Hamilton was actually up on his toes.
I contend it is impossible for anybody to be set on his toes.
Rip was still moving and had started flopping before contact was made.
Correct call was made.
thats it.
now can we all STFU???

Just look at this angle. It's all you have to see. Rip was never set -- he was on his toes, that doesn't count for being set.
Easy call. Not even close, really.
how about the no call on Hamilton slapping Bowen in face = should be a damm one game suspension!!!!!!
Yeah, good clip. Like i said i only saw the one replay. First thing i usually do is look at the line, it zoomed up and i looked up after it did.
Block.
But still, on live tv and even one quick replay i need to see more during a huge play like that.
, even if it was a nocall or a charge, you better show that dunk three or four times it was so nasty.
First of all, I want to congradulate your team on a well played game. Horry made some killer shots and Detroit couldn't, and I know that many calls went the pistons way. However...
I think that the play where Horry drove to the hoop for the slam decided the game. He charged to the hoop straight through Rip Hamilton and threw it down. Instead of being called the charge that it really was, it was called a blocking foul on Rip. The Pistons were up four at the time and would have gotten the ball back with a chance to build on the lead and Horry would have fouled out. You guys know as well as I do that without Horry Detroit would have won. Instead of this happening, the lead was cut down to 2 and Horry was left in the game.
Once again, I know that the Pistons got some calls in their favor down the stretch, but none of them had near this big of an impact on the game. I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth after this game because I think the outcome may have been different if the correct call was made.
I GUESS YOU & I WATCHED DIFFERENT GAMES ON SUNDAY NIGHT...THE SPURS SHOULD BE THE ONE COMPLAINING OF BAD CALLS & NOT YOUR PISTONS...BESIDES, IF YOUR PISTONS WON THAT GAME YOU WON'T BE WHINING NOW...OR WOULD YOU?
Even without the back and to the left, no way was Rip's feet were set for long enough for that to be a charge.
Sorry.
Oh, and I don't think you're an arsehole, sorry for the abuse above.
It was the easiest freakin' call for Mr. Brillo hair all night long, wasn't even close for a number of reasons. The two blocks called on horry were way more questionable than this one.
If Hamilton wouldn't have pussied out, and really stayed in front of HORRY, and actually TRIED to take a charge...Horry would not have been able to dunk it. Hamilton slid out of his way and flopped, didn't even get enough contact with Horry to stop his long flight approach.
Rip needs to get some balls, and learn how to stay in front those big, bad basketball players.
I hear Rob's got a surplus.
From what I saw, he never hit him. He kinda did the made you flinch thing...
Sorry pal, but after watching it frame by frame on Tivo, not only was Hamilton moving...he was actually off the floor when the contact was made. Come in here with better than this boy.First of all, I want to congradulate your team on a well played game.

I must have watched a different game because oddly enough some of the worst calls I saw in this game were blocking fouls on Horry, obvious charges that went in the Pistons favor down the stretch.
Hamilton moving his feet isn't even an issue, since he's not even between Horry and the basket, he's to the side of the play. You will never see a charge called when the defensive player can't even make it in front of the offensive player and winds up clipping his side.
I agree, this was a no-brainer, very easy call to make. There is no possible way this was a charge.
speaking of offensive.....
i call that Pistons introduction video before the game when Ben banged the Spurs logo offensive and...
hilarious
..esp after the Spurs won game 5 in Detroit.
He never did Hit him he tried the "Im a pussy so I'll try to make you flinch instead of going through with it" thing.
Bowen just smiled at him.
OMFG!!! The Pistons didn't get that one foul call? WAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
P.S.: The call was correct...it was a blocking foul on Rip. Enjoy last year's belts you sore losers!
get real...rip was turning his body away from the contact. what a ing joke.
If Rip had just stood there he might have taken a charge, but he flopped so they didn't call it.
Come on, this is an easy call to make, clearly a defensive foul. Inside the circle, feet not properly planted, and moving to the left.
, it was a flop really.
Actually, the charge called against Parker in the 1st quarter fell into this category. I was really pissed about that call at the time.
But normally you are correct.
How very mean of you to call him an opinion!
holy mofo ing crap.
we are STILL talkign about this???
post after post all proving the same the thing.
how many different ways can we state that the call was correct?
Is this an excersie in use of the english language??
new topic people. move it along, nothign to see here, go about your buisness.
How many blocking calls did Horry get in the game before that? They wouldn't dare call that on him after getting the short end 4-5 times during the game. They're not going to give you that call that close to the basket. You're in the pros---block the shot. Have the guts to clobber the guy.
Rip clearly wasn't set. It was a good call.
I didn't get a chance to post yesterday, so let me just say congrats Spurs on huge win. They played tough and pulled out a win when they easily could have folded and been happy with their effort in losing a close game. But they sucked it up and played like a team that's been there before. Great win and a tough, tough loss for the Pistons. A great game all around.
And Rasheed's boneheaded play is already being called the biggest blunder/ up in Detroit sports history. It's amazing how one little screw up can change a series so drastically. Then again, you guys had to live through 0.4, so you know what that's like.
Horry got ran over on a lot closer call earlier in the game, and did not get the charge. It is even steven, IMO.
