Heat, Hawks to replay final minute of Dec. 19 game later this year

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of their game last month because the NBA said the official scorer ruled incorrectly that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out. This will be the first time since 1982 the league has sent teams back on the court for a replay.
The Hawks won 117-111 at home in overtime Dec. 19. The NBA said Friday the replay will be held before the teams' next scheduled game -- March 8 in Atlanta. Play will start from the time after O'Neal's disputed sixth foul.
The Hawks also were fined $50,000, with commissioner David Stern ruling the team was "grossly negligent" in failing to address the mistake.
The protest is the first granted by the NBA since December 1982, when then-NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien upheld a request for a replay by the San Antonio Spurs after their 137-132 double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers the previous month.
The Spurs and Lakers finished the game in April 1983, with San Antonio winning 117-114.
pathetic
I agree
Wow.
I'm at a loss for words...
Hahaha
WTF WTF i mean im a heat fan but we would have lost that game anyway
Pathetic, but I can't wait to watch that; will be weird...
How about a replay of the end of regulation of Game 7 in 2006?
How about a replay of the last 0.4 of Game 4 in 2004?
You know..games that are SIGNIFICANT.
there was no game 7 in 2006.
Spurs-Mavs...
Well the .04 was legit as it should have been .08.....but who's squabling...that's too funny regarding the Heat....if they win they could get 2 victories that night.
Can't wait to watch this.
Well, the league made a mistake by granting this protest.
Because now, due to the nature of the officiating in Dallas Mavs games, there will be (and probably for valid reasons) protests filed just about every time Dallas wins.
Miami could protest a foul that was not called (Josh Howard) when Dallas held a 1 pt. lead in the closing seconds of their last meeting.
You're still doing it wrong. If I were you, I'd shut up while I was behind.
The protest was upheld had nothing to do with whether a foul call was correct. It had everything to do with the foul that was called on Shaq (whether right or wrong) was credited as his 6th foul of the game when it was really only his 5th foul. That is, Shaq was disqualified on 5 fouls, which is not permitted by the rules.
If you protest that a foul should have been called or that a discretionary decision by a game official was incorrect, you're going to lose that protest. If your big center is disqualifed on 5 fouls, though, you've got a chance.
Come on now...this is SD we're talking about...
So what's the deal this is fake right?
The rules also state that you have to be behind the arc for a basket to be counted as a three-pointer. That shouldn't be a discretionary decision either. But I doubt we'll be seeing the Mavs-Pacers game replayed. I guess there's one set of rules for a team with The Next Jordan on it, and if you have the temerity to ask for the referees to correct their mistakes, you can go get ed. Either every game involving official scoring errors gets replayed or you have selective enforcement. you very much David Stern and Stu Jackson. I don't think the Mavs should have the right to have that game replayed, by if we go by Stern/Jackson logic, they absolutely should.
shaq can't play anyway.
It's so important to replay a game involving an 8-27 team going nowhere. Meanwhile, one game could very much make a difference in Western playoff seedings. Seriously, what the is wrong with David Stern and Stu Jackson?
It's real. They're about to talk about it on SC
This really ing pisses me off. I wouldn't raise a stink at all about that Mavs-Pacers game, but why this one and not the other? What's the ing difference? They both involve official scoring errors, and that game could have a great bearing on where we land, seeding-wise. Doesn't Miami want a high draft pick? WTF?
Because Dallas already gets so many games handed to them.
That's right, I forgot, the Pacers were just beating a team they were supposed to. Dallas tried to shoot some shots on them. No surprises there. Thanks for the trenchant analysis dumpster.
Get ready for lots more official protests. While we're at it, can we replay the final 10 seconds of Game Five of the 06 Finals?
LMAO that's exactly what I was thinking. Who cares because Shaq's going to be injured for that game anyway.
