http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/202691/gamelogs/ Just watched the videos via the nba.com game log. I didn't see any 3's that didn't look legit. The only one that might have been questionable is the one @Darkwebs referenced, which is the second one in the video list, and it appears valid to me.
THis should be titled.... The blazers won game 4 IF... We made our fucking free throws. JUST ONE MORE.
They also win if Lillard makes 1 of his 2 technical FT's, or Aminu makes one more shot, or Curry misses one more shot. Calls are missed all game long. Play better
I know which make you guys are referring to - even thought to myself that they put one extra point on the board after that shot - but not seeing that shot in the highlights shown in the link. It was a shot where Klay stepped past the defender and jumped towards the basketball before shooting and, at least at game speed, clearly looked like a 2 pointer. Has anyone found a replay of this shot and provide a link here?
Here's the thing, Lillard missing that one tech was on GSW, not on us "playing better"... just make that one damn ft and we win by 1, all things happening the same. That's what sucks.
My point is, don't let it come down to one thing. Don't let the refs have the ability to skew the outcome of the game. Play better defense, move the ball more. You win, you win, you lose, you lose. If you feel you played the best you could, and still lost, you aren't as good as the other team, and that's ok. Adjust and get there next year
And honestly, that's where they are. I think they did play well enough to win last night... and that one tech to me is the difference... and I don't usually say one point changes everything, but it would of, 'cause we played about as well as we could to withstand the runs... and we would have withstood the curry run if that one point was made. The bolded part, I totally agree with.
Too bad it's that camera angle... it does look like his right foot is on the line, but it's not definitive. I do like the ref though, he put his hand up 3 times... he wanted it to be a 3 so bad... makes me question if it was.
Well, prior to seeing that replay, I was pretty sure in my head that it was a 2 but that looks pretty much like a 3 to me. Especially if they initially called it a 3, that video isn't anything near what you'd need as overwhelming proof to reverse it. Unless there's a sideline angle that clearly shows differently - that looks like a legit 3 to me.
That's funny... I watched it 4 times and each time it -looks- like his foot is on the line. But it's not definitively and looks can be deceiving. Sideline is the best way... and maybe someone has it? Though, if it is a 2, they probably burned the footage already to "uphold the NBA integrity"
You can't tell where his feet are on the ground prior to when he jumps forward and lets it go. I would guess by the video, it's a 3, but doesn't really matter. Ancient history.
