Those refs are on a mission! Horrible calls

due to the Donald Sterling situation, getting the Clippers out of the public eye as quick as possible was the best thing for the NBA....

Chris Paul got fouled by Westbrook with 17 seconds left, NO CALL. This was the first of bullshit call after bullshit call, and the countless fouls the Thunder committed including Reggie Jackson's reach in at the very end which was not called neither.

I think there were three consecutive mistakes made by the referees: the ball should have been clippers' ball, CP3 didn't foul Westbrook, and Jackson fouled CP3 at the last play. This was unacceptable and should not happen in NBA.

1. Matt Barnes foul not called 2. Thunder ball 3. Foul on Westbrook 4. Reggie Jackson reach in on CP

Barnes did foul him but there were looking on who touched it last going out of bounce which was obviously off of Jackson if they're reviewing to see who touched it lasted you cant check if its a foul

I hate the thunder, but this game wasn't rigged. Just poorly officiated

At the 1:23 mark, the ball is clearly in the hand of the offensive player. There is no question. The swipe by the defender was made at the 1:22 point and then the ball goes forward. The only way the ball could have gone forward after the swipe would be if the ball came out of the offensive guys hand and he never touched after the ball was tipped.

I personally think that the refs felt so bad that they didn't call the foul that they decided to give okc the ball because think about it, if the clippers get the ball on that play then everyone in Oklahoma City would flip out saying "the game is rigged because that foul wasn't called" Its a no win situation for the official so I think the league should make it so you can review a foul and see if the foul actually happened. If it's to make the call correct then why not change it

And Jackson fouled him on that last play

Man, Rivers can never seem to catch a break with the refs. This goes back even when he was a player getting fouls called on him, for playing great defensive and keeping good scorers from dominating the game.

Nba is rigged. Okc is a really exciting team because of Westbrook and the MVP Durant which means more money for the nba by the fans purchasing tickets, merchandise, watching the game on tv etc. Then the spurs beat okc because it would be the spurs thrilling redemption against the team that beat them in the 2013 finals the Miami heat. NBA only cares about making more money

Should have been 1) Jackson shooting two free throws, or 2) clipper ball. They just kind of pretended the ball went out on L.A., when it clearly did not

this is the game that changed my outlook on basketball. thought it was definitely fixed. took me until game 5 this year draymond suspension to finally stop watching this garbage tho. nba no different than the wwe

As a clipper fan just saying. The nba is rigged horrible calls all favoring the okc and I agree that it was a foul on cp3 clearly hit him on the elbow

This game was so righed

If russell westbrook got fouled on that 3 point attempt (2:25), then there is most certainly a foul on reggie jackson (3:45) at the end. C'MON REFS STOP RIGGING THE NBA

They went to the books and changed the rule right after the game.

Those who are saying that they called it OKC ball because Barnes fouled him, they called a out of bounds so they should be looking for the out of bounds not the foul.

Sure, the referees made terrible calls at the end of the game, but there's no way the Clippers should let this happen. You let a 7-point lead with :49 seconds to go slip away.

Doc agrees reggie and russ were fouled. He only disagrees with the thunder getting the ball back.

I wouldnt say nbas rigged but refd gave homecourt advantage on that call forsure

It's not rigged; the refs just made stupid calls. They deserved this win for sure. Okay blowing the lead was the Clippers fault, but in the playoffs game 5 everyone is desperate so comebacks happen. However, it was quite clear OKC wasn't gonna be able to finish the job. Then the refs came in. Now it's a stupid NBA rule that you cannot overturn a foul call. The replay is there specifically for that. However, Jackson FLOPPED his ass off and they rewarded him for it by giving him the ball! And then there was that bogus call on Westbrook where his arm got tickled while he was shooting. They don't call fouls when people knock the three point shooter over all the time but this is a foul? With 5 seconds left in GAME 5 of the playoffs? Nuh uh 99 percent of refs would say play on and Clippers would probably have won. But credit to OKC cause that comeback was still sick and Westbrook was clutch on those free throws (even though the initial shot was stupid as hell).

Paul obviously fouled on the 3pt shot but no doubt it was Clipper ball

Man I know that the refs usually make a couple of calls people don't agree with but this is ridiculous. Three bad calls in 20 seconds favoring the home team. The Clippers should have won this game and taken a 3-2 lead in the series and they might have won game 6. So if the refs didn't make those calls then it could've changed the whole playoff picture. I hope these refs got fired they don't deserve their job if they make these calls.

Even Chris admitted he lost the game for them after the game and the refs made the right calls. Look at the post game interview. Doc, of course disagreed though, but who you gonna trust. The man watching or the man playing. If anyone should say it was rigged, it's Paul but he didn't If you wanna say he is scared of the league, Chris this year said maybe a ref, a female one, raising feminists eyebrows, isn't fit to make calls. That's as bad as you can go. He isn't afraid of calling out the league

This gets me so frustrated. Use the replay for the right call!

That was a foul on barnes tho but they should not of called a foul on paul when contesting russ and it looked like a foul on reggie when paul drove on the games last possession

1:13 center screen. Boom goes the dynamite guy?

The Los Angleles Clippers probably would've won the NBA Finals if it wasn't for that call.

Plus Barnes got him on the wrist before Jackson threw the ball out of bounds

And this is why Westbrook will never win a title. Karma.

The refs always make bad calls like in the finals last year on both sides. They have to do a better job of watching the reply thoroughly to make accurate/ better calls

I hate games like this, with all this unnecessary drama. So boring to watch, you're like "who cares who wins at this point, it's just drama, there is no sport."

jackson flopping make Lebron look good

Stupid refs but good video

Ah.this was bs.i can't believe LAC lost.there were other fouls he did not call for clippers.

At least they lost to the Spurs in the WCF.

hi guys i am from greece and i have to say this i cannot say if the refs played for OKC maybe its true i cant argue that...but really is that the refs fault? paul gives OKC the ball when they are two points down without any pressure and then barnes fouls jackson (barnes slaps jackons wrist) they didnt give the foul and they gave them the ball...all i want to say is that it all starts with the stupid mistake of paul who practically gives them the ball a player who is that good cannot make mistakes like that in the playoffs

If it was rigged why didn't reggie get freethrows, when he was hit on the arm. And on the replay, you can see that Chris got Russ's hand. Slightly, but he still got him. Look very closely.

They need to get better referees for next season playoffs

come on for the first 47 and a half minutes the calls went to the clippers and the officiating was just very poor

Rigged? The narrators even said reggie got fouled, that's why the thunder got the ball back. They also said that Chris barely got Russ on the arm. Barely a foul, but still a foul. It was the right call, all you just hating. I wish the ball would go back to the team that got fouled, even when it isn't called a foul, more often. Why reward a team that fouled the other by giving them the ball.

Not rigged. Foul happened, not called, so they should at least get the ball back. Really reggie should have just got free throws. You should be able to call fouls on time outs. Don't hurt both teams because of a bad call, give him freethrows.

Yay, thunders win

NBA's been rigged... Why is the "new"? Of course the was bullshit at the end. Wrong call and a horrible foul called. Why not blow the whistle, put clock at 0 and give the win to the other team. Why play it out?

Reason why I'm not a Basketball fan anymore, every playoff game is fixed Lebron is gonna be in the finals every year no matter what team his in, clippers are one of the best teams in the league all around but they'll never win a championship or go to the finals like the Knicks in the 90s plain simple.

At the time of watching this game live I thought this game was rigged but nah clippers choked not blaming the refs when you blow a 13 point lead with just over 3 minutes to go in the 4th.

i hate thunder and im glad that they are not in the finals this year. and also this game 5 rigged bcs the game was in thunder home court , they cant lose

This game was extremely rigged

Not rigged at all. Stupid theory. If the game was rigged, they would have had it set long before the final minute of the 4th quarter. Plus, if the Thunder missed even one shot, the outcome would have been different. They still had to make the shots.

You're mistaking humanity for rigging. If they gave it to the Clippers, the narrative would be " Clippers get away with foul, game rigged." All the refs had to do was call a foul. They missed it and gave OKC the ball instead. Also if they never got the steal this wouldn't even be a conversation. That's the problem with sports conspiracies or any conspiracy for that matter. CP3 could have shielded the ball or passed it to avoid a steel. Reggie could have passed it and who knows what could happen next. Refs could make the call and Jackson shots free throws. But because this outcome occurred out of infinite possibilities, "sports are rigged". It's ridiculous.
