nah, that hit the rim

I guarantee you 100% that it hit the rim.

It changed trajectory, then hit the glass. That wasn't an air-ball.

Not the way I saw it. The rotation on the ball never changed. If it hits the rim... the rotation changes. Regardless, one call doesn't cost you a game. Champions don't let themselves be in a postion where one call or play can bury you.

Don't worry. I'll stop by CelticsBlog after the Lakers win game 6.

It would be nice if the game could be called in such a way that the refs did not seem to affect the outcome of the game. Every game the losing team has some ligitmate gripes. Do we need less rules? How about ending the star player call? Maybe it is time to the call the game the same for every player and every team on every play. If the officials can not make a certain call consistantly then change the rules regarding that call.

Simple solution which is bring back 90's rules. Bring back the hand checking, get rid of the defensive 3 second violation, stop calling ticky tack crap if there is no blood no foul. If you do those 3 things it will pretty much cut down having controversial games. The only downside is scoring will drop down drastically which could lead to low ratings but for me I would still watch because I enjoy a defensive struggle.

Holy you're dumb. And the league gifted Jordan plenty of ticky tack fouls during the 90s. More so than any other NBA superstar, ever. Although Lebron is gaining on him at this rate.
