Post a GIF. There was no foul there. Curry was dumb to go for 3 anyway. Plus he had a foot on the line.

Clean, clutch defense by CPtrebomb.

I wouldn't be stunned if league office wants LAC in Finals. Ratings for LAC/MIA would probably beat last year's just from the dunk show alone.

Curry tried to pull a Durant and shoot for a foul and not for the bucket.

there was, as weak as it is, cp3 chipped curry's elbows. that shit gets called all the time, refs should be consistent.

CP0 was giving him a handjob whilst he took the three

I love curry, but pissed at him for taking that shot. There was still time left and they didn't need a 3

[Dbrog]

there was a very clear foul when someone uploads the video. Hand clearly pushes his waist and undercuts him too. Elbow too

[Fawker]

They should know all whistles are dangling every last play.

Proof?
they showed a replay, i dont know how to gif it since i watched it on ballstreams. not gonna argue about this bro, even if i did put up a video there will be 20000 stans saying curry flopped or whatever shit like that.
i think there was a foul but i respect the call. that will be all.

It wasn't the body push...that shit happens all the time and is almost never called...

They just showed the replay on tnt and it looked like he got clipped on the elbow.

terrible decision to take that shot by curry though...that isn't the shot you want with 8 seconds to work with

that wasn't even the worst of it, two plays earlier Blake Griffin got sent to the line for a blocking foul on Green for simply bulldozing Green. That was a far worse call but the missed call at the end really hurt the Warriors more.

CP3 also should have been awarded 3 free throws when he shot that half court heave.

Rigging goes both ways, *******s

[yobore]

On the play before refs awarded 2 shots to Paul when he clearly shot the halfcourt shot before the foul. He had even released it before there was contact so it wasn't just going to the shooting motion after the whistle

Definitely was a foul, shooter should be able to land.. But I understand that nobody wants a game to end with freethrows

[MellowYellow]

Forget all of the other times cp3 fouled him on that play, those are usually let go, but getting hit on the elbow ALWAYS gets called. No excuse whatsoever for them to miss this:facepalm

I agree with you on premise, but I thought Green flopped (and that's basically why they called the foul). Should have been a no-call (and hence BG shouldn't have gone to the line).

Great job on the no call, you're right! :cheers:

i have no dog in this hunt... just calling it like i see it. paul's hand is in direct contact with curry's elbow. your team already won the game, what's the use in denying the clear evidence in front of you? There's nothing anyone can do to reverse that call.

I'll repeat that:

There is nothing anyone can do to reverse the call and the outcome of the game.

It speaks to your integrity as a fan of your team and the game to not be able to admit that there was a foul.

Hate to say it, but this type of stuff is why I'm a hockey fan first. There's honor in that game. You get a call, you make the most of it and move on. You got the no call in your favor. No fault to CP3 for that. It's not his fault. It's also not the only call worth considering in the game. Too many calls in general, in my opinion. But it's the last one, it's the one that sticks, and there is in this thread undeniable proof of its incorrect nature.

Good win, Clips. I have money on you going to the Finals. That doesn't mean that I can't be honest with myself about what happened.

[livinglegend]

[DGyaDigg]

Clips definitely got the better end of the whistle in the clutch.

A block that in today's game is more often than not a charge.
Missed travel to bail Blake out, clear him space for the shot. Pivoted with his right foot, stepped back, Dirked off his left.
Cp3 hacked Steph 3 times on one shot. I didn't think that was possible but it happened. Cp3's elbow got Steph's shooting arm going up, then shoved him in the mid-section, then slapped his elbow on the release.

[KyleKong]

So you admit that it was foul?

Nope.

It's as simple as this:

Fouls like this come down to OPINIONS. My opinion is it wasn't a foul. 3 refs on the floors opinion = no foul. Your opinion = foul.

It's opinions here. Not integrity. :facepalm

[Amar'e_Juwanna]

ok so that first part isn't true. For the sake of clarity, i have money and 10-1 odds that the thunder and the spurs don't go to the finals. so i don't care who wins this series (except i think without bogut the Clips are better equipped to make it, so i'm "rooting" for them).

[christian1923]

Golden state should have thrown that money at al Jefferson instead of Iggy and kept Barnes in the starting lineup. Bogut can't stay healthy.


Refs blew the griffin charge and the curry call though.

Fouls like this come down to OPINIONS. My opinion is it wasn't a foul. 3 refs on the floors opinion = no foul. Your opinion = foul.

It's opinions here. Not integrity. :facepalm

That is just falsehood. It is either a foul according to the rules, or it isn't. What you're essentially saying is that every NBA game is called equally, and that every call goes to every player the same way. That is clearly untrue.

Certain players will get a call that certain other players will not.

It's as simple as this: the only 3 opinions that matter on whether or not it was a foul are the 3 men (or whats her name) in the black and white striped shirts. Their opinion was, in the moment, that there was no foul. So there was no foul.

There was no foul because those 3 people were of the opinion that there was no foul. I accept that, and I don't claim to be able to have officiated it any better. Like i said, that call is not the only one worth considering. Calls go the wrong way All. The. Time.

But when there is proof, in image form, of Paul clipping (lol!) Curry's elbow, I question your integrity as a fan. That's one man's opinion.

[Amar'e_Juwanna]

Golden state should have thrown that money at al Jefferson instead of Iggy and kept Barnes in the starting lineup. Bogut can't stay healthy.

i agree 100%. not only did they err by placing too much of their team balance on Bogut's legs, literally, they screwed up Barnes' development. Possibly irrevocably.

[NugzFan]

Damnit nugs fan. You ruined it.

No bias at all, just laughing at all these bitter folk, most of which had an exact 180 view of the missed call on Christopher Emmanuel Paul during the opening game of the series. Along with laughing at the fact that they are blatantly ignoring two plays that, with zero doubt, benefited the Warriors greatly and not thinking about the clock situation or the possibility of two free throws.

But hey, Clippers are up 2-1, same way they would be regardless of officiating mistakes.

Irate? nonsense. My point was that it speaks to me about the integrity of certain ISH posters' fanship to deny that there was "technically" a foul, either on the elbow or the hip, which should have resulted in either 2 or 3 free throws, regardless of the call which was made on the court. You have acknowledged that, to my understanding, and I have no beef with you.

People who can't see that it's a foul are probably the same ones who jump up and down whenever Crawford gets a 4pt play..lol

[Amar'e_Juwanna]

People who can't see that it's a foul are probably the same ones who jump up and down whenever Crawford gets a 4pt play..lol

How many 4 point plays has jordan crawford had this year?

In honesty though, you have to respect how well CP3 plays the game within the game. His cagey fouls, distracting the refs with the apparently uncallable grazing of his upraised hand while truly fouling and disrupting Curry's shot with his left forearm. His (mostly) graceful flops and perfectly legal and genius shot attempts to draw fouls. It's a different type of beautiful basketball.

He plays to win. He uses all means necessary to do so. I can't deny the viability of his strategy any more than his own lack of success can.

I personally have more respect for players like Carmelo who, to my admittedly biased eyes, have an honor to them.

What remains to be seen is how history will remember this era of players... we have the technology to preserve their respective games.

Anyone see that?

If not, I believe we know who the league wants to win :lol

LA Clippers,

You are welcome.

[Amar'e_Juwanna]

That`s a foul :facepalm

And a deciding one. Very very bad.

ah, the age old question. Missed FT's in the first quarter less important than missed call in the fourth? Let's see you ref a game.

LA Clippers,

You are welcome.

It's almost like Golden State doesn't get treated like OKC

[notatop29pg]

How many 4 point plays has jordan crawford had this year?

In honesty though, you have to respect how well CP3 plays the game within the game. His cagey fouls, distracting the refs with the apparently uncallable grazing of his upraised hand while truly fouling and disrupting Curry's shot with his left forearm. His (mostly) graceful flops and perfectly legal and genius shot attempts to draw fouls. It's a different type of beautiful basketball.

He plays to win. He uses all means necessary to do so. I can't deny the viability of his strategy any more than his own lack of success can.

Nice post.

it's interesting how different countries cultures would interpret certain players.

As an Aussie, I think most people would see CP3 as a 'little battler' that rightfully (due to size) does whatever he can to win.

Carmelo on the other hand would be seen as complacent and lazy for all his talent.

there were actually a foul at the elbow and you could even call an arm bar on the waist...

no respect for curry at all

[East_Stone_Ya]

Paul played great D on Steph but yeah the elbow was bit unnecessary on the last play, but as someone already pointed out that great players use every means possible to make a defensive play. The refs didn't call it and that's that. Warriors and their fans need to concentrate on the next game, arguing about the no call won't change the result.

Especially when you have Durant and Westbrook getting bailed out left and right with 0 contact in the last seconds of the game.

[Dresta]

It was a foul and CP3 knew exactly what he was doing.

[Solefade]

Are we going to ignore pauls left hand on curry!? Dude was basically giving him a hand job while he was shooting the ball. Ref's missed the call. But it was a horrible shot by curry to begin with, he should have either drove it in, or tried to get a better shot off, he had plenty of time left.


bad shot selection but in the end, it's still a shot that curry makes A LOT

I can't believe that still. Curry jumps close to straight up, and then sudden when Paul puts his arm on him, Curry drifts back a foot or 2. Gee, I wonder how his shot was short. :hammerhead:

[beastmode]

Clipper fans didn't cry this much over the Green's indisputable foul on CP in the first game.

Post this foul you speak of or be gone.

[navy]

That was a really smart play. Curry is so weak you can move him without extension and the refs always, usually, swallow their whistles late in games.

[RIP CITY]

Would have been a pussified foul call IMO. But I guess they could have called it.

[dude77]

your tone implies a bias; for the record here is the gif:

looks like he pushes him at the waist .. since when does curry come short on any shot like that, especially when he gets set up before the shot ? :no: .. refs wanted the game over

[beastmode]

Post this foul you speak of or be gone.
or Nah.

Watch game one son. If you watched it you would know.

[beastmode]

I watched the post game conference and neither Mark or Curry talked about any contact on the elbow. They thought there was contact down low, but said nothing about elbow.

[dude77]

classic case of refs enforcing rules when they want .. that's been called a foul before .. this time they chose to let it go .. I don't know .. I think it was enough to be called .. especially when he's shooting to tie the game

[mistergreens]

Both Chris Paul and Steph Curry should have been awarded three free throws. How CP3 only got 2 shots is a mystery to me.

[derb2k2]

most definitely a foul. Curry should've gotten freethrows on that, no doubt.

It was hard to see but Paul's hand snaps back a little after hitting Curry's elbow.

:biggums: :biggums:

After the game neither Curry nor Jackson said anything about contact on the elbow.

[comerb]

Dumb shot. And everyone knows your not going to get weak foul calls on the last shot of the game, and that's exactly what that was, a weak foul.

[Cocaine80s]

Steph gets no respect because he kicks out/falls every time he shoots a 3. Refs arent falling for that and so they miss the actual fouls

[RoundMoundOfReb]

People really need to stop bitching about the refs. Besides, Curry pushed off on that last second attempt anyways.

[Akhenaten]

Lots of whiney lil BISHES in here

there wasnt a foul IMO, there was nothing on the elbow..MAYBE a GRAZE if that. CP did have his forearm on Curry's body but he didnt extend, just because there is contact doesnt mean there is a foul, if that were the case refs would be calling fouls literally EVRY single possession.

I notice ALL the folks crying about Curry being fouled are completely ignoring the fact that Paul should have been shooting 3 FT's the play before. This makes it clear to me that this isn't about integrity at all but a personal dislike for a team and/or player, as a Heat fan I recognize it very well.

STAY SALTY BISH BOYS
especially that corny NY fan from Long Island

[qrich]

You mean the foul which the NBA openly admitted to being a missed call?

Ok.

Stay Salty.

[dude77]

wtf ? :oldlol: how is that a 'weak foul' .. he completely altered his shot ..

refs just choose when to enforce the rules

[SwishSquared]

Steph fell in a very similar manner on his last three 3FGA. Not saying he didn't get hit on that last shot, but if you fall purposefully a couple times in the span of 2 minutes on your long range shots, will a ref realistically call the foul? I thought it was a fairly bad shot, going for 3, when only down 2 with 8 seconds left and on his home court. He looked like he wanted to win the game at the line, not with a shot (not a bad strategy really, but it can backfire).

[livinglegend]

That was a really smart play. Curry is so weak you can move him without extension and the refs always, usually, swallow their whistles late in games.

Seems like you didnt watch the first 3 games of the OKC-Memphis series

[JellyBean]

LOL. Crying about refs and Warriors game.

[wakencdukest]

apparently every team that is losing is getting screwed by the refs.

[AirFederer]

ah, the age old question. Missed FT's in the first quarter less important than missed call in the fourth? Let's see you ref a game.
It it's this shot/no call that's being discussed here, kid. Get some glasses.

[NugzFan]

If the nba called every play with that much contact a foul, there would be 100+ fts a game.

It's a good no call. Just because there's contact doesn't make it a foul.

[NugzFan]

Whoa. Didn't even see akhenantens post before I posted mine

[crisoner]

Warriors are my second team and I'm rooting for them to beat the Clips...but hey no excuses to being down 18 points in the 3rd.

No problem on the refs. Fanbases are getting on my nerves now complaining about every call.

[oarabbus]

There was no foul on the very last shot that Curry missed, well at least not a foul that will get called with 1 second left.


But the 3 that Curry made immediately prior should have been an And1 and it should have tied the game

[Lamar Odumbb]

He probably wouldve made it if he didnt try to sell the foul when he felt contact on his waist from CP3's forearm and just went with his normal follow through. This is going to be the new norm now with guys like Harden flailing around trying to draw a foul on game winning shots instead of being a man and trying to make the shot on your own merit.

[Amar'e_Juwanna]

just because there is contact doesnt mean there is a foul

I notice ALL the folks crying about Curry being fouled are completely ignoring the fact that Paul should have been shooting 3 FT's the play before.

I get you're trying to bait me, but seriously, read the thread. I have not commented on the previous foul call, just the end of the game no-call. Paul should have undoubtedly received 3 FT's. I think Curry should have as well. Crying? hardly. salty? as I already explained, my only investment in the outcome of this series is financial and I am "rooting" for the clips because I think they have the best chance to go to the Finals.

The first part of your quote has been adequately responded to.

- that corny NY fan from Long Island


It it's this shot/no call that's being discussed here, kid. Get some glasses.

You, too, should browse the thread. I have been advocating that it should have been called literally the entire time. I just think it's stupid to call it a "deciding" foul like the refs have an obligation to call it how you want it to be called. Warriors had plenty of opportunities to win that game, that being the "deciding play" is 98% their fault.


if you fall purposefully a couple times in the span of 2 minutes on your long range shots, will a ref realistically call the foul?

Absolutely salient.

[senelcoolidge]

Curry fouled Paul first by pushing him off..than at the end he flops to the ground. No call was the right call. Look at it again..in slow motion.

The last play isn't going to be called a foul. But before that, Curry made a 3pter and didn't get the and1 to tie the game.

[Adam Silver]

It was important to me that the Clippers can actually win under my administration.
