Refs blew this game...Rasheed should have been T'd

There was .3 left up on the clock...I kept lookin it over and i'm watching the game again on ESPN i'll see it again. I'm pretty sure there was .3 left when he called the timeout.

I couldnt believe sheed left horry open like that, he knows way better and yes sheed has seen that before. Time and time again horry did that to him when he played on portland, you'd think he would learn.

Timmy pushed Mcdyess on that play and I think they called a foul on him since they gave the Pistons the ball out of bounds along the sideline. Naturally the announcers didn't say anything about it.

Larry probably isn't gonna enjoy see Danny Crawford for Game 6 either.

On a side note, since David retired we may be undefeated with Javie reffing. I sure used to hate seeing him before that though.

Why call an offensive foul. You would have put whoever was guarding Rip(I think Parker) on the line with 2.5 seconds left. We would get the ball back. Good non call, that in essence, helped the Spurs.

It's an obvious offensive foul, but NO WAY the refs will call it. The refs will not get out of there alive if they did.

So, according to some people in this thread, there was clearly .1 left, and there was clearly .3 left, and then there were clearly a few hundredths of a second left.

Which leads me to believe that there was nothing clear about it.

Clearly the refs were not paying too much attention to the situation.
Clearly the refs blew enough calls on both ends of the floor to fill a phone book.
Clearly the Spurs won so I'm not going to be too upset if after Jim Garrison and his people break down the replay like the Zapruda film it turns out there should have been a T. Frankly I think that it's better for the Spurs this way. Winning the way the did is a huge emotional blow that I think the Pistons are going to have a hard time bouncing back from. Blazers couldn't do after the MDM, Spurs couldn't do it after .4. If the Pistons lost because of the tech they would have had something to get fired up over going into game six and it only would have fueled a bunch of angry Pistons fans on this board shouting conspiracy theories.

The lack of no call didn't bother me near as much as the clear elbow by Hamilton on the last shot (mentality: Yeah it's illegal, but you can't decide the game on a foul --- what??!!)
