Everybody in the world except for referee Marc Davis saw the blatant offensive foul on Dion Waiters.

Predictably, the no-call set Twitter aflame, and oddly enough, no one was more irate than Magic Johnson.
Waiters foul on Ginobili was the worst missed call in playoff history.

Meanwhile, Dallas Mavericks team owner Mark Cuban used the opportunity to continue his grudge against officials. Even though it was his bitter Texas rivals that were affected, Cuban still implored them to make a protest.
If that happened to us on a throw in we would already have the protest written. Misapplication of throw In rule. If only to make a point

Dear reporters in San Antonio. Please ask to talk to the refs. One is supposed to be available to speak

As for the players themselves, they didn't take so kindly to an official missing such a blatant infraction - something every player can relate to.
Look forward to the probable apology from the @NBA on that inbound play.. Too bad an apology doesn't do anything tho. #InsideTheNBA
