that foul call was crap

I like win or go home games, gets the best out of the players usually

Heat playing as if they could not care less about this game.

Kerr to golden state

Great fit.  Great hire.

[The Big Train]

It's not because he's from KU but I hate Paul Pierce. Yeah yeah I said "it's not because..." Seriously tho when he shoots 3's and he does that half squat showboat thing. He is a competitor I will give him that but he has always just rubbed me the wrong way

[chum1]

Pierce's game is ugly.  Zero style.

[The Big Train]

Joe Johnson is the real truth

Joe Johnson going off.  Wow.

[Skipper44]

Even LeBron can't stop Iso Joe

JFC these late game calls.

Seeing Mike relegated to being a bench cheerleader hurts.  Sure he's fun to watch, but he has so much talent.  I want to see him out there.

[pissclams]

JFC these late game calls.

it's gotten beyond ridiculous

[_33]

I guess I don't understand the rules, because it makes no sense.

Jeez Christ

[chum1]

Oh, crap.  Could be another good one.

Yep, great hire. They crap canned the last guy who was unproven but coached the team to the best record they have ever had because they supposedly had to win now. So they replaced him with another totally unproven guy and gave him twice the salary as Mark Jackson. I can't stand Mark Jackson but what the GS owner did in essentially giving his buddy a good job and huge payday is borderline criminal.

Are you guys complaining about these slap/out off bounds replay calls because:

Rule 8 Section II - c of the NBA rulebook states:

    If a player has his hand in contact with the ball and an opponent hits the hand causing the ball to go out-of-bounds, the team whose player had his hand on the ball will retain possession.


The rule isn't new either, the only confusion is why, at the end of game 5, the officials crew didn't cite this as the reason for upholding the call instead of saying the replays were inconclusive.

I'm more upset that they keep missing the foul calls than anything. LeBron fouled Pierce the other night when BKN was down 2 and in the penalty with only a few seconds left. The Heat were pissed about not getting the ball, but they actually had just been bailed out by a horrific no call...

Great hire.  The only better hire would have been Hubie Brown.
