The Suns are in the middle of..

[HarlemHeat37]

one of the biggest choke jobs in recent NBA history..

Let's see if they can cap it off..

They were up by about 11 points with approx. 1:40 remaining..

[HarlemHeat37]

Looks like the Hornets just got screwed..

[ElNono]

Back 2 back loses for Capt West? What's going on here? Bellineli is not an All Star?

[JMarkJohns]

If Hill got part of the ball and his follow through hits the backboard, is that still technically goal-tending? He definitely hit the backboard, but one angle makes it appear he hit the ball too. If so, I think good no call. If not, the layup should have counted.

Unreal. These refs tried to give Paul 10 freebies tonight and he still can't hack it. I want to see what BR thinks about this disgusting trend of Paul getting 10 FTs a game.

Marcus Thornton, this is why you don't play son.

[HarlemHeat37]

I missed the replay on Thornton's shot, but it looked like a goaltend in real time..anybody see it?..

Yeah. It looked like Hill blocked the ball and then hit his hand against the backboard. I saw slow-motion replay.

[Pelicans78]

thought it was goaltending, not sure.

[Cessation]

The Polish Hammer coming strong on Peasant Paul.

[DPG21920]

10 Freebies for Paul. Now I have seen it all. I thought 8 Freebies in the last loss was bad. It's getting worse. What a shame it is to have the NBA owning a team.

[redzero]

Wow, I don't know what was worse: an obvious goaltending not called or Chris Paul not calling a timeout WHEN HE HAD ONE TO GIVE and instead choosing to jack up a 3-pointer.

Forget it, Deep. Luva already claimed that.

You're a rat & a copycat.

[Lakers2009champs]

That was goaltending

[Pelicans78]

nets defense awful the last two games. Deserved to lose both.

Last three games.

[DPG21920]

Ariza's numbers look better though. That will bode well going forward.

[Pelicans78]

It wasn't that bad till the 4th quarter where the bench tried to blow a 25 point lead. But it wasn't good either.

honestly he hit some flukish shots.

[HarlemHeat37]

I like Ariza, but damn, he tried to make some of the stupidest passes in this game..

[JMarkJohns]

So is it confirmed that Hill missed the ball? Or even if he hit it then the backboard that it's goaltending? Am I the only one who saw the angle where it appeared the ball was deflected slightly on the way up?

If the ball is blocked/deflected legally, then similar to the NFL tipped pass rule, I don't think goal-tending should be the call if something else occurs.

If no block, then, yes, it was goaltending.

I think it was goaltending. The ball hit the backboard then Hill hit it.

[Mel_13]

Indisputable video evidence of goaltending:

[Giuseppe]

Mel, with the goods.

I gotta go over to Sose's Joint to see this rationalized.

tee, hee.

[Giuseppe]

Give 'em credit over there, they owned up to it.

[fevertrees]

Paul is a STARTING ALL STAR...he deserves at least 10 freebies a game!
