Clippers got robbed.

By the refs, and by Chris Paul. That was some Stevie G-esque choking.

Soft foul, but that was 3 clutch FT's by Westbrook.

Also, what's the point of replay, when you still make the wrong call? corruption.

They just discussed in on TNT, if you hit other player hand,the ball is for player that has the possesion

Forget Chuck etc, it was clearly off Reggie Jackson's hand!

Clippers got robbed.

And this is why I hate OKC.

[Amblève. 4,995]

Gortat and Wall show in game 5.

Beal and Nene's turn in game 6, and there will be a game 7

I love Nene. He's probably the best player when it comes to "assisting" rebounds atm.

If a player has his hand in contact with the ball and an opponent hits the hand causing the ball to go out-of-bounds, the team whose player had his hand on the ball will retain possession.

Based on that rule it was the correct call.

Clippers shouldn't have blown the lead, period.

Yeah the ball was out on Reggie, i wont dispute that,, but whose to say the Clippers would have got the ball inbounds? Whose to say they would hit those freethrows? Whose to say they would close out the game when they were just up by 7!

Anyway, what a win for OKC!! This is the type of shit that Champions do, (ala Spurs). Win the games you dont deserve, especially when at home.

KD was 4/18 but he showed up when it counted, dont know how that 3 went in!

RB was good, but that final shot was an atrocious decison!! He did the same shit vs GSW but made the shot, but in a playoff series with 6 seconds still left on the clock how in the world do you justify a contested pull up 3pt shot.....I cant even with him sometimes.

Charles and Kenny summed up that game perfectly in the final 2 minutes. It was poor play all around. But ultimately CP3 and Co. cost the Clippers that game, no two ways about it. Up by 7 on the road, all you need is one bucket in those final minuetes and its game over. Too Bad.

*They just made the same call in the Brooklyn vs Heat game that everyone was crying about yesterday!

Too bad this aint hockey, very unlikely to dig out of a 3-1 hole.

you guys really shouldnt have been down 3-1 to begin with. Game 3 was sort of understabable (everyone always has 'that' game in a series) but game 4 was a real shocker.

It would be nice for the NBA if it went to 7 games seeing how Spurs/Heat are takin care of business.

TBH The wizards really only need Beal and Wall to gain playoff experience, and build up on that bench because its just way to damn old. Lmaoo

Beal has been good, but Wall so inconsistent. He just needs to attack the paint consistently, but settles for jumpers he isn't even good at

And yep, it's hard to come back from 3-1 - but if there's 1 team that can let it happen atm, it's probably the Pacers.

Wall's jumper is beyond broken it's weird because it was looking better during the regular season but he seems to be back at square one. He needs to get up a millions shots in the summer and really work on it.

Heat-Pacers

OKC-Spurs...

Toss up series, both if them. Interested to see who goes to the finals. I would prefer Indy-OKC. Anyone but the Heat, please.!

I think Miami will sweep Pacers (that is if they even get past the Wiz) tbh. They've been too atrocious.

Also don't write off the Clippers just yet.

Fuckkkk no. Pacers are a tough match up for Miami and Hibbert plays big.time against them. Pacers clinch the series tonight. As do OKC.

Pacers have not been themselves at all this playoffs though so it won't be the same. Still think that if they don't up their game massively they'll get sweeped.

We'll see what happens tonight though.

[Sheva. 5,373]

My god. Wizards lost every single game that was close in the 4th quarter thanks to bad play and rushed shots.

West was amazing though, felt like the knocked down every shot for them in the 2nd half.

Still, play of the game = Beal taking the ball from Hibbert and knocking down the 3 in transition

Houghhhh!!!! Told ya! Bring on the Heat, Blue Collar Gold Swagger!!!

I didn't really say Pacers wouldn't beat Wiz - I said that Clippers stand a good chance in doing so tonight against OKC. Besides, I was talking about Heat potentially sweeping the Pacers. Even if they don't, Heat will still take it in 5 or 6.
