They showed the frame by frame on FSN and it was out of his hands when the red light was on.

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the game MF3 but I'd recommend anyone who did to do this, and email the media as well.

Neither could I, but I saw the replay of the tip-in, and I saw Yao's "charge".

I also threw in a rant about the Nets game just to make it look longer and angrier.

That's 2 points for the Rocket and a foul on Yao. Take it like a man, guys.

Honestly, it's funny that you show that replay. Because I initially thought it was a horrible call, but after that replay I now see that Yao WAS moving still when Dwight was trying to go after the layup. Watch Yao's right foot just before the call, he sticks it out another half foot (which he really didn't need to do).

To be fair it doesn't matter if it was out when the light was on. What matters is the screencaps from 0.1 to 0.0 which would clearly show it. From the caps I've seen, it's pretty damn close, but it looks like at 0.0 it was just barely off his hand, but still released.

People call Yao's charge a bad call that evens this out, but DWIGHT HOWARD FOULED OUT OF THE **** GAME.

Only 2 of Dwight's 6 fouls were legitimate calls. Then you have the 8 charging calls against the Magic to the Rockets 1 or 2.

But that doesn't matter at all, because this should have nothing to do with reffing. This is looking at a video and giving a black and white answer. It was just blatant bullcrap by the refs.

Yeah, enough with the bogus call on Yao. Stop acting like these 2 plays were the only bad calls in the entire game and that by some ghetto logic it's now perfectly evened out.

MagicFan3 · Post #447 » by **MagicFan3** » Sat Jan 5, 2008 3:54 am

They can keep talking about the Yao call all they want, because we all know it doesn't even anything out at all.

Yao's charge wasn't even as bad as its being made out to be. Wrong call? Obviously. But I can see what the ref was thinking. Yao was moving in the paint, peeked over his shoulder, and then moved in front of Dwight intentionally. It looked like Yao stuck his ass out a little bit to give Dwight an extra bump. Unnecessary contact on Yao's part. Should have been a no-call, but oh well.

using that yao call in defense is ludacris. whether it was called or not it had no effect on the outcome of this game what so ever. anything could of happened from that point on. maybe if howard didn't get that bogus offensive foul call with yao, he would of still been in the game to block rafers cappy little layup. the call on adonal foyles tip decided the game.

NBA TV said it was the correct call..... actually, one guy did, and the two others questioned his sanity.

The same channel that pretended the brawl in the Palace didn't happen.

The jumbotron showed a slow mo replay with a perfect, straight ahead view. The ball CLEARLY, without question had come off of Foyle's fingers. Clear separation. The place was in an uproar. So much so, a stupid drunk threatened my 11 year old daughter for bumping into him when she and her little bro were rough housing in the hustle and bustle on the way out. Of course, I may have further stirred things by scolding my child saying loud enough for the buffoon to hear ( and a couple dozen others) " Honey, how many times have I told you. NEVER BUMP INTO STUPID DRUNKS WHEN THEY NEED A CLEAR PATH TO THE LADIES ROOM TO UP THEIR NACHOS!" His large female friend restrained the lout... But, yeah...even the drunken fool was in a bad mood after his team was clearly cheated.

See now that's sickening, the drunks should have just thrown their beer at the refs like a real man would.

Tough break.

Didn't see it, but heard it.

I can handle bad calls, but I would like to see the NBA acknowledge them too.

theTHIEF · Post #454 » by **theTHIEF** » Sat Jan 5, 2008 4:06 am

theres a difference between a foul call which could or could not effect the outcome and a call which undoubtedly controls the outcome...

I fully expect a compensation by the refs. If we're in a situation like this again, I'm sure the refs will make the right calls.

CORBIN, GUTHRIE AND WASHINGTON ALL NEED SUSPENSIONS FOR THIS BULLSH*T!

I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT THEY MADE THE WRONG DECISION AFTER LOOKING AT THE REPLAY FOR 3 MINUTES (WHICH THEY DIDN'T SHOW ON THE JUMBOTRON FOR THE CROWD TO SEE)!

THE WHOLE POINT OF REPLAY IS TO CONFIRM OR OVERTURN A CALL MADE BY THE OFFICIALS! GUESS WHAT????!!!! THEY DIDN'T MAKE A CALL AT THE BUZZER, NO 'COUNT IT' OR 'NO GOOD' THEY JUST GOT IN A HUDDLE AFTER A MINUTE AND CHECKED THE REPLAY! THAT'S WHY THE REFS WEREN'T COMMENTING AFTER THE GAME, THEY KNOW THEY **** THAT AND THE CALL ITSELF UP!

Adonal should've been a hero tonight for sending the game to OT after toughly getting beat by Rafer.

GET DWIGHT THE ****' BALL MORE!
I'm sorry, but we should not have been down for most of that game.
DWIGHT WAS NOT THE ONLY GUY WHO HAD 4 FOULS GOING INTO THE 4TH QUARTER, YAO DID TOO AND HE DIDN'T PICK UP EVEN ONE BECAUSE WE DIDN'T ATTACK HIM LIKE WE SHOULD'VE.

22-13, AND GUESS WHAT, just to piss us home fans off, we're probably going to go 3-1 on this road trip.

THE GUYS ON ESPN SAID WE GOT **** OVER. IF YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE NBA AND THE REFS HAVING A BIAS AGAINST US, HERE'S THE **** PROOF FOR YOU PLAIN AS DAY!

hopefully this motivates our team to play better somehow.

So Adam, I take it you didn't agree with the call? :lol:

Hairy Midget · Post #459 » by **Hairy Midget** » Sat Jan 5, 2008 4:13 am

SVG said there was no call on the floor.

Is that even legal?

No, and I had already figured out they didn't make a call initially.

You can only call inconclusive evidence when you've already made your original call, and there's no reason to reverse it. That obviously was not the case here. If these refs aren't suspended for this, while Joey Crawford gets suspended for T'ing up TD last year, then I demand the Magic transfer to the ABA. At least they have good refs.
