So The NBA feels the need to appease the Clippers by stating that they missed a foul call that could have tied the game late in the fourth quarter of the Warriors win. But watching the replay does anyone actually agree with the NBA that Paul was even fouled?

It seems, at least to me, that Paul just lost the ball possibly due to extremely light contact to his other hand. It looked as if any significant contact between the players actually occurred after Paul had already lost control of the ball.

It was a foul, but the reason it is so important is because it was in the last two minutes and the play was reviewed under instant replay and even though it was a foul it went off of Pauls finger tips last. The original call was Clippers ball but when they viewed it on instant replay that can’t go back and say it was a foul which is kinda weird. Instant replay was only for determining possession of the ball, but since they foul wasn’t called and it went off of Pauls hand last it was Warriors ball in a very crucial situation.

Where is the foul? It’s just a great acting by award nominee CP3, Draymond just touched the ball, enough said.

  yeah, i couldn’t really tell from the replay if green really came in contact except for paul’s flop job.
  it’s almost like in pick up ball when someone calls a "reaching in" foul (even though reaching in isn’t really a foul).

You can’t stick your whole arm in there, miss the entire ball, hit his chest, and force me to dribble the ball out without it being a foul… Come the hell on… That is a reaching foul too… Which is actually a name of a foul… But I think in the NBA they would call it blocking… (Regardless its illegal)
Slow motion is a gift and a curse… It sometimes makes plays seem too harsh and sometimes make a play seem like little contact was given… That was a stupid reach by Green because you shouldn’t stop a player’s progression by sticking your arm out. You reach with your outside arm because doing what he did results in a foul… Which should have been called… Dumb play by Green and he got bailed out big time…
You never go in the way he did without knowing for sure you will get the ball… Thats why when you normally see players steal the ball that way they go all the way in… He knew he did something stupid and fouled him by the way he pulled his arm out of there… But regardless its crying over spoiled milk at this time…
