At the end of Game 3...

[A Clockwork Orange]

How is a sliding tackle not called a foul? Lebron straight up slides into Curry, knocking him over and that's a play on? Awful no call. What's almost as bad is all the NBA analysts saying it was such a great "effort" play. It's a foul! Effort or not, he fouled him on that play.

I love Lebron, but the next time he's called for charging into the lane and using his forearm to push his defender off of him will be the first time. And NBA refs are so amazing? I'm not seeing it.

Agreed. I wasn't sure how they didn't see the tackle either.

He hustled, sure. But you can't barrel into people.

NBA Refs are getting destroyed today. After missing calls in Game 2 and the nonsense that occurred at the end of the game last night. On top of that, they have zero consistency throughout the game. One quarter it's UFC and the next it's 2 hand touch rules.

One thing is certain, it's certainly not easy to officiate this type of series. But, unlike other sports, officiating has a huge impact on the game because it's so fast paced.

I'd like to just get some damn travels called consistently. I'm talking all season too.

Apparently you can't review a play on an inadvertent whistle so it should have been GS on a fast break down 3 with 17 seconds left, even though the correct call was made through incorrect means by the officials.

I also hate that Lebron is getting praised for slide tackling Curry for the steal. He's done enough things to rightfully get praised for, committing a foul that doesnt get called because he's Lebron isnt one of them.

Couldn't believe Breen/VanGundy/Jackson didn't even say a peep about this, but it was definately a key play late in the game that helped stop the Golden State comeback.

As big of a A$$ he is, this series could use some Joey Crawford.
