Not that, that play was even close to the worst call of the night, but just to let you know they actually did go to the scorers table and watch the replay and STILL decided there was no time left.... Just another capper on what was one of the worst officiated games Ive ever seen.

EDIT: after the shot, there was clearly .4 (maybe .5) seconds left, and the refs called it a game. but they can go to the clock and check it out, but they didnt?... couldnt the cavs go to the league like miami did vs the hawks and play that .4 (maybe.5) seoncds?

In most FIBA leagues there's a rule that states that if theres less than .6 (or .8 in some leagues) in the clock after the shot then the game is over, as it's impossible to get the shot off in less time than that. I thought the NBA was going to instate a similar rule after Fishers .4 fiasco vs the Spurs a couple years back, where he clearly took more than a second to get the shot off.

It's ONE GAME. You are going to the playoffs, you are getting a top 4 seed, just relax dude. The fact that you went through the trouble to put that on here says a lot. Plus, wtf are you going to do with .4 seconds left under your own basket with no timeouts left?

This is ridiculous, even First Take this morning was asking whether Michael Redd's shot was a travel or not, wtf? It wasn't a travel, not even close. Because Lebron lost and the Bucks won the media has to find a reason why it happened. OMG Lebron is GOD, he can't lose!! The game is over, let's move on.

it doesnt matter if its one game. its a big game. cavs need as many wins as possible, to contend for 3rd seed (which they want) and every win counts huge. instead of being 3 games back of orlando, its 4. its a big game.

boooo hoooo hooo

you want us to call the waahhhhmbulance?

put up and shut up. nobody cares if the refs favored the other team for one night. why? because they favor Lebron 95% of the time. And you're not even in the West, so don't call this a "big" game. A big game is when you are a couple games out of the 1st seed, and a couple games of being out of the playoffs.
