I've never seen that, I think I saw it in college one time 30 years ago.

Never seen it in the NBA.

That is, I mean, unconscionable.

I don't even understand what just happened.

Loose ball, diving on the floor, 80 feet from the basket, and you're going to give a guy two free throws to decide the game when people are scrambling for the ball.

Just give them a timeout.

Give them a timeout and let the players decide the game.

That's how you officiate.

Especially because the game was a complete wrestling match.

They didn't call anything.

Steph Curry got hit on the elbow, plain as day on a jump shot.

Just clubbed right on there, no call.

So you've established you're just not going to call anything throughout the game.

It's a physical game.

We're going to call it a loose ball foul on a jump ball situation with guys diving on the floor with the game on the line?

This is a billion-dollar industry.

You've got people's jobs on the line.

I am stunned.

I am stunned.

I give the Rockets credit.

They battled back.

They played great defense all night.

But I feel for our guys.

Our guys battled back, played their asses off, and deserved to win that game or at least have a chance for one stop at the end to finish the game.

And that was taken from us by a call that I don't think an elementary school referee would have made, because that guy would have had feel and said, you know what, I'm not going to decide a game on a loose ball 80 feet from the basket.

I know you had a challenge, you only had one time out left, did you think about challenging?

No.

No.

It wouldn't have been reversed.

And I needed to save it for the ensuing play.

You obviously blew a 6-point lead in the final 70 seconds.

That was obviously the punctuation.

It's our fault.

We didn't score.

We had a turnover on the pass from Draymond to J.K.

We had done a great job taking care of the ball after that first quarter and a half that was a disaster.

And Dray's got to make a good decision there, and he took a chance throwing it to J.K.

He's got to just get the ball back to Steph on that, and he knows he feels terrible in there.

And I could have done a better job getting us into something different, try to free up Steph or J.K.

So we all take it.

We all took part in this one.

I think you guys had six jump-up violations tonight.

How much of that obviously brought to the really, really good defense, but how much was it defense versus you guys finding it?

It was defense.

Their defense was great.

Pressured us all game.

And I think four of them were in the first half, and we couldn't get free.

And then we got control of the game in the second half, did a really good job of taking care of it and bouncing back and doing some nice things.

But we didn't close, bottom line.

What was the difference in the third quarter?

Did you get a buddy going there?

Just took care of the ball and got organized.

Any benefits of not playing until Sunday?

I mean, three days off has been a pretty frenetic experience.

I'm not ready to answer that question.

I'm pissed off.

I wanted to go to Las Vegas.

We wanted to win this cup.

And, you know, we aren't going because of a loose ball foul 80 feet from the basket with the game on the line.

I've never seen anything like it in my life, and that was ridiculous.

Thank you.
