Doesnt seem to be bothering the Magic at all. They are doing well.

it wasnt even close. the time on the clock was .5 sec. after he shot.. that includes his shot getting off .1 late + time of ball in the air. way off.

It was definitely close. But I don't like the fact that the refs "gave them the benefit of the doubt".

Come on now. Redo the play, or just don't count it. You can't reward them like that when the home team's timekeepers messed up.

They didn't see the replays we did, probably don't even realize the mistake. And I wouldn't tell them if I was a coach, just a distraction.

I think it's inevitable that this game is going to be a close game decided less than 3. The basketball gods love drama.

what difference does the 0.5 make?
talking about whether the shot woulda counted. 5.1 left, shot got off after 5.2, that's one tenth. It was close.


I'm just saying though - they clearly should have redone the play.

The NBA will not rest until the Laker, Celtics, Pistons, and Spurs are in the conference finals. And they will do what it takes, no matter how unfair everyone else thinks it is.

If I were a Magic fan, I'd be breaking chairs and stuff. You can't mess up a call like that.

It makes the difference between a shot that should count and a 3 point gift.

Billups fouls himself and the refs give him the call everytime.

The Pistons get these gifts every game, comes with the territory it seems.

Yeah but he's actually getting fouled.


Sheed's 5th foul was BS, he poked the ball out of Dwight's hands.
