Nomar, you're consistently missing the point. The refs said it was the proper call, they said you can hit the backboard. Sheesh.

That's funny since apparently you're missing mine. I don't have an issue, obviously, with people academically discussing a particular call. What I was responding to was (a) people saying that non-call affected the outcome and (b) general whining about the reffing. Just because you got defensive doesn't mean that I was directing my comment at you, nor does it mean that people didn't do what I said they did. They did, or I wouldn't have commented.

OK, I didn't see anyone saying it impacted the outcome until after all the bellyaching about ref complaints. In fact, I went back and it's still the case.

The referees were wrong.........trying to block a shot and actually having a chance to block a shot are 2 different things.....they misinterpreted whether he could block the shot or not and he couldn't so this was in intentional backboard slap period, watch it. Bazz threw it too high for a legal block so they were wrong!! Goaltending!!

Interesting timeline. About a dozen people complained about the call, which of course is perfectly natural, and two people said officiating affected the outcome. After a couple people said the refs didn't change the outcome, two people expressly said that the non-call did. Maybe that doesn't fit your timeline but to me that's proof.

Right, that's how I see it.

Not quite. One toe is still twitching.
