Yeah, there's no way you can tell that from THAT image.....you want to post a different angle or a zoomed in one then fine. But based off THAT photo, it doesn't prove he was fouled.
 
You don't believe his pinky is wrapped around the area between his wrist and elbow in that picture?
 
No, you can't tell anything from the picture you posted....it looks to ME, that his hand is BEHIND RW's forearm. Not saying he was or wasn't fouled but that pic proves nothing.
 
Really...we're talking about a series defining call. You can't call a pinky foul. There is a foul on every single possesion, but it's not called cause it would ruin the game. Even if his pinky touched his elbow you can't make that call imo. Not to mention to me it looked like Paul went straight up. He has the right to go straight up and challenge a shot. Any pinky contact was initiated by Westbrook going forward imo. Having said all that Paul played like a jv high school player down the stretch.
 
I'm obviously looking at it through homer glasses but that view shows the pink wrapped around which would indicate more of his hand made contact. Even the smallest amount of contact affects the shot and regardless of where the player is jumping you can't make contact with the elbow area.

Westbrook isn't a good shooter but the shot was clearly affected by the contact.

All of this
 
Are the Clippers even arguing that wasn't a foul? Doc certainly complained about the refs review. Why stop there?

Meanwhile Russ possibly gets tapped with a pinkie and "its the right call"

I didn't say he got tapped by a pinky. I said the picture shows the pinky wrapped around his arm which indicates more of the hand being on the shooter. No amount of contact should be tolerated on a shooters arm and you know that. That is exactly how it is written in the rule book. THe physical play is about rebounding and driving tot he basket and fighting through screens. Foul calls like that have been always called.

So when I talked about Wizards driving to the hole and getting hacked on the arms, it's ok bc it's "physical play?"

No, if you get touched on the arms while you are in a shooting motion it should always be called a foul. That is exactly how the game is supposed to be called. That cannot be argued.
