It made people forget that the Warriors were making their third quarter run with him and then he missed a WIDE open dunk and got subbed out soon after. This series isn't just about regular star power. What's wonderful about this series is that it also features 4 Shaqtin a Fool all-stars in Javale McGee, Swaggy P, JR Smith and Kendrick Perkins, with 1 MVP on each side. No matter who wins, two of them are getting a ring. | ||

A comparable situation is in end of game situations when they go to replay to see who touched the ball last when it goes out of bounds and then they have to give the ball to one player because he slapped the arm of the opponent and not the ball (a foul, but he didnt touch the ball last and they cant call a foul). Getting the right call is always better.

It wasn't a "clearly" wrong call when 3 experienced professionals saw it as a charge, your opinion doesn't really come into it. Most fans are clueless and think any movement or not having your feet set means it can't be a charge. If the initial call on the floor stood this would have been a non-issue compared to the blatant fouls that they actually missed. As for Tristan I agree he should've been suspended (the initial ejection was shit officiating though), as long as Draymond also got suspended for raking Lebron's face. | ||

I don't think Draymond did that on purpose but that his intention was to block Lebrons vision of the rim. But anyway it should easily be a flagrant one in my opinion since it is pretty bad contact to the face and could potentially be dangerous. Ejection would be too much imo and suspension is just fan-talk. | ||

There is a difference between the two. Draymond deserves an F1 or even F2 because of the damage. It was still clearly a play to obstruct Lebron's view of the ring, and there was no intent to harm Lebron (which Nunn also pointed out). The harm was inadvertent but not malicious, and F1 or F2 is deserved, but not suspension. Tristan Thompson on the other hand deserves suspension because it was a clear frustration non-basketball play. This is aggravated by two things, he did it on Shaun, hands-down one of the most inoffensive nice guys in the league who will never be involved in bullshit, and Shaun had a valid reason to shoot it as the shot clock was running out, even considering the unspoken gentlemen's rule during garbage time. Refs ruled it already F1 (down from F2) with $25,000 fine. | ||

yup u can see the baseline official wanted to call a charge (at 0:38-0:39)but the sideline referee wanted to signaled a block (at about 0:49-0:50) | ||

Its arguably double standards, but its good that we didnt get more cheap suspensions. cheap suspension would have been suspending kevin love for stepping on the court. thompson flat out basically punched (even if it was a very weak one) a guy and threw the ball at his face. now the warriors can do the same and the league has set the precedent that it's only a 25k fine. send zaza out there, throw some elbows, get thrown out, punch lebron in the face, pay a 25k fine, whoopie doo. | ||

And definitely no suspension on Love. That would just be stupidly cheap. | ||

By rule that would have been a jump. BUT by selecting charge, and saying it needs to be reviewed because of the restricted area rule they could resolve it. The charge call was a combination super-duper star call for LBJ and the baseline ref trying to look cool. | ||
