+1

Plus, Ginobili's elbow to LBJ's neck should have been F1. It all evens out

What a tough game, though. Wonder if the "NCAA's gotten way more physical than the NBA" crowd want to reconsider their answer...

But Coach Van Gundy said it was a foul........

I loved it near the end when he's complaining because there's security people "too close to Tim Duncan" on the sideline. Good grief.

44 seconds left in OT, LeBron James drive, Danny Green strip.

5 seconds left in OT, Manu Ginobili drive, Ray Allen strip.

LBJ/Green play needs no replay. Absolutely a great defensive play by Green and any contact on the play was initiated by LBJ.

We can look at Allen/Manu play again but it was also a good defensive play. Allen had his hand on the ball and the contact came when Manu flailed his arms.

No opinions on the no-call mugging in the corner for the 3-pointer at the buzzer in OT? (I wish we had more than the 1 angle ESPN kept showing)

No foul ... The 3rd video in the thread "Game 6 NBA Finals Plays" has two angles, one from the baseline view.

Their block was clean, and there was only minimal (if any) incidental contact with the body that occured after the block.

I don't have anything there. There's body contact, but both players were moving in the same direction and the block up top was solid. Even in my playing days as a shooter, I would not expect a call on a play like that.

Clean block up top, incidental contact down below, embellished.

I wouldn't call that in a HS game.

I thought the defense on Ginobli was great, too. Got hand in, got ball, contact came after that, much of it initiated by Ginobil.

Three games for McCutchen.

If my memory serves me correctly, Tom Wahington is the only official from last year not to work this year.....

Is that correct ????

Think we may see Zarba next year.....
