I don't understand this post.

I posted A, B and C...you chose not to answer or 'D'...so what I was trying to say is that there is no 'D' just like the Orlando Magic....bad attempt at a joke....

WAYNE THEY SHOWED FOUR DIFFRENT ANGLES LAST NIGHT - WHAT U SEE ON THE YOUTUBE VID ISNT CONCLUSIVE - OTHER ANGLES SHOWED IT CLEARLY HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE NET

[vols fan]

Playing on many courts here in Atlanta,alot of the courts here have chain nets.When airballs hit the chains,they can still go out of bounds.That ball goes straight down on a nylon net???????????? I ain't buying it.A nylon net ain't that strong.BALL HIT THE RIM NO DOUBT!!!!!!!

I can be assured that you do not "for sure" know what the physics of that shot are. I also know that for the ball to land where it did is not "impossible". It's very possible.

Also note, BIG BABY TOUCHED THE BALL.

Please mavs, you need to watch the replay again. I can assure you east & west is not north and south. I can also assure you that BIG BABY CLEARLY TOUCHED THE BALL AFTER IT BOUNCED IN THE PAINT. Don't argue that when there is a video clearly showing that. It's senseless.

Very Tough for me to tell ....

That ball when straight down?

Sorry Vols, this is not a shot at you in any way. Because I really hate being involved in such a small argument, but......

You guys do know that there is space between the bottom of the rim and the out of bounds line.

And you guys do know that..... BIG BABY STOPPED THE BALL.

Exactly, it was by no means "Clear". Did you not see that ball drop almost straight down on the overhead shot Joe?

The camera is directly above the rim shooting straight down mavs and the ball NEVER LEFT THE PICTURE.

Big Baby ALSO touched it AFTER IT BOUNCED!

For anybody who has a feel for a basketball shot,as the shot is going towards the net,follow it's flight and point on the screen where you think it would land if it din't hit the net or rim.If you do it honest,theres no way the net knocks that ball that far back from where your finger is.

This thread is still going on????

THAT VID IS GARBAGE SPARK

OTHER ANGELS SHOWED THE BALL HITTING THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE NET

IT MOVED THE NET !!!!!!!!!!!! IT PUSHED IT BACK


IF THE BALL HIT THE RIM ITS NOT GOING TO GO DOWN AND IN AN INWARD ANGLE INTO THE NET !!!!!!

THE NET MOVED ( FLUTTERED ) BACK JUST LIKE IT DOES WHEN SOMEONE SHOOTS AN AIRBALL AND HITS THE NET

1st--Greek, good luck with the bar, I worked 15 years in the business, and know that as I get closer to 40 I no longer want to deal with the hassles day 2 day. As for the play, I see it as VERY close, from the courtside angle it looks like air, but from above the ball looks like it changes directions. Why it was not reviewed, I don't know, but this is not a call that is really "overturned" here because the officials do not reset the 24 second clock when a ball hits the rim, someone at courtside does. If they are not sure, they are taught to not reset the clock and let the refs handle it if the buzzer goes off---so the play was absolutely officiated correctly


Late note, I just googled video review, and 24 second shot clock violations are apparently NOT REVIEWABLE---here are links to the NBA rules, as well as a story about a Kings/Spurs game a month ago where this happened

So I can answer 1 question for you Greek--it was not reviewed because they can't.

and yes I am obviously a celtics fan, so you probably won't believe I
really think it hit rim

It’s a shame a call this bad last night at Sacramento could decide playoff seedings in the NBA West
