If we can't even make an inbounds pass that woulda won us the game after 2 tries we deserve to lose. Clownderon handed them the game. AA had 2 guys around him and he was almost out of bounds when Calderon passed to him. I bet most people felt it coming too. The guy ALWAYS manages to **** up inbounds passes somehow late in game. It's actually funny at this point.
I don't understand this way of thinking. Everything you say about how we screwed it up is true
BUT
even though jose shouldn't have thrown it to AA there is no question whatsoever that AA was pushed out of bounds. That is just a plain and simple fact. AA did not launch himself out of bounds on purpose, and even if the ball was thrown to him 3 feet out of bounds he is a big human and can easily catch it 3 feet out of bounds while his feet remain in bounds. He was pushed out of bounds and that is a foul. The proper call was a foul on the 76ers whcih would have ended the game. Instead, it gave the 76ers a chance to tie it. And posters are fine with that bad call? Really? Do you think the players are?
if the Heat or San Antonio had that happen to them there would be outrage. But we think we deserved it? How is that supporting our players, who choked a lead away but still did just enough to win the game only to get robbed? Keeping in mind this has been happening all season.
