Silver

[hater]

that was a foul on Lebronze IMO

[Double-Up]

Yea that was rigged, no foul called so let's give them the ball. That was clearly off Pierce.

NBA

what a joke of a league

[Strange Love]

They got like 2 make up calls and still failed to get off a shot. So who's fault is this really?

[testies]

Nets suck
no excuses

[Clipper Nation]

Nyets choked even worse than we did AND got make-up calls.... no excuses....

[sexinthatsx]

NBA trying to make a consistent call as witnessed from last night, but their credibility is still screwed.

I am fairly sure they made the right call on the replay. I believe the rule is if the defense hit's the players hand and that is the last time the player touches the ball, it's the same as the defender hitting it out and the offense retains possession.

[Seefourdc]

Yeah man those damn refs were completely responsible for the Nets scoring 3 points in FIVE MINUTES.

it was a foul thou.

which was not called. Obvious makeup call for the refs.

[Red Hawk #21]

Seems like Pierce and KG lose to Lebron every year...

[Mal]

I think that sequence with same defensive bump being called diffrently set the background for this comeback.

[Clipper Nation]

Seems like Pierce and KG lose to Lebron every year...

Plus Pierce always talks about LeBron in the playoffs every year and then gets torched for 40+

[DPG21920]

Was a missed foul, but not a makeup call. Since he hit his hand (foul or not) and that was the last touch, it goes back to the offense.

what does "foul or not" mean

at what point would it NOT be a foul and still off bounds off the defender?

ing truth, those dudes are gunna end their careers taking L's to the Kang.

Because the actual rule is that hand is part of the ball. But in that scenario (defender hitting hand of offensive guy, not a foul, but the offensive players hand was the last person to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds). If it's one chain of events (defender hit's hand, hand hit's ball, ball goes out) vs that then a guy flailing then touching it again, it goes back to the offense.

so it says in the rules "foul or not"?

link please?

[hater]

Because the actual rule is that hand is part of the ball.

But Lebron did not hit Pierce's hand. He hit his arm.

again question,

which scenario does this play belong to:
a) defender hits offender's hand and cause ball out of bounds (offense ball)
b) offender is the last to touch the ball (defense ball)

which one?

(let me give you a hint, (a) didn't happen)

[DPG21920]

b) offender is the last to touch the ball (defense ball)

Both a and b. You say he hit his arm, but it looks like he got part wrist/hand, which is why it was the correct call.

Didn't Pierce juggle the ball quite a bit, though, before it went out?

[hater]

Both a and b. You say he hit his arm, but it looks like he got part wrist/hand, which is why it was the correct call.

it can't be A and B. it has to be either A or B.

I understand hand is part of the ball. But Lebron hit Pierce's arm, not hand.

thus ball should belong to Heat.

[DPG21920]

No, he hit his wrist/hand. It probably should have been a foul, but it doesn't change the fact he hit the offensive players wrist/hand, which is what directly caused the ball to go out of bounds without any other touch by either player.
