NJHAWK Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I dont care if they protest, lol. You cannot catch the ball bring it in to your chest then try to lay it in the basket all in .5 seconds. Just watch it and any one with half a brain knows he had the ball longer than a half of a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I have not been able to watch the shot in dispute, but it appears as though the right call was made. I wouldn't be too surprised if Toronto challenge.

Unless one of our players tipped the ball, the clock definitely started too soon. It started at .5, and was at .4 when he first touched the ball. That said, from what people are saying about how the refs control the clock in that situation, I don't think it will be overturned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, they did not show the sequences before the actual layup (like the inbound pass and when the shot clock started). As the guy above me stated, it may not be overturned because of the way the refs control the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swolehawk2 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Guys, if you go back and take a look, it looks like Al slightly tipped the ball. The ball looks to change paths just a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefloydian Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Cool. I wish I could find it somewhere. I wasn't looking at the play when it started so I never even saw the throw, just the dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDT88 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Got a replay here " http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=280402001 ", but nothing up close. From the looks of the clock on the graphic at the top, it looks legit. Not sure about the actual clock above the backboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefloydian Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Unless I was just hallucinating when they were showing the replay on sportsouth, the clock on the backboard was at .4 when he first touched the ball. Either way, as long as we win I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khaos7 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Y'all already know the outcome: The Raptors will protest. Stern will side with them. We'll either have to replay or Toronto will get the W. That's how it is in Hawksville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, I fit half the description probably, but I'm only 24. I bet if you asked 10 random people, there might be 1 who knew who was in that pic, though.

thefloydian Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd usually agree, but I'm not even sure they can protest that since the refs reviewed the video and still called it the way they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackB1 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Quote: I'd usually agree, but I'm not even sure they can protest that since the refs reviewed the video and still called it the way they did. When the refs reviewed the play, they were only looking to see if the ball was released BEFORE the clock went to 0.00. But the clock did go from .05 to .04 BEFORE Ford even touched the ball. But you should get that "extra" fraction of a second at home anyway. And then we kicked butt in the OT anyway, so Raps go noone to blame but themselves. I would be shocked if the NBA overrules and gives Toronto the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefloydian Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 So you're saying they weren't allowed to notice that the clock started early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
