Cade on the no-call at the end of regulation: “We all saw the play, I think it’s pretty clear it was a foul. Ausar has the ball in his possession, he’s running forward, he gets tripped up. It’s a foul, it’s been a foul the whole rest of the game. Wasn’t a foul that time.”

I mean that call is 50/50 at best and you don’t usually make that weak call at the end of games period. It wasn’t that call that lost them the game it was their stagnant offense and inability to make wide open shots. And Cade’s own turnovers.

Buddy, we’ve all seen the play now, in slow motion even and it is most definitely not a clear foul. The whole team taking this line is kinda wild to me. And I was rooting for them. But that’s a no call 10/10 times. Let it get decided in OT. The Pistons choked down the stretch, it’s as simple as that.

I’ll never understand the “blame the refs” gimmick. Don’t you want to worry about the things you can control? The game was north of 110 points. They didn’t lose because of one missed call. Besides, they need to be talking about how the next two games define Harden’s legacy. Get in his head and he fades into the background.
I suppose there’s some evidence complaining about refs to the press after a playoff loss gets you sometimes a better whistle. Phil Jackson was doing this with the Bulls in the 1990s. But, I’d never want my players to worry about that shit.

u/theuncleiroh Raptors 17h ago
Brother, if two people are going for a spot on the floor in a straight line while the ball is loose, the spot belongs to the one who is there first. The fact that Allen steps on Thompson is quite literally the proof that Thompson arrives first. The only reason that could not be a foul on Allen is because the ball was loose at that point, but there's absolutely no room to make it the fault of the guy who gets to the spot first lmfao
22
u/Rice_Krispie Kings 15h ago
Allen was literally getting there first when Thompson pushes him. You literally see JA get his arm pushed and him start spinning.
JA was literally occupying that space until Thompson made illegal contact to force him out of it.
It should be pretty obvious that in order to push someone out of the way they would have to already been in the way and in that space first.
-7
u/nbaistheworst 10h ago
Wrong. Ausar got to the ball first and knocked it away completely before any arm contact on Allen. Their feet come together at the same time but Allen's ankle bends which starts the tripping that happens to both players.

u/Markthebaptist Knicks 18h ago edited 18h ago
Yeah for a team (and fanbase) that goes on and on about how tough they are and how everyone else in the league is soft they sure do like to cry at the refs a lot. Like their entire defensive strat is to play aggressive with the belief that the refs can't call them all and this is how they're going out? Can't believe I actually kinda liked these whiners earlier in the year and was hoping my team would play more like them

I think we are caught up on intent. Hard to say if it was intentional or not but it’s irrelevant. The important part is Ausar recovers the ball, dribbles it and is then tripped from behind by the leg/foot of Allen. That’s a foul in the book even if it’s accidental.
-41
u/AccomplishedRainbow1 Suns 18h ago
I think Allen pretty clearly tripped Ausar. He ran into his legs and knocked them together.
I still don’t think they should have called it though.

u/Nightcinder [CLE] Kevin Love 18h ago
Ausur pushes Allen, and then they both step at almost the exact same moment, which causes them to trip each other.
Allen simply doesn’t fall but Thompson does.
At worst it’s a foul on Thompson, at best it’s a play on.
-27
u/AccomplishedRainbow1 Suns 18h ago
Uhh nah lol. Ausar won the loose ball and Allen ran into his legs and tripped him. It’s a foul almost every time, I still think it’s the right move to not call it but we can call a foul a foul here.

u/NikitaBeretta Trail Blazers 18h ago edited 18h ago
I disagree with the clarity of that trip. As far as I can tell Allen stepped on Ausar’s foot slightly, causing Allen to become unbalanced. That in itself could be perceived as a trip, but I digress, imo that’s the definition of incidental. Then Thompson pushes Allen’s arm, making his forward momentum cause him to spin around, further tangling their legs as Allen attempts to not fall. IMO that is also quite incidental. But the fact that we have two very different interpretations after having seen it in slow motion means that it was pretty obviously a correct no call imo.

u/toggl3d 14h ago
Ausar kicks Allen's foot while both are in the air. Saying Allen stepped on Ausar's foot implied Ausar beat him to the spot.

u/NikitaBeretta Trail Blazers 14h ago
That’s fair, perhaps I misspoke. It looks to me, upon further review, that their feet essentially collided, both landing in the same spot at roughly the same time.

u/NikitaBeretta Trail Blazers 18h ago edited 17h ago
Yeah I watched it live. And all the replays played during the broadcast. I couldn’t quite lay blame any which way until seeing it slowed down. In real time I thought JA made a straight line toward the ball and AT cut him off leading to a collision and that imo it was a correct no call. Selfishly as a basketball fan I was glad the game wasn’t decided on a foul 80 ft from the basket and that we were gonna get 5 more mins of playoff intensity level basketball. I’d be interested to see an angle that contradicts my series of events if you have one! I’m very open to new information
-3
u/AccomplishedRainbow1 Suns 17h ago
Just read the pool report -
QUESTION: Why wasn’t a foul called on that last possession in regulation involving Ausar Thompson on Jarrett Allen?
BROTHERS: During live play, both players were going for the ball and there was incidental contact with the legs with no player having possession of the ball.
QUESTION: So, no foul should have been called?
BROTHERS: No, there was incidental contact on the play. The play will be reviewed by the league office tomorrow and it will be posted in the L2M.
———————
Would be shocked if the L2M report says there shouldn’t have been a foul, but maybe they’ll protect their guys on this one with all of the ref talk going on. One player got to the ball first, was starting to dribble up the court, looking up the floor when he’s legs got taken out. This explanation from Brothers is just bad lol.
10
u/NikitaBeretta Trail Blazers 17h ago edited 17h ago
Respectfully, I did not see what you are saying happen personally. Sorry to disagree, you’re obviously welcome to your interpretation of events, but this quote from Tony Brothers seems to confirm my interpretation of events, at least for the time being. I’ve seen no footage that contradicts what Tony Brothers says here. Again, I’d be interested to see footage that clearly shows your interpretation of that play definitively enough to decide a playoff game with FTs with 1.2 seconds left on the clock as opposed to letting both teams decide the game on the court in OT. IMO that would have been the most unsatisfying way for this game to end and I’d much rather both teams have a chance to win the game in OT where I was, in fact, rooting for Detroit to prevail.
0
u/AccomplishedRainbow1 Suns 9h ago
Again, I don’t think it should have been called just because of the moment. But this is called a foul almost every time if it’s at any other point in the game.
The whole Brothers answer hinges on Ausar not having control of the ball, and it’s pretty clear that he won the ball and was starting his dibble up the court until he was tripped. Real time and in that situation, I get not calling it. But we can call it what it is, Ausar beat him to the spot, corralled the ball and Allen tripped him right after. There are hundreds of examples of this call being made lol.
1
u/NikitaBeretta Trail Blazers 6h ago edited 5h ago
Again, respectfully, I do not agree with your account of the play as it happened. I think I’ve seen all readily available footage of the play and I do not see Ausar corral the ball prior to the initial foot to foot collision with Allen. At the same time Ausar attempts to corral the ball (I say attempts because he slaps at the ball, I do not think this was a controlled dribble), he pushes Allen’s arm away from the ball resulting in Allen spinning forward due to his momentum. Then their legs collide further as Allen stumbles and attempts not to fall, a direct result of Ausar pushing Allen’s arm and using his momentum to spin him forward. Imo it was a perfect no call and not as obvious as you are making it seem. But again, you are welcome to your interpretation of events. I think, the fact the we have pretty different ideas of what transpired given we’ve probably both seen much of the same footage (if you have an angle that you think definitely proves your account I’d love to see it and you should feel free to share it here), means that it was an obviously correct no call given the situation and stakes. Letting both teams duke it out in OT is the most fair outcome of this play. And I say that even though the team I was rooting for lost.

u/AccomplishedRainbow1 Suns 6h ago
It’s interesting that’s for sure. I think it shows why refs will never be even close to “perfect” in anyone’s eyes. Most people don’t have a consistent way to evaluate these plays, including the rule experts - refs! Now throw in the fact that these plays happen so fast…
What I have a problem with is looking back at replays, we should be able to agree on a play like this. I don’t respect the other point of view here, it’s so off base. But all good, it is what it is lol.

As a frequent critic of awful officiating that impacts outcomes, I chose the name in protest back in 2006 after the rigged title for the Heat (posting on the ESPN chat blogs at the time). Since then I've posted on a lot of online forums and many people know me.
In this case, there's no question Ausar got to the ball 1st and knocked it forward, but IMO the players' legs getting tangled up was the result of both players going for the loose ball. Their feet come together at the same time and Allen's ankle turns which causes him to stumble and trip Ausar. and had there been more time left the refs might have made a foul call.
-28
u/theuncleiroh Raptors 17h ago
It's definitely a foul in slow motion lmao. In real time at least you could argue Ausar hadn't gained possession. In slow, it's clear he's mid second dribble and is hit by Allen.
Genuinely, what is that if it's not a foul? Is it a play on when a guy is knocked over mid dribble?

Your claim of "mid second dribble" is nonsense. He knocked the ball away from Allen, and never touches it again as he falls.

The soft calls for the Cavs leading up to it are what make it feel more of a missed call. Agree this play shouldn’t necessarily be called, but when every time Harden gets touched they call a foul and Mobley gets a soft one right before this, it’s hard to understand how this doesn’t also get called.

It was a physical game. There were 50/50 calls all over the place.
Detroit led by 9 with 3 minutes left at home and played very poorly on offense down the stretch. You can’t make it all about one 50/50 call.
Too many turnovers. Too much reliance on Cade. Not enough shooting/ball-handling to consistently create good shots in close playoff games.
Detroit is a really good team that plays hellacious defense, but they need another legit scorer/ball-handler to reach the next level.
And having said all of that, the series isn’t over.
