Agreed.

On top of fining Allen, they should fine the ****ing refs that botch yet another call with the privilege of replay. They botched about 20 calls in that game.

He grabbed his elbow and twisted him in mid-air. Allen was close to landing very awkwardly on his arm. Easy flagrant

To be fair, Zach Randolph missed like 40 free throws.

Twisted his elbow?

He pulled his forearm down.

So close that he managed to extend both arms to break his fall?

That's not a flagrant without that sell job.

If he makes half of them, that game ends in regulation and I'm happy.

Ginobili cupped him at the elbow and pushed him into a twisting motion.

They've called that a flagrant all throughout the playoffs. He didn't go for the ball, and it was a dangerous fall with or without the sell job. I don't like that being a flagrant, but that's how they're calling it now.

You know the officiating is bad when a fakers fan is arguing for the refs ****ed that game.

Hands down the second worst if not worst officiated game of the play offs.

Spurs need to keep the ball movement up though. This has happened a couple times this play offs. They start going to iso/half ass pick and roll and they quit scoring.

That was a terrible call. It wasn't even a hard foul. What's worse is they even reviewed it and still call it a flagrant.

Yup! Only reason I have any interest still in the NBA Playoffs.

It was a cheap shit foul. And if anyone deserves it...

But why the cornrows?

**Buck** · 05-21-2013, 10:46 PM

Here's how I see the foul call.

Initially, Ginobli's arm was reaching in the direction of the ball, but then after he made contact, he clearly changed his arm direction and was pulling on the guy's arm and no longer making a play at the ball.

After seeing the replay, I didn't think it should be called a flagrant, but I don't have any problem with them calling it one either.

Everyone catches a tough one every once in a while. Just bet double on the next game and make sure you win, and you'll be fine.

5 years ago, it's a normal foul. If you come from behind like that and don't get the ball? It's a flagrant, and they've been calling plays like that a flagrant 1 all throughout the playoffs. I'm not a fan of this change, but it's been consistent.

If you want to talk about a game-changing bad call, let's talk about Conley's third foul.
