thats not backcourt because he let the ball go backcourt before he touched it...had he touched it first and then dribbled backcourt youd get a call.. Secondly Howard was clearly calling a time out if he messed up he messed up period the end..he called for a time out just like webber did; if howard would be alowwed to take it back why shouldnt webber?? and most important of all bad calls are made both ways even had they taken it out from half court didnt mean they would score with 1.9 seconds left...they would most definitely be in a better position but it doesnt gaurantee they would have made a shot..And Mark Cuban cries and bitches about everything hence the 1.2 million in fines since he bought the team in 2000....now let the champs bring it home for us Cubans to enjoy for at least 1 year...
bad calls are made for both sides..you cant pick and choose which ones to look at just because of the result..sorry but no can do..a bad call with 1.9 seconds left has the same effect on the scoring as a bad call in the first 1.9 seconds. The same argument for wades foul can be made for calls that went nowitskis way...but im sure you didnt see those...
According to news accounts, instant replays show devan harris clearly grabbed Wade's arm at the end of ot, but they called the foul on Nogoodski. So what, a foul is a foul, no matter if they called it on the wrong guy. As to the time out, if the player calls it, which josh did, the ref is obligated to call the time out. That is the rule. As to the alleged backcourt violation, the refs, when asked, directly sited an nba rule stating that in the final two minutes of an nba game, you can throw it into front or backcourt. CASE CLOSED, GAME OVER (and series)
I have no stake in either side, so I don't really care who wins. The majority of the bad calls went Miami's way in Miami, and we likely see the bad calls go Dallas's way, at least in game 6. You know everyone but Miami fans want a game 7.... At least you do admit it was a bad call....and the bad call happened twice in the closing seconds of the game, and OT, giving the win to Miami. Coincidence? LOL...
If the roles were reversed, and it was Nowitski getting the same treatment, you would be whining like a Catholic schoolgirl...
when Avery resorts to using the HACK-A-SHAQ as an option to a freaken basketball game then you best believe im happy to get any calls wether good or bad that comes my way....
