Because it swings open the door for bitch-arse flops to decide championships. No thanks.

Because refs don't want people to bitch how the game was decided by the refs. It would be a way bigger deal if it was called a foul. I'm talking every level of basketball, not just the NBA, that is not called a foul at the end

The outrage at a championship being lost due to a buzzer beater foul being called on a flop would be worse

Not that. It was an aggressive play and there was contact, but there wasn't a hack or an out of control body check.

He got all ball with his hand. You're reaching really bad if you think that was a mugging.

I really hope Thursday doesn't come down to this or a similar situation.

I am a spurs fan and realize they lost because of missed ft.

But if you slowed that down you would see the ball drop down when hip contact is made and only then does bosh get a hand on the ball.

I thought greens play on Lebrun looked clean but I have only seen it once.

Did none of you saying this watch the ECF? They called a touch foul on Wade hitting Paul George's hand after he released a 3 with 2 seconds left...

Exactly. Close calls like this should not be automatic whistles at the buzzer. It was obviously a difficult call at the time, so everyone shouldnt freak out because the ref swallowed his whistle rather than let a dubious foul call decide the game

I have no issue with the refs not calling it. My issue is that if its called with 7 minutes left in the second quarter it should be called there. A foul is a foul regardless of time on the clock. That's like saying well there is two seconds left, I'm just going to fish hook and eye gouge this guy because they aren't going to call it since its at the buzzer.

Meh, it looked like without the bump Bosh would've still gotten a finger on it to disrupt it. It would have been an ugly attempt regardless and Green wasn't striking it tonight behind the arch.

No way was a foul on Green. Lebron lowered his shoulder to create space. Green reached up and got a piece of the ball as he was falling back. Best defensive play of the game.

Way worse fouls weren't called all game for/against both teams.

I'm fine with a no-call in that situation.

They see it they see it. It kills em to watch Lebrons push to be potential greatest player ever. It seriously kills em. Just like when Lebron misses a last second shot. I hate it. I just don't usually start dumb threads about it.

I think it was a good block. I saw plenty of fouls that weren't called so why call a foul there?

I actually remembered that right after posting. Didn't feel like editing

Very rarely called
