Are you telling me given the choice of
1) Jacskon going to the line with 6 seconds to go
2) OKC inbounding the ball with 6 to go
That the Clippers would pick option 1?

Right. At best the Thunder tie the game. The clips then inbound with a chance to score. If they don't, the game goes to overtime.

I don't think this guy is "playing" with a full deck.

Bump for the other poster's question to LA:

If you really believe that, why didn't they foul immediately after the inbound then?

quote:Had the option when? After the missed call when Jackson lost the ball out of bounds? Is that what you're talking about? If they had known Westbrook was going to get a homer call on his 3 point attempt and go to the line to shoot 3 free throws, then they would have.
LAC had the option to have #1, but they didn't take it, why not?
If that was a foul, when Paul barely touched him how the hell was it not a foul when Westbrook draped himself all over Paul on the inbounds pass that led up to that? How the hell was it not a foul when Jackson swiped Paul's arm on the last play of the game?
There was several bad calls in the last 47 seconds of the game. One went the Clippers way (Barnes fouled Jackson); four went the Thunder's way. The refs determined the outcome of the game. That's the point Doc Rivers made in his postgame press conference and I agree with him 100%.

To be fair, you STILL haven't answered the question.

quote:I did answer the question. Let me try it another way. They got a bad call, they played through, they played good D, and they got another bad call. They got screwed by the refs twice in the span of 3 seconds. In hindsight, they would have been better off if the foul on Barnes had been called. In hindsight. That's the point I made originally. The way things turned out, it would have been better for the Clips if the foul on Barnes had been called.

The question is, since you said the Clippers would prefer option 1, why didn't they foul OKC immediatley on the inbounds? That is the question.
To be fair, what you said has nothing to do with the actual question.

I give up.

Seemed like a simple question, very odd.
Ok.

That's what you're doing here.
If you want my honest opinion, I'm fairly certain you realized you were boxed in, so you just are intentionally avoiding the question, which is why I kept pressing you on it.
You haven't even touched the question, much less answered it. The question was why didn't LAC foul, you never even came to close to answering that question, you can't spin that any other way.
Posted on 5/14/14 at 12:45 pm to L.A.
I feel like it's a really simple question.
You said the Clippers would have preferred the free throws to the inbounds pass. Why didn't they foul on the subsequent inbounds pass if they preferred that option?
Am I missing something?

It's an answer to a question that wasn't asked.
