If LAC gets blown out in Game 6, I see this being a rough off season for that team with CP3 basically blowing it coupled along with the owner issues.

Meh, the majority of the attention will be on the sterling case. The team and CP would prolly get a pass because of that

I didn't ever see his right hand comeback in contact with the ball after Barnes hit his left wrist/hand. Not that it matters because if Paul doesn't bail Westbrook out after that horrible decision to take a three the game probably would have been over.

Barnes hand def touched reggies left hand, dont know if it was hard enough to jar the ball loose or what. But his hand definitely hit reggies hand

I love how some of you love to play semantics and ignore the fact that the wrist is considered part of the hand in the NBA.

Actually it does still count as Barnes hit his left hand while he had both hands on the ball and caused him to lose control. Simply put, it was the right call.

There was no "blown" call that cost either team the game. If they reward that ball to the Clippers, this thread would be full of people bitching about how they stole the game from the thunder by missing the foul on Jackson. Instead, they reward the ball to OKC and the exact opposite happens in this thread. It is asinine.

Bottom line, CP3 single-handedly cost the Clippers the game. Period.

I somewhat agree, but missing a foul call is not as bad as missing an out of bounds call after you look at replay over and over.

But like you said, none of thus would have mattered if CP didn't turn the ball over and foul on the 3

Westbrook put that team on his back tonight. This has been a phenomenal series.

The Thunder won a game they probably shouldn't have tonight, while the clips won a game they probably shouldn't have in game 4.

I expect to see each team play their best basketball from here on out.

Yes, it was. He hit his hand while both hands were on the ball causing him to lose it out of bounds. I like how people keep acting like Jackson had only his right hand on the ball at time of Barnes contacting him. that caused him to lose the ball. By the letter of the NBA rules, it was the right call.

In the end, like was stated, the clippers cost themselves the game not the refs.

Couldn't you say this the other way? The ref missed the obvious foul and could have cost OKC the game. Why is it a one way street?

The ball was off Reggie. After a foul not called. But everyone is losing their minds over that 1 call and not giving shite to CP3 who derped over and over. And did you guys miss Durant hitting a 3, then a 2, and also making his FT's? These things had to be done to be in a position to win.

When Westbrook shot the 3, the refs hand went up because they always do dumbass

Reggie did not foul CP3 at the end. Another derp. But you guys want to whine about 1 call when the player was clearly fouled and that should have been called

I was off, but there's no doubt he stepped up. Two 3's, a 2, and 2 for 2 on FT's all within the last 3:27.

Reggie Jackson hit CP3 on the forearm. I'm sure there will be highlights showing it tomorrow online, one of the angles they showed it was pretty obvious- he wasn't even close to ball. CP3 made a dumb play regardless trying to dribble into Ibaka. But Westbrook shot a stupid fricking 3, so I digress.

The way the Thunder play basketball is literally the worst form of basketball I've ever seen. It is eye-gauging to watch. There is absolutely no way in hell that a team that fricking stupid will win a title. They make LeBron's Cavs look like the showtime Lakers.

The more I think about it, it's actually kind of incredible how poorly CP3 played at the end. I wish I could find a GIF of when he turned it over as OKC was trying to FOUL him. WTF was he thinking?
