What the ? I guess it doesn't matter anymore now, but it was 0.1 seconds left - he called a time out - he should have been T'd up.
If we can lose with 0.4, they can be T'd up with 0.1 left.
That is a ing technical calling a time out when you hane none left.

Who cares now!!!!
Oh but Rip did get away with an O Foul at the end, but it dont matter he missed!!!!!
3-2 BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a rule you only get to complain about the reffing if you win. The refs ed us on this game twice.
On the replay they showed Rasheed did call the Timeout but the clock already read 0:00 and the red light was on.
Refs didnt play, but that last play of RIP over TP should be called and offensive foul
We'll get a screenshot of that moment evetually but I am absolutely positive the clock still had numbers on it when Sheed's fingers touched.
correct
From what I saw of the replay, I was watching Sheed's hands. The moment he put his hands into a T I looked at the time and watched a couple more hundreths of a second tick off. They missed the call plain and simple, and it wouldn't be the way I want to win the championship. But hey .4 seconds is a long time to a Spurs fan.
It was a good no call.
would you say that if we had ended up losing?
Agreed.
Trivia question: name the last NBA Finals game where somebody tried to call a time out they didn't have and the refs ignored it.
The only thing that matters is this
Sheed got lucky. But no way did the refs want to let themselves decide the game but calling a tech on him. They'd never make it out of Detroit alive.
Sheed: "Where have I seen this before?"
Not sure what year, but it was probably late 70s, Paul Westphal for the Phoenix Suns ... I think it might have been against the Celtics and the Suns were down 1 point.
He intentionally called the time-out so the other team would shoot a technical foul, and back then, the rules didn't turn the ball over, so Westphal called it knowing the Suns would only be down 2 points, and they could advance the ball to halfcourt. I think that may have been the prelude to Gar Heard's shot heard round the world ... but I'm not 100% sure.
If it was the Spurs, there would've been a tech called.
Guaransheed.
Refs make mistakes, deal with it...
Spurs won, thats all that matters right now
Actually, I watched it again just now. Even though I was screaming for a T at the time, now that I am able to watch it several times in slow-mo, there was no time left. No tech. Good no call.
You got the game right, but that's not the play I'm thinking of (even though you described that situation accurately). Heard's shot forced the triple OT.
Early in the game, though, Paul Silas tried to call a time out at the end of the first OT, but the Celtics had none left. He did it right in front of Richie Powers, who should have whistled a T and given the Suns a FT to win it, but instead he ignored him. Celtic haters around the country like me went ballistic.
Nope, it was a good non call. I thought the clock ran out anyways before Rasheed called the timeout.
Thanks to Larry's comments eariler on, they are not 0-5 (i think) with Garretson reffing. While they still didn't win, Garretson sure did his best to keep them in (*cough* Dice's tip out of bounds that *somehow* hit Duncan somewhere as it went out*cough*)
It was a T
There was clearly .1 on the clock.
Even Al and Hubie mentioned it.
Plus it was clearly an offensive foul on Rip at the end.
Oh well, it. Still up 3-2
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.
