Just watched that Ford shot again on ESPN

And I really think Al Horford got a hand on that ball!! Someone on Hawksquawk brought this up as a possibility, so I watched it again specifically looking at the inbounds pass... I played it over and over in slomo and I really think he touched it!

This would explain the clock starting when it did.... nobody's looking at that when they show the replay! Everybody's saying the Raps got robbed (Stephen A. Smith), but I'd like to see them examine the inbounds play more closely, and I'd really like to hear from Al, or the refs to discuss what they saw.... I maybe wrong, but it looked like he got a hand on the inbounds pass.!

I thought initially it might have made contact, but I doubt it. If it did it didn't affect the flight or rotation of the ball at all which is normally tell-tale.

The Bibby shot is a different issue. If it was that obvious then that is Mitchell's fault for not having the time reviewed by the officials during the timeout. Mistakes like that happen ALL the time because we're talking about tenths of a second.

Mitchell did complain to the officials, they chose to ignore his request to check the tape.

3 games in Atlanta in 12 months that ended in "mistakes" by the scorekeeping crew. Weird coincidence. Not one "mistake" by another team in the NBA.

Weird.

Anyway, certainly not the fans' fault. Just a weak/corrupt scorers' table.

Your excuses are weak. You lost. You choked away a 17 point lead and you place blame on the referees and scorekeepers.

If the Referees really thought Horford had touched it, they would not have even bothered looking at the replay at the end, because that play was much longer then a second.

I don't give a damn about other calls. They have nothing to do with it since this was a REF error. How hard is that for you to understand moron. Are you from Canada aswell?

What's wrong with Canada? Great place as far as i'm (and the rest of the world is) concerned.

Ref error for the early start.....what about the .5 seconds instead of .7 or 8.
Fine, if its in another city.....in atlanta. Stinky.

Sorry Raptor fans



The more you guys post this, the more it takes away from your intelligence and argument.

Ha, Raptors blew a 17-point lead. How good can a team be if they blow a 17-point lead in this stage of the season?

First round exit for the captors.
