    He was still touching the ball when it hit 0.

    Even after watching the replays they determine "no basket"? That's a bad call. Like Jason Kidd would say, their "three blind mice". I could understand making a mistake if they didn't look at a replay, but that is just silly.

    So, what happens now? I remember a season ago ( or was it two?) that a ref was suspended for costing the Denver Nuggets a game. Should the same be done here?

    Didn't look like it to me.

    I don't know, it seems like he got it off in time

    I froze it frame by frame, and he was still clearly touching the ball when the clock hits zero, and had a finger on the ball as the red light came on.

    This was a legit shot and the refs did rob the Magic of the game. I looked at it 9 or 10 times. He got it off in time.

    A tight call but I'd say it had just left his finger when the Buzzer went.

    Yeh it is too fuzzy. Isn't there a decent quality video. Not just someone recording something on their TV on their phone lol.

    If it's too fuzzy how can you be so sure he got it off?

    Because while the video is in motion, for the most part, the fuzziness clears up.



    lol...fuzziness.

    The video quality isn't very good. I saw the replay on ESPN yesterday, and it looked like he got it off in time. The analysts were all saying it was a good shot too

    on the NBATV recap they said that the consensus in their newsroom was that the call was correct, not like that matters.

    regardless, it was suuuuuuuuuch a close call, i can't see how you can say something like "something needs to be done about the refs"

    NBA's highlights from last night...can't really tell.

    <div><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/SCnQxDRdOxs&"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/SCnQxDRdOxs&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350" /></embed></object></div>

    Orlando-Houston highlights, still hard to tell. Listen, in the video, he says: "The consensus in our newsroom is that they got the call right." (just like KC said)
