As far as I'm concerned, if the refs aren't allowed to overturn that blown TJ Ford game winner from a few weeks back, they certainly aren't allowed to retroactively call a foul.

(I'm assuming they didn't call the foul in regulation here - I can't actually watch it).

Well, that was a letdown. Still, you have to feel good considering how much the Cavs continue to struggle.

Were these the Refs from the USA-Russia Gold Medal basketball game?

Great win for the Wizkids. 117 w/o Gil and Caron is impressive. Let's get some rest and get ready to bless the mistake by the lake!

There was definitely a foul. I'm just curious how on earth the refs could possibly determine that the call came before the clock expired. The only thing I was able to see was the foul, not a signal that indicated that a foul occured.

Going to be interesting to see what the protest will yield.

Phil Knight calls David Stern, who calls the sideline, and the foul gets called. In the WWE at least there's some schtick.

The Cavs vs Philly game don't matter anyhow. After we kick the Cavs ass the first game in Cleveland, we will have home court advantage.

Are you kidding me.

Sixers lost by 1.

That sucks.

Oh well, guess the Orlando game will be more of the youngs and rest for those that need it.

DS = zero mins
GA should play some since he rested tonight

AD should rest

CB should rest again. He can rebound from missing 2 games like he didn't miss a beat.

AJ = 10 mins.

You have to play to learn. Even mistakes are invaluable.

I hope those with so little patience ( not saying you miller ) don't have kids :rofl:

Consor on the radio postgame "I stopped counting after they
missed 20 fouls on AJ" or words to that effect.

Right. After the initial annoyance, I'm fine with what happened there. I said yesterday that I'd rather rest our top guys than get home court, and that's essentially what happened. I think we beat the Cavs at home or on the road, so no matter who is the fourth seed.

Dude is a crack head.

Anyway, we won.

The youngs had it going. I think we lost rhythm trying to mix 4th and 2nd gear then the clutch popped so it was hard getting it going again.

No way AJ should have played as much as he did but we didn't have a lot of options with DS, CB and GA out and AB in foul trouble. Though more NY was a no brainier.

AJ didn't mix well with what we had out there.

But consider this. We scored 117 with out all those players and won by 7. Impressive.

Opec was out of control during parts of this game, throwing up wild shots, I know he makes buckets son, but really.
