I watched the replay and it was 103% ovbious that Bibby touched the net before the ball went in. Can't the Spurs appeal the call because don't the refs have to look at the replay if its a buzzer beater. If they would have looked at it, there's no doubt they would have called off the basket. I'm seriously dissapointed by Salvatore.....
You actually thought he was a decent ref?Quote:

The dude is notorious for being horrible.
or as my dad calls him Salv a torrie :lol
The Spurs should not have let it get to that point though. The Kings played their asses off and got the win and deserve the props for that. Now lets go get Game 4.
GET OVER IT.Quote:

Thats not offensive goaltending. Why do Spurs fans feel a need to reach for such BS when its obvious that the Spurs just didn't deserve to win last night?
Touching the net when the ball is on the cylindar is offensive goltending.
Wow... :lol
Some fans just look for excuses. The good ones don't.Quote:

Ehh I don't think he's making an excuse Mikey, I think he was just pointing it out and making another of the What If statements that have flooded us since the loss. No worries though Game 4 will be here soon enough.
Manny was the one implying the excuses being made. I was just saying that not all of us do.
I also didn't mean you personally GoSpurs.
My bad Mikey :)
No, Tpark, its not.
Its all good Mandy. :) I think we were all disappointed by the result. Its the playoffs so heartbreaks are part of it.

Its not a violation to touch the net. If you pull on the net to where the rim moves, THEN it is a violation. But touching the net isn't illegal.
The Spurs didn't deserve to win? Is that why the final score was so close? It could have been anyone's game.
Look, I'm not giving an excuse for the shit play, nor am I stating all the obvious errors that the refs had. All I'm really interested to know how much money the Maloof Brothers paid the refs, because although ALL THREE refs were supposed to look at the shot and no one saw (or no one chose to see) the goaltend, they had (by NBA rules) to watch the replay. Fucking assholes they still didnt call it!!.
Did the Spurs deserve to win? NO
Should they have won? Yes
Dude, this is pathetic. Bibby touched the net? Would it have mattered? The Spurs made a huge mental mistake at the end of the game, and the Kings played a great possession. The Kings deserved to win, the Spurs deserved to lose.
Bring on game 4.
Game 2: Duncan's screen was illegal, blah, blah, blah
Game 3: Bibby touched net, it was interference, blah, blah, blah
Either or both of these statements might be true, but fans need to get over the calls and non-calls. Somethings are subjective, somethings are just missed. That's just basketball.
Once again, touching the net is not goaltending.
Agreed, Kori. They weren't going to call either of those situations. I just think Kings fans are funny for failing to aknowledge that what Bibby did (touching the net with the ball on the rim) is a violation, after SCREAMING at the tops of their lungs about a moving screen.
With the ball on the rim? You bet your ASS it is.Quote:

No, merely touching the net is never interfernece. If you pull the net and it moves the rim, then it becomes interference, but nowhere in the NBA's rulebook does it even mention the net. The only thing mentioned is the rim and the backboard.
Incidental contact on the net while the shot is up is not interference. I leave open the possibility that I missed the rule, but someones going to have to link me to it and show me where it says that touching the net is a violation.
No Kings fan on this board were screaming about the moving screen. I simply brought it up to counter this so called goaltending. Both would have been ticky tack if called, and I'm glad they weren't called.Quote:

I agree with that. I also think that if you look at the replay, there is almost 100% certainty that the way Bibby touched the net was no where near enough to effect the rim which is why I hate to see so many fans reaching for something so weak.Quote:

I saw bibby breathing near the rim!!! THat must be offensive goaltending!
Get over it, Manu and Pop fucked up the last play, the only decent player of the night was duncan
If they called THAT, it would officially be the lamest call of all time.
I think everyone agrees (except maybe the thread starter).Quote:

Well, the pick actually had an effect on the game. Still not something you should complain about considering there is no possible way to change the result, but it's a different situation.Quote:

Whether he touched the net or tried to completely pull it down ... doesnt matter. Spurs played like crap (except for TD) and blew the game in the last 10 seconds. The Kings outplayed the Spurs and deserved the game.
Now, let it go and let the Spurs beat the crap out of them in Game 4.
Horse shit. Even if Duncan moved Bibby wouldn't have gotten close to Barry to effect the shot. Mavs and Pistons fans seem desperate making up fantasy reasons why the Spurs shouldn't advance.Quote:

The disparity in regulation in game 2 (+8 ___ramento) was almost as large, evening out in OT. Copngratulations, ___ramento: if you get a double digit or near double digit disparity at the FT line, you can hang. Good job.Quote:

Tim Duncan operates in the paint. Manu Ginobili operates in the paint. Fucking Bibby is the jumpshooting queen of all time and he has more FTA than Duncan does in the series. That's fucked up.
Duncan hasn't been operating like he normally does. Ginobli is a flopper. Stop bitching. You are up 2-1 in the series.Quote:

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE in this forum said "get over it". Actually, if I remember correctly, Pop even pentitioned the call for some BS reason. Granted, the series was tied 2-2 and the teams were much more even than SA and SAC today, but still, no coach, or fan for that matter should ever back down from such an obvious error. Will Fucking Stern do something about this? NO. But at least the refs will publicly be humiliated. By the way, if you touch the net its goaltending, anyone can argue that it altered the shot, and yes, its in the rulebook, I checked.
Believe me, if Sacto wins the series (odds of about 1 to 1 million), all of you "get over it" people are gonna be crying your fucking pussies off about that noncall.
Here's the entire entry on goaltending. If you can find the word "NET" in there, let alone anything that applies you win the dick-flavored cookie.Quote:

Whatever. It still took a lucky ass bounce, and a lucky ass shot over Tim "6 Blocks" Duncan.
This series was over when Duncan decided the Spurs were his team again.
Actually you piece of dickshit, you happened to accidentally miss one...... How sad.. See rule No. i
RULE NO. 11
BASKET INTERFERENCE—
GOALTENDING
Section I—A Player Shall Not:
a. Touch the ball or the basket ring
when the ball is using the basket ring as
its lower base or hang on the rim while
the ball is passing through.
EXCEPTION: If a player near his own
basket has his hand legally in contact
with the ball, it is not a violation if his
contact with the ball continues after the
ball enters the cylinder, or if, in such
action, he touches the basket.
b. Touch the ball when it is above the
basket ring and within the imaginary
cylinder.
c. During a field goal attempt, touch a
ball after it has touched any part of the
backboard above ring level, whether the
ball is considered on its upward or
downward flight.
d. During a field goal attempt, touch a
ball after it has touched the backboard
below the ring level and while the ball is
on its upward flight.
e. Trap the ball against the face of the
backboard after it has been released.
(To be a trapped ball, three elements
must exist simultaneously.The hand, the
ball and the backboard must all occur at
the same time.A batted ball against the
backboard is not a trapped ball.)
f. Touch any live ball from within the
playing area that is on its downward
flight with an opportunity to score.This
is considered to be a “field goal
attempt” or trying for a goal.
g. Touch the ball at any time with a
hand which is through the basket ring.
h.Vibrate the rim, net or backboard so
as to cause the ball to make an
unnatural bounce.
i. Touch the rim, net or ball while the
ball is in the net preventing it from
clearing the basket.
PENALTY: If the violation is at the
opponent’s basket, the offended team is
awarded two points, if the attempt is
from the two point zone and three
points if it is from the three point zone.
The crediting of the score and subsequent
procedure is the same as if the
awarded score has resulted from the
ball having gone through the basket,
except that the official shall hand the
ball to a player of the team entitled to
the throw-in. If the violation is at a
team’s own basket, no points can be
scored and the ball is awarded to the
offended team at the free throw line
105
extended on either sideline. If there is a
violation by both teams, play shall be
resumed by a jump ball between any
two opponents at the center circle.
toward the hoop for the official to
discontinue his three second count. If he
attempts to back the defensive player
down, attempting to secure a better
position in relation to the basket,
119
offensive three seconds or an offensive
foul must be called. If he passes off and
immediately makes a move out of the
lane, there should be no whistle.
Neither # of fouls nor # of FT's tells the story as far as the officials favoring either team (or appearing to favor either team). But # of FT's is MUCH more relevant than # of FT's. There's too many variables involved in getting from # of fouls to # of FT's...Quote:

Example (exaggerated)
Team A commits 16 fouls, all non-shooting fouls, 4 per quarter. Team B gets ZERO FT's.
Team B commits 10 fouls, all shooting fouls. Team A gets 20 FT's.
Looking at the box score YOU would think that Team B got jobbed by the officials, right??
Game 4:
Kings - called for 25 PF's
Spurs - called for 21 PF's
Both got 27 FT's, but the Spurs made 3 less.
Surely Spurs fans won't whine about officiating in this game too???
Good luck against ___ramento in Game 5!!
Sincerely,
"dumbass"
