You guys be the judge. [video=youtube;HMgi4F4q-gs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMgi4F4q-gs[/video] I'm surprised they didn't review this. I think LA slapped the ball before it hit the backboard.
You also have to remember that the officials had to make that call real time..... not with slow-mo. Too close to call.
Exactly - so instead he made up the call. Scott Foster was 45 feet away on on the wrong side of the basket to make that call.
I didn't realize that this was a reviewable call until I read that Aldridge asked them to review it and they said No.
When it happened live I screamed GOALTENDNG. After looking at all 8 of our angles in slowmo, over and over and over, it was still a tough call to make. I'm just saying, real speed it looked like goaltending. I can't blame the refs on this one.
So what plays are reviewable? And were you responsible for that zoom-in on the naked toes of the blonde sideline reporter at halftime? Yeh, that's right, they showed that on NBA.com!
Flagrant fouls or not Fights Clear Path 3 pointer or not Clock scenarios Last 2 minutes of game or O.T. who the ball went out off of. There is an official list out there, but those are the major situations.
And you don't make that call at the end of a game. If it had been the other way around, I assure you they would have not called Durant for goal tending.
NBA media sites have a lot of interesting stuff. A few years ago I applied online to get access. The form asked for my profession and I just told the truth. A day later my application was denied. I should have lied and said I'm in the media.
