The Blazers Won Game 4!

True... but look at his right foot... you can clearly see that and where the 3 line is... and it looks like he has half a shoe on it.

But it's a horrible angle, and we needed to make one free throw.

 

That sideline angle we all are clamoring for . . . the ref had it since he was standing about 10 feet away right on that sideline. So all conspiracy theories aside, if he called it a 3 from there, then that video isn't what you'd need to overturn the call. And what if the NBA released a statement today stating that it was a 2, then what? We replay the game? I don't think so . . . and, as I said in a different thread, changing that to a 2 changes everything that happens afterwards as strategies would've changed on both sides based on the score being different.

 

Mike and Mike go on vacation after round 1. These were national guys.

 

I dunno... Refs have gotten 3's wrong quite a bit.

 

Part of me agrees with this. However, I have apparently become a conspiracy theorist, and it sure seems like the refs were managing the game. Under those conditions, making a few extra FTs doesn't change the outcome.

 

That, I know and am well aware of. I guess my point is, do the basketball gods make you give Livingston an And 1 just prior to his techs if we take 1 point off the board for this supposed 3 by Klay? Plenty of other examples of things that could've gone another way and changed outcome of the game.

 

Definitely looks like a 2 to me. I agree with

 

Fair enough. We're "arguing" over something that, in the end, doesn't mean anything.

 

Are you new to message boards? That's why we exist!

 

Yeah! Hey! Someone else made 25,000 other posts. This is my first day.

*bans everyone*

Ooooh, shiny.

 

Are you thinking about the one where CJ was guarding him?

 

I remember that too. I wanna say CJ had gotten switched on him, but it's all a blur.

 

this video here shows all 5 of his 3 pointers made. which one are you referring to?

 

I definitely must have misremembered. The shot at 36 seconds in is the one that looks like a 2; the shot with Crabbe on him was legit.

 

I'm fairly sure you linked to the correct one originally b/c it was about mid way through the 3rd quarter and we had a 10 point lead at the time of the suspect shot. I was thinking to myself that the lead should be at 8 points after what I perceived to be a 2 pointer but the score on the screen reflected a 3 pointer, resulting in a 7 point lead. So for me, that was the one in question. There's no other 2/3 pointer in your second link that's even questionable.

 

i found a definitive angle of the shot in question
