That was an easy offensive foul call...Carmelo used a "swim" move in the process of getting post position when the defense was in a legal position. Monty McCutchen was all over it as lead. The ole "let the players decide the game/can't call that at the end of the game" is probably chapter one of the Announcer's Book of Really "Good" Announcing ©.
I do admit that sometimes I enjoy listening to the announcers of a team who feel like they were "wronged" on such obvious calls. Stupid can be very entertaining!
