Final minute of Game 7. One point game. Two of the savviest players in history, Chris Paul and James Harden, both bet on the same move: the flop.

Did anyone see Marc Davis’ comments regarding a backcourt violation his crew called a few weeks ago? Sometimes the backcourt rules can be tricky to understand/grasp and even more difficult to execute in live action for officials.

Tough call to make there. Looked like OKC lowered his shoulder, as House tried to avoid him. Rockets may want to challenge this one #RocketsThunder
Was this a legal move by Harden? A move he makes at least 6-7x per game?
This is the called Harden travel late in the half. Harden made the stepback three and they took it off the board. It isn't as seamless as his stepback usually is but I don't think it's a travel.
Anybody watching the officials in this Houston/OKC game? #OKCvsHOU

Players Have Done A Better Job With Verticality In Recent Years ... Making Flopping More Obvious For All Parties Concerned. Giving Players A Head's Up About Rule Specifics Is Also Important ... So They Recognize Defenders Have A Right To Space On The Floor Also. #GoUpStrong

Hardaway got bailed out on that call. Hopefully a challenge opportunity for the Clippers #clippersvsmavs Don’t think it will get overturned, but a weak call.

Good call on offensive foul on George. Lot of acting on defense, but it’s the right call #clippersvsmavericks
What’s your guys’ experience officiating a big man who is much larger than everyone else, and he/she has a habit of overreacting/flopping? I make an effort to talk to the player early in the game to set the tone of what’s a foul/what’s not. Decreases injury possibilities too.
Brad Stevens to the refs, after Joel Embiid draws another foul: “He gets to flop all over. Everything’s a flop."

Think the refs missed a foul that last play on Burke’s driving layup. Defender forced a change in direction by initiating illegal contact mid-air. #clippersvsmavericks

What do you guys think about Kristaps’ ejection last night? Have you ever thrown out a player/coach/fan?

Patience will be paramount during today's #mshsl board of directors meeting, which begins at 9 a.m. The agenda consists of 32 items. Return to Participation (fall activities) is the 23rd item on the agenda. This will be a lengthy meeting. I will Tweet updates as warranted.

5 points, 4 boards in a loss 🙌🏼🔥💪 I’ll stop hating on the guy - I just love how the media salivates over every move he makes

You can't leave it a judgement call in any way. Either have to leave it how it is or stop those reviews.

The most casual technical foul of all time by Scott Foster 😂 #NBAonTNT

Good challenge by the Clippers. Didn’t look like Davis had position in time and Kawhi was euro-stepping to avoid contact. This one will be reversed #NBAonTNT

Looks like I was wrong. I think that’s two bogus offensive calls on Kawhi tonight.
Seriously... what’s the deal, coach? Play the guy!

Is this summer league? Or why isn’t the man in the game? Gotta play to win these games #NBAonTNT

I’m tweeting like I’m a huge Pelicans fan or something.
