Okay, wtf? Why did we not apply for this when the refs screwed up the call in the Houston game?

Did we ever actually submit a petition, or did they just review it because people were talking about it?

I dont know. But does it matter? The league is already on record backing up the call. Even if we submitted a petition do you think the league would admit to being wrong?

How does this impact individuals who placed bets on this game? Very unusual. If we were granted such a opportunity vs. the Nets, the NBA would surely leave us .1 seconds on the game clock

It was the refs, it was the statisticians in Atlanta who had everything wrong. Miami's statisticians provided them with the correct info IMMEDIATELY, yet they didn't bother with it.

we didn't qualify for a petition because nothing was screwed up...the ruling is a judgment call, thats what the refs do, judge...

on a side note, didn't the Atlanta statisticians screw up last season on a game with the Raps by not crediting 2 points to TJ Ford?

We got screwed over in that Phoenix game as well.

I was just going to mention that.

If they give this to Miami after not doing anything over that incident, which is arguably worse because it actually took points off the board where theoretically Shaq may not have even scored again, I think that's pretty f***ing ridiculous. In fact, I'm going over to the Raps board right now, because I'm sure there's very entertaining mayhem going on right as we speak.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Hey Commish, where is our replay?

We all know you are desperate for Miami to win but come on, remember what happened to us a week ago? Foyle had a tip in that was good and your refs decided to rule it was not? How about righting that wrong?

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

Even though this is a statistics error, I still feel sh*tty about how much we got screwed out of going to OT, Adonal must be shaking his head.

Yes there's a major difference in the scenarios because Shaq didn't really foul out, BUT THE NBA IS BULLSH*T AND CONTINUE TO SLAP US IN THE FACE.
