Anyone else watching Sportscenter? They just showed the freeze frame where it showed that LMA had the last shot off in time!!!! To think that that is what cost us the game. It's very frustrating!!!!

What? Really?
 
When its at the end of a game like that, aren't the refs supposed to go review it themselves? If they didn't, fuck the refs.
 
No F'in Way! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I hate crappy refs.
 
I rewinded it on my TIVO and didn't see the lights on the backboard go off at all when Aldridge shot the ball and made it. Fucking whores for refs.
 
When they showed the replay a second time it showed the shot clock from above and it looked like the ball was still in LMA's hand when it hit 0. At least during the game. I did not watch ESPN.

Well, the redlights don't go on for the shotclock expiration- it only goes red at the end of the quarters.

I watched the local news (forgot which channel) and they said that you could see on one replay that the shotclock behind the hoop shows zero while LaMarcus still had the ball in his hands. So I don't know what to think now.
 
Does anyone have a screenshot of the SC pic?
 
I will have to watch the ESPN version because the replays they showed during the game was pretty inconclusive.
 
Really doesn't matter when you factor in the fact he was being pulled down, shoulda been 2 ft's at least
 
If the shot was good, can we replay the game or petition?

Well we could petition but I doubt we will because it wouldn't do much. Replaying the last 5 seconds is also unlikely the only time I can recall a game being replayed was the Atlanta/Miami game last year. And that was because the Atlanta score-keepers physically removed a player from the game by giving Shaq an extra foul that fouled him out.
 
Well hell then, I blame this loss on LMA for not being quicker with his hands!!! Burn him at the stake!
 
I'd still petition the game, if for no other reason than to petition a game. :D

Let's petition to make petitions to replay games actually mean something! Who wants to sign?

I'd rather sign a petition that says banked 3 pointers don't count. Or a petition that sends Turkey Glue back to Turkey.
 
Refs suck.
Our coach sucks.
Players that commit turnovers suck.
Players that shoot less than 100% from the field suck.
Players who miss FT's suck.
LMA's slow reaction time sucks.
Travis Outlaw sucks.

There, I've just summarized pretty much all of the threads posted on this forum since about 10pm tonight.

Edit: I forgot this one - Brandon Roy sucks because he shoots too much at the end of games.
 
Well, when I was watching the game I thought that the shot shouldn't have counted, and I agree that it appeared that LMA didn't get it off before it showed 0 on the shot clock. But I think we're dealing with tenths of a second. Does anyone know if the shot clot expires when the number turns to zero, or does it turn to zero and then have a bit of time left.

In any case, I'm just saying what they showed on SportsCenter. Sucks.
 
Nah.. the shot didn't count. But he was fouled by Dwight on the play big time for basically stripping his jersey off.
 
I thought the shot was good. In any case, shouldn't the refs review that play at that time? That's the new rule, correct? And yes, LaMarcus was clearly fouled.

I thought a TV replay clearly showed the shot clock at 0 with the ball in LaMarcus' hand, even MB acknowledged it was the right call and if he thinks it is, then you know it probably is..
But in that case, it still should've been reviewed since there was also a timeout called after that.

NBA instant replay rules

2006-2007: Section II-Reviewable Matters
a. If an instant replay review is triggered as described in Section I-a (1) and (2) above,
the officials would review the tape to determine only the following issues:
(1) Whether time on the game clock expired before the ball left the shooter's hand.
(2) If the shot was timely, whether the successful field goal was scored correctly as
a two-point or three-point field goal.
(3) If the shot was timely, whether the shooter committed a boundary line violation.
For purposes of this review, the official would look only at the position of the
shooter's feet at the moment they last touched the floor immediately prior to (or,
if applicable, during) the release of the shot.
(4) Whether the 24-second clock expired before the ball left the shooter's hand.
(5) Whether an 8-second backcourt violation occurred before the ball left the shooter's
hand.

Aldridge was fouled at the very least. Thanks to the asshole time keepers for not starting that clock on that jump ball which lead to Rashard Lewis hitting a lucky 3. I expect to be fleeced away from home but not in Portland. Dwight gets away with the most shit ever, besides Wade.
 
Roy's shit didnt hit the rim and LA still had the ball when the shot clock hit 0.
 
The shot was not good. He was fouled, but after the shot clock went off.


Like other have said, this one is not on the refs.
 
Don't the refs go by the light and not the actual shot clock? If so the shot should have counted. Espn showed the replay and he clearly left his hand before time expired. Not that it really matters, not going to change anything. Hopefully we learn something from it. Disappointed that Nate doesn't go to Rudy more often in those situations instead of Travis. If Roy is doubled Rudy should be your 2nd option.
 
I rewinded it on my TIVO and didn't see the lights on the backboard go off at all when Aldridge shot the ball and made it. Fucking whores for refs.

Backboard lights don't go off on a shot clock violation, only at the end of the quarter. And the ball was still in his hands for about a half second when the clock hit 0.
