still a blown call.

[215Philly]

Austin Rivers secretly relieved... he would have clanked at least 1 and game over. Why is Rivers even in the game anyway?
No Reke or Jrue

[Lebron23]

He's a scrub, but a foul is a foul.

[talkingconch]

So thats where joel myers does play by play now. New Orleans

[plowking]

Paul George would have got that call.

[bluechox2]

Paul George would have got that call.

[LakersForlife]

minny wont make playoffs, mavs playoff secured :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[Mr. Jabbar]

NBA just announced it was a foul and referee will be sanctioned with 5 hrs of lebron 4th quarter footage

[GoRapz]

Lol these refs are terrible. I understand the basketball is a very tough sport to officiate but come on. I know the refs try to let the teams play it out in the final seconds but by this logic, the opposing team is aloud to hack the player with possession and no foul will be called?? :confusedshrug:

Refs just need to let the players play ball for 48 minutes. No ticky tack fouls for a touch on the wrist and we won't see so many players feel so entitled to fouls

[senelcoolidge]

I don't care who you are but fouls should be called..NBA officiating is just horrendous. It's just embarrassing.

[kamil]

Is the NBA supposed to be taken as a legitimate organization when this happens? This kind of rigging seems to happen a LOT. Who's in favour of an official investigation?

[funnystuff]

NBA just announced it was a foul and referee will be sanctioned with 5 hrs of lebron 4th quarter footage
Why would they give the ref a reward for the blown call? :confusedshrug:

[stephanieg]

Arm is part of the ball.

[BigTicket]

That was just ridiculous.

[theaussieguy]

i know we all like to pretend everything is gravy but the reality is a ****ing Joke

who cares if lebron got rings the last couple seasons, what does it actually mean given the fact refs highly influence games?

It means jack shit, and i havn't been following nba long enough to know if its always been like this but we have to stop kidding ourselves, the nba is not a fair competition.

[PizzamanIRL]

The real question is why was Austin Rivers playing at a crucial time in the game?

[oarabbus]

Monta straight up reached all the way across Rivers' body and grabbed his arms, wtf

[raiderfan19]

Yes it was a foul, but it was on the floor. Monta was intentionally fouling him so he couldn't get off a 3. Rivers also traveled before any contact whatsoever was made.

[All Net]

That's embarrassing

NBA refs are a joke

[All Net]

that wasn't on the floor. Monta stopped him from going up.

[Haks]

Mavs took like 20 more fts
Nba so so desperately wants them in the po

[mugiwara]

that wasn't on the floor. Monta stopped him from going up.

Totally agree. Give him three for that for sure, if this was even a slightly likeable scrub no one would say otherwise.

[JohnFreeman]

Obvious foul.

[#number6ix#]

The NBA needs to clean this shit up

[Crafty]

Wonder what Mark Cuban has to say about this.

[coin24]

This shit is ruining games. The regular season is bad enough as it is right now without piss poor reffing/ blatant rigging on top of it..:facepalm

With the amount of injuries, teams tanking and just garbage level games being played I wonder what the viewing numbers for the league is looking like.

[cuad]

It's the call that Kevin Durant gets all the time, where he swings his arms into the defenders arm.

That's not a foul to me. If the defender puts his arm somewhere in time and doesn't swing down or up at the other player, which Monta Ellis did not in this play, then it's not a foul.

It used to be a no-call in the NBA too. Check out this play involving Shaq and Greg Ostertag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHx0Pkle5_0

They should go back to calling it this way, so I don't have to watch all these new age free throw queens.

It's not the rip through move:facepalm
He's putting up a shot and got blatantly fouled..

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Dallas getting the love again.

[ArbitraryWater]

That was too obvious IMO. And you can bet on him missing at least one.

[GOBB]

No. :oldlol:

[wally_world]

I would've called a jump ball. Seems like the defender got all ball when Austin was trying to go up for the shot.

Are you retarded? Do you need glasses? Or is this sarcasm? I'm going with sarcasm.

[dannywpt]

What is Monta doing??? :biggums:

The NHL is overtaking the NBA. They seriously need to fix the officiating and some other things in the league. The league looks B class.

:rolleyes:

[kNIOKAS]

A blatant no-call and a shame for the whole organization. Refereeing has been bad lately (and I mean a several years span). It really does hurt the image of legitimacy in the NBA... Superstar calls, no-calls, travelling... You'd say it's not as influential as to decide the championships... But maybe it does. It definitely leaves an unconscious mark. Why care.

it is sad that if any of the best players get fouled like that...it's 100% going to be called there.

because austin rivers sucks...he doesn't get that call.

still think it should have only been 2 ft's, but it was a clear foul and I don't know how you fail to call that...

[ballup]

I can see why it's a no call. It does looks like the rip through move, but I sometimes still see it called this season.

I think refs should be given more leeway for reversing calls. Not sure if it is true, but once they blow the whistle, a call has to be made.

[Illuminati]

I guess you can call it a rip through. But how the **** can Rivers even get a shot off with Monta holding his arms down? :lol

[ballup]

I guess you can call it a rip through. But how the **** can Rivers even get a shot off with Monta holding his arms down? :lol
I can't see if Monta is actually grasping Rivers arms. Monta may be trying to intetnionally foul to bring Rivers to the line for 2. Doc Rivers implemented a strategy like that before.

[raiderfan19]

I guess you can call it a rip through. But how the **** can Rivers even get a shot off with Monta holding his arms down? :lol
He couldnt that was kinda the point of fouling him before he was in the shooting motion

[FireDavidKahn]

Well, the NBA apologized for it.:roll: :roll: :roll:

[MasterMaster]

And here comes another NBA apology.
I'm waiting on it,

[Boarder Patrol]

But....but it's ok the league apologized :facepalm

[Chi Quan]

There will be many more of these 'apologies' to come I'm afraid.

[mark]

That was atrocious. I hope those refs suffer from a bout of irritable bowel syndrome over the next 24-36 hours.

He was out of control, had no chance of making the shot, well defended, and he's Austin Rivers. Austin has a very soft NBA game, I'm glad no call in Ellis, a solid NBA vet playing good D don't reward the scrub. There was obviously something behind this no call. Nobody knows what they go off of but something held the whistle.
