Awful no-call at the end of the Spurs game.
 
I can't stand the Spurs or the Lakers, but how do you not call that?

I don't think it is a 3 shot foul, though. I think the foul was before the act of shooting, so it should have been a 2 shot foul. Still, that was pretty bad.

NBA is unwatchable crap.

The refs always put their whistles in their pockets when there is 5 seconds or less. No call is always better than a bad call at the end of a game because there is no chance for a make up call.

In this case, a call could have extended the game into overtime. That seems like a better result than doing nothing given that the foul was pretty blatant.

I thought it was a wonderful no-call.

Let these young warriors battle it out mano-a-mano, instead of having the zebras decide the outcome.

Once again, good triumphs over evil and all is well in the kingdom.

That was awful.

I don't really care either way.

I've been saying for awhile the Lakers are going to win it all.

I pity the Pistons or Celtics.

I hate the Lakers,,,but they're the best team right now. They have that aura of poopy destiny.

The worst call in basketball is the call where a player fakes the shot, the defender jumps straight up, the shooter leans into him, draws contact, and shoots. THIS IS NOT A FOUL. A defender is allowed to jump straight up and the player who initiates contact should be called for a foul.

I like the call last night.

Defender jumps in, shooter leans in, no foul.
Defender jumps straight up, shooter leans in, charge.
Defender jumps in, shooter jumps straight up, defender's jump creates contact, foul on defender.

You can hardly claim that the defender jumped straight up last night. He was running at full sprint to block the shot and took an angle that threw him into the shooter. It was a very obvious foul.

I'd say it was scenario #1 from my post. Both defender and shooter jump forward to meet each other, no foul.
