NBA: LMAO REFS screwed up 2nd playoff game in a row

[DPG21920]

Didn't Pierce juggle the ball quite a bit, though, before it went out?

I don't think so. If he did, disregard what I am saying. I think he flailed for it, but never touched it again.

No, he hit his wrist/hand.

so it was a foul. It was not a legit "hand is part of the ball" play which means option A is invalidaded. Thus the ball should have been Heat ball. Makeup play.

It probably should have been a foul, but it doesn't change the fact he hit the offensive players wrist/hand, which is what directly caused the ball to go out of bounds without any other touch by either player.

now you are just confusing yourself. you just conceited he hit his arm, now you are talking about wrist/hand like they are the same thing.

let me break it to you wrist is not a hand. Lebron hit nowhere near Pierce's hand.

watch the play again. I'm sure you are smart enough to reconsider your opinion

[DPG21920]

When I saw it, it looks like he hit part wrist, part hand. That's why I said it "probably" should be a foul. The fact they didn't call the foul means they think he hit more hand hence the correct call.

watch it again. it was NOWHERE near his hand, or wrist.

someone please post the vid to put this discussion to rest

Just saw the replay, and I think you're right. James hit both the hand and wrist (tough call), and the ball did go over to Pierce's left hand before going out, but it was James that made that happen.

thanks. so if the ball went off Pierce's other hand. definitely the rule does not apply. MAKEUP CALL

[hater]

just watched it again folks.

I was correct.

Lebron hits his arm nowhere near wrist/hand area.

also as Jeremy states the ball does go off Paul's left hand. Thus in either case, a makeup call.

[baseline bum]

Nyets choked even worse than we did

LOL, no way. You're shining shoes with 5 just like us and 6.

No, you're shinin' shoes all alone with 6, there isn't another choke in NBA history that can top that....

Though it'll be a worse choke when Sterling is still owning the team next season

Spurfan praying for the inevitable not to occur

Nets should've won game 4 as well. Refs are Lebron's and Durant's es tbh.

[Infinite_limit]

I don't think anything can be done because by nature basketball is reliant on referees. But that's American sports in general in contrast to Soccer which credits & blames "Luck". American sports and culture does not like the word "Luck". Another interesting aspect is soccer officiating openly uses makeup calls. The team losing on the scoreboard is more likely to receive borderline calls and it's accepted. In essence Americans want robots for refs/umpires.

Ultimately how did you feel about the Thunder/Barnes play?
A) I respected the refs evening it out and not screwing the Thunder twice although making the wrong call on the review
b) Refs should always make the correct call in that precise moment even if it's incorrect in the whole sequence

[Sean Cagney]

Seems like Pierce and KG lose to Lebron every year...

Yes, but that one year he quit. The year before he went to Miami when he just quit and had it.

[Sean Cagney]

No, you're shinin' shoes all alone with 6, there isn't another choke in NBA history that can top that....

Yeah sure, but that team has 4 les and 5 finals appearances and is in the WCF's again this year!! NOT BAD FOR CHOKERS SIR..... NOT BAD! Your team can't even get near the finals to ing choke can they?

Your franchise player is a ing bum who can't pass round two to save his ing life.

[Venti Quattro]

Yes, but that one year he quit. The year before he went to Miami when he just quit and had it.

He also lost in 2008 when the Wheelchair won the le for Boston.

I forgot about Pierce Wheelchair! He looked nearly dead out there screaming! Then came back lol!
