1. Oops.
2. Great no call.
3. Huge stop by Bosh!

1. Bronny whined so it must have been a foul.
2. Is a foul, or call the very obvious travelling violation.
3. All Bosh had to guard was a small area from the 3 point line with a small amount of time on the clock. Now in the lane with Tim Duncan is a whole different matter.

The only thing even close to a foul there was Lebron's elbow in the defender's chest.

I too have a foul, twice even. Allen was across the top of Ginobli's arm as he was gathering the ball and again as he was trying to bring it up to shoot.

In HS or NCAA, that would/should be a travel (as was #1 too). But the NBA rules (depending on which copy you read) say it is or is not a travel.

I'm OK with that no call.

James gets away with that move on a consistent basis. Ginobili gets that called on a consistent basis. Bosh, the third member of the Big 2 1/2 finally earned a bit of his paycheck for once.

1. Great no call.
2. I can see why it wasn't called. L is only one with a good look and Diaw crosses in front of him right as the play was finishing. Did it look like he was about to call it, then put his arm back down? Or do you think he was making the ol' "he hit the ball" signal? Javie's explanation was something along the lines of officials want to be 100% sure in this situation and that Allen hit the ball first, causing it to come loose, then the contact occurred.
3. Good block. No foul.

Agreed on all counts.
