Clippers vs Thunder Game 5 Clips (Video)

The Ibaka play wasn't a foul. At first viewing I wondered how the L could really see the contact given his position.

The OOB was called correctly based on the NBA's rules.

The CP3 foul was a textbook example of the sort of play the league told officials to watch for in its playoff POE video.

Agree on all three.

1. No foul on Ibaka.

2. Barnes fouled Jackson, but I can see how it was missed.

3. Easy foul call on the 3-pointer.


CP3 was fouled on the last play of the game, need that replay. The outside defender (Jackson??), hit CP3 on the right bicep, causing him to fumble the ball.

What did the defender do wrong?

Hit the shooter on the elbow when the ball was still in the hand.

But the defender was straight up and the shooter created the contact. This is a prime example of the play I was talking about in the other thread.

This play is a prime example of a text book foul on a jump shooter. CP3 flexed his hand into BW's elbow.

If the defender goes straight up, there's no way he contacts the shooter's elbow the way he does.

I am a completely biased long-time Clippers fan, so my views are tainted.

1) Ibaka play was a foul. Both C and L have the foul call and agree that it seemed like a difficult angle from the L.

2) Apparently the OOB call is correct based on NBA rules. I am not sure it was the contact with the left hand that made the ball go OOB though as I see Jackson's right hand causing it to go OOB, but I have no clue how that rule is worded/written so that may be irrelevant.

3) The foul on the three is tough to swallow. I see a vertical defensive player and contact only occurs due to the offensive player's motion. I could see a foul if Paul was moving into Westbrook at all, but since I see him as vertical, I do not see a foul.

4) Regardless, Paul was fouled on the last play, but neither C, nor L were in a good position to see it. L was the only one that could see, but Ibaka stepped right in front.

Again, completely biased and they never should have been in that position if they could have held on to the ball, not set an illegal screen, and played better transition defense at the end.

I don't think this qualifies as "straight up."
