Last 52 seconds of Heat-Hawks will be replayed !!!! Really!

[Tippecanoe]

I disagree with that. They had to do it. What if this had happen to a team in a Game 7?

sucks to be them

[Armando]

Cool, I'll be at that game.

You live in the ATL? I love that city! Philips arena is awesome.

You would be feeling different if it was the Celtics in a playoff game.

Dallas lost that game by four points. I'm not sure how an incorrectly ruled three pointer makes a difference in the game, other than the fact that the team had to listen to Mark Cuban whining about it during every timeout. Since there's no rule that he has to do that it doesn't seem similar in any way at all.

It's an official scoring error, just like Heat-Hawks. The last possession with 10 seconds left we were down three points instead of two. That affects end-game strategy. I would be inclined to let it pass and move on, but apparently the NBA has suddenly decreed games with official scoring errors can be redone.

How much time was left in the game when that mistake was made? I thought the Mavs had enough time to make up the 1 point difference. Is not the same to lose 1 point then it is to lose a player due to a nonexistent foul.

You David Stern!!!

[Budkin]

They have to fly all the way out there for that?? Ugh.

They're gonna replay the 52 seconds before the next scheduled game between the two.

This will be hilarious if Shaq ends up fouling out on the first inbound play.

I can see two reason why Heat are allowed to replay the game and not Mavs :

First, it's the second time Hawks make that kind of mistake. Last year, Hawks scorer table forget to count a basket in a game against Toronto. Hawks deserve more to be sanctioned than Pacers.

Second, replaying the game is way easier in the Heat case. Only 52 seconds must be replayed while almost 3 quarters would have been replayed in the Mavs case. You can't replay 3 quarters before a game while you can replay 52 seconds. And even if the mistake in the Mavs game was a late fourth mistake, Mavs didn't play another game at Indiana this year.


In theory, Mavs deserve as much as Heat to replay their game but in practical, it's not a shame that they didn't replay it.

This is a bad thing to do IMO.

So going forward if there is a error, they will have to replay the game. Once you open this door you cannot close it.

I agree, great city.

the first team to win 2 games in one day? or lose 2 games...

-Mars

Certainly not the first. The Spurs beat the Lakers twice on the same day in 1983.
