Its insane how much money game 7 means for the NBA. Theres no way that didn't cross the ref's mind. Makes me glad I didn't have money on the game.

Ginobli walked first. I don't feel bad on that one.
Green got fouled hard, but they'll never call that.
San Antonio had plenty of chances to win this thing, and should have, but they didn't get the job done.
Fantastic game. Games like that helped me to love basketball in the first place.

Calling a foul on the Green shot would've made for ultimate drama. Green could go to the line for 3 free throws with the game on the line. That is what makes people love basketball. Two $$$ driven no calls, makes me not want to watch anymore.

It should have been a foul call for sure.
I'm just saying that the Spurs blew more chances than the refs could have.
Its funny how all you guys that are complaining that the Spurs got fouled, but didn't say anything when the Spurs were on there big run in the 3rd and numerous Heat guys were grtting mugged and hacked but no said a word. The refs were consistant on fouls.

What's really funny is how the Spurs are one of the "most complained about" teams all season long when it comes to flops and preferential treatment by the refs, but because they're playing the Heat, all those fans that were previously doing all the complaining have jumped on the bandwagon and now act like the Spurs are somehow the victims of some NBA conspiracy. Please.
I thought Bosh got a clean block on Green, lower body contact or not. IMO that's not a foul. I'm not a fan of either team, but the fouls were called fairly evenly. Heat got mugged many times with no call.
As for the Ginobili call - I don't watch much NBA - is it now legal to take three steps with the ball? Is there some silly continuation rule?

Just because you touch the ball, doesnt mean you can simultaneously hip-check the player out of bounds.
I thought the LBJ fastbreak reversal in the final 2 minutes was the worst call/no call..... he not only took 3 steps (not called), but also gave a forearm shiver to the chest (not called) AND clearly lost the ball out of bounds (missed call, later reversed).
Free throws at the critical moments is what cost the Spurs the ball game. They had them beat, it was over.... only.... to blow critical free throws at the end of regulation (Leonard and Ginobli).
