Bizarre call in OKC-LAC

[Gurleyman]

Paul drives and dishes to Jordan for a dunk. Collison thought Paul was going to shoot and went airborne for the block. As Jordan was dunking, Collison landed on Paul, who put his arm out to brace himself and Collison fell. Offensive foul on Paul.

Totally bizarre call. Changed momentum too.

Paul kinda shoved his crotch/pulled his leg back. Paul also is good at punching balls.

Actually he aims for the chest.

Collison definitely sold it, but it was not incidental contact, as was described by the OP. Paul definitely pushed off with his forearm.

Actually, on further watching - Paul grabbed his leg and pretty much pulled him down in what was close to being kinda dirty. Watching live and on the first replay in the game, it looked like Collison was going to land on him and Paul didn't do much other than put his arm out to brace himself. There was a better angle on a gif where it actually looks like Collison wasn't going to touch him at all. The ref was on it more than I thought.

He's no Cliff Paul.
