The question was why didn't LAC foul, you never even came to close to answering that question, you can't spin that any other way.
They didn't foul because they trusted their defense. They played good defense. The refs screwed the Clips by calling a phantom foul on Paul, giving Westbrook 3 free throws.

In hindsight, they would have been better off if the foul had been called on Barnes. It would have taken less time off the clock, and at worst left the Clips tied with possession of the ball.

How's that?

You're contradicting yourself, then. The original question was what would the Clippers choose, you said 1, but now you're stating otherwise.

Much better, actually.

I think you were unintentionally misleading when you're talking about in hindsight what would have been better for LAC, but that wasn't the question posed when given the 2 options.

I think I see the problem here. I said in HINDSIGHT they would choose that, ie if they had known what was going to happen. I didn't say they'd choose it as their primary strategy. The strategy they chose, worked. They refs jobbed them. So in hindsight, yada yada yada.

Yep, I think we got to the bottom of it.

The way the Thunder play basketball is literally the worst form of basketball I've ever seen.

I agree. They are the "dumbest" team I have seen in a long time. I thought it was Harden and the way he played. But obviously, this comes down to coaching.

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



Yep.
