Only thing I could find was the vine I posted a few pages ago. It looked clean from that angle.

I still can't believe Reggie Jackson just didn't give that ball up to KD or Russ who were right next to him.

Bill Simmons called this happening before the game:

@BillSimmons 3h Bennett Salvatore, Tom Washington and Tony Brothers reffing a genuinely important NBA playoff game - what could possibly go wrong?

The lousy refs are about to ruin one team's season. Lock it down. I am assigning @Jpdabrams the Game 5 oral history right now to save time.

?@BillSimmons 2h You can't assign these 3 guys to THIS game. You just can't. I am so disappointed.

?@BillSimmons 1h That was all-time bad. I'm staying off Twitter.

Simmons has had a bit of a crush on the Clippers for a while now, I bet he is pretty upset.

And there were absolutely some questionable calls, as there are in any tight NBA playoff game.

Calls that wouldn't have mattered if LAC hadn't gone into complete meltdown mode. OKC had a meltdown in Game 4, so I'd say that each team has stolen a game from the other at this point.

I hope they both play their best ball from here on out so the officiating is not what we have to remember from an otherwise awesome series.

I agree with that. This is the worst meltdown I've seen in a playoff game since, well, ahem... Game 6. Up 7 with 45 seconds to go, there is no way you should lose.

I thought 5 point leads were safe with a minute to go until the Grizzlies/Thunder series happened

So...I hear my beloved Chris Paul didn't play so well in the final minute. :(

It's pretty funny hearing Doc complain about that considering something similar happened in their favor when they played Golden State.
The refs messed that up, jackson should have been shooting two for sure. You don't hear him complain about the review on the flagrant either.

No one is talking about Westbrook hitting all those FTs, ice in his veins.

Did they ever give a reason why Ibaka wasn't suspended for this game? Dude shouldn't have been on the court last night.

I watch the game and was rooting wholeheartedly for the clippers and the only bad call was the no foul/out of bounds which was actually a fair compromise

Chris Paul lost the game it was one of the worst Derps in the history of bball

If the clippers were to pick between Jackson going to the line and the Thunder in-bounding, they would have picked the latter.

It's not fine. All season long they call it the other way.



It was the right thing to do, IMO.

The Clippers not getting a call from the refs is sweet karma for all the flopping they get away with.

The Clippers got robbed. The flopping rep some ignorant fans keep harping about is BS with this year's Clippers team. They don't flop anymore than any other team in the league. The Thunder have been flopping. The Pelicans flopped in the few games I saw them play this year. It's a league-wide issue, and anybody who has played organized sports knows why teams do it. The stakes are high and they're looking for any advantage possible.

The flopping rep the Clippers have has been rightly earned over the last few seasons and is not BS. The only ignorant fans are the Clipper ones who refuse to acknowledge the obvious.

Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are two of the worst floppers in the league and it's not really disputable.

People see what they want to see, and that's fine. It's what rivalries are all about. I saw the Pelicans play three times this year. Anthony Davis whined like a girl in one of them, got a T for bitching to the refs in one of them, and did some Oscar worthy flopping as well. The whole league does it. The Clippers this year are no worse than anybody else.

Why do you keep bringing up the Pelicans?
