Nuggets screwed by Officials

[Wally]

Officials blew the whistle and blew the call at the end of the Nuggets / Lakers game & then called a jump ball. Lakers made a 3 pt shot & won(?) the game. What a farce!

Just think, when we get Kobe... we'll get all the calls

Kobe said tonight that he liked the Nuggets & Kiki...... we know he's not gay so maybe he means he want to play for the money at Denver.

Kobe doesn't have the balls to play for the Nuggets. Or does/did he? Case still pending... lol

 

[sly fly]

To make matters worse, I had the Nuggets straight up against the Lakers (who were giving up 3 points).

I parlayed this with PHX (-2) over New York, which I won.

That terrible call and then the 3 by Rush cost me $600.00.

All Denver had to do was hold on. I was in such shock of what just happened that I started laughing.

Then, I started crying!

Honey, hand me the Tylenol.


BTW, they had to hold Bzdelick back afterwards. He looked as mad as me.

Hmm...I'm beginning to see a pattern here.

1. Kobe says how much he'd like to play for (insert team here) right before the Lakers show up for a road game.
2. The crowd doesn't jump all over him like they did earlier in the season.
3. The Lakers win, and Kobe moves on to the next stop.


My guess is that Utah will suddenly become a prime contender for Kobe's services, if there's an away game there between now and the playoffs.

So, overall you came out ahead, right?

Bzdelick should call Mark Cuban for a loan so he could tell those officials what to do with their whistles.

Kobe, it's like he's the hottest girl in highschool, teasing all the guys... having them drool all over her... Look but no touch... Then when you think your in.... she'll go **** some college dude and shatter all your dreams.

or something like that.

Nope. I lost the bet. You need to hit every game in a parlay.

I laid down $160. I took PHX -2 (winner). I picked the Nuggets to win outright. I got better odds on that game because they were 3 point underdogs.

If the Nugs hang on, I win $600 plus my bet ($150).

Not a good feeling. When Rush had that open look, it eerily reminded me of John Paxson and his death nail. Slow motion. The guy should have never been left open. In fact, I think he's still standing there wide open.

I still can't believe that call! Carmelo had the ball in his hands and they blow the whistle. Of course, the Lakers are going to win the jump! Jess Kersey shoud retire.

"Now Beaver, let this be a good lesson for you."

The inability to get refs call games properly is an issue with the potential or tearing up the the league. All that would be necessary would be for one ref to be found to have "unusual finances" and all hell could break loose. One charge of corruption, no matter how weak the evidence, and the entire financial structure of the NBA could fall apart. It is so blatantly obvious that there are bad calls deciding games that the NBA has little credibility in this area.

After tonight, I'm done for awhile.

I'm playing with their money, since I've been busting the wise guys chops for awhile. But, nonetheless... it's still a bad feeling.

BTW, anybody know the over/under for tomorow's SAC/Laker game?

This from the cloonies at the NBA,

NBA Statement Regarding Officiating Error

NEW YORK, Feb. 26 –- The following statement was issued by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President, Basketball Operations, in regard to an officiating error during the Los Angeles Lakers-Denver Nuggets game on Feb. 25 at the Pepsi Center:
"In last night’s Lakers-Nuggets game, official Michael Henderson stopped play by blowing his whistle to signal a 24-second shot clock violation with 27.4 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. That call was incorrect because the ball, in fact, hit the rim. Once play was stopped, the game officials made the correct ruling by resuming play with a jump ball at midcourt. This was an unfortunate call at a highly critical point in the game, and we very much regret the error."


What a f**k'n joke.

Thanks, Billy!

You just needed to post that, didn't you?!?!

 

[Billythekid]

lol. sorry dude.

You should write to the NBA and tell them what they cost you!

lol

That sux man, i know.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Are you guys more upset that the refs made a bad call, that it cost sly money, or that the Lakers won the game?

Go Lakers !!!

What's the best online sports betting web site? I just want to take a little bit of money and see how far it will get me. Of course I would have been better off doing the string football season because I like picking football games more than other sports.

Joe. Bodog.com.

All kinds of bets, including props. That's where you can bet on how many points LeBron will score. Or the point, assist, rebound over/under for Jason Kidd and others.

It's too easy to do. Just provide them with your checking account routing info and you're ready to go.

I just put some money in there sometime during the season (when I get a good bead on teams), and will ride it out. I've done pretty good, and have already taken out the money I've put in.

It's quite fun (and, addicting). But, as long as you don't get carried away... it's ok.

You'd probably be quite good at it. Sometimes, you'll see a line posted that really favors you. The wise guys DO make mistakes... and that's when you pounce on them.

BTW, I took Dallas -2.5 tonight against SA. Ahh, I just couldn't let those ***tards laugh at me from last night!

I say that it cost sly money.

I've also got a bone to pick with Andre Miller in that one. Luke Walton absolutely picked his pocket and scored on an easy layup with about a minute left. Someone needed to do a heimlich maneuver on Andre after that one.

Denver had their chances. But, Kobe just wouldn't let it happen. Damn, that guy is good.

 

[BC867]

It was reported that the inadvertent whistle came after Denver rebounded. If that were the case, why would the ruling be a jump ball, instead of giving it to the Nuggets out of bounds?

Or was the whistle before the rebound?

 

[thegrahamcrackr]

In a surprise move by the league:

The official who made the call was suspended for 3 games, and summoned to NY to meet with the Referee board.

This is the first time I have EVER seen the league admit fault in a bad call, then publically punish the official. This is a great day for the NBA guys:

NEW YORK -- The NBA acknowledged Thursday there was an officiating mistake in the final minute of the Los Angeles Lakers' 112-111 victory over the host Denver Nuggets and suspended the official.

With the Nuggets leading Wednesday night's game 111-109, a shot by Denver's Andre Miller appeared to brush the rim and barely beat the shot clock. Teammate Carmelo Anthony got the rebound, but the whistle blew for a shot-clock violation. The officials huddled and ruled it was an inadvertent whistle, resulting in a jump ball.

The Lakers won the tip, leading to Kareem Rush's winning 3-pointer with 3.2 seconds left.

But NBA senior VP Stu Jackson said Thursday that there shouldn't have been a whistle on the play.

"That call was incorrect because the ball, in fact, hit the rim," Jackson said. "This was an unfortunate call at a highly critical point in the game, and we very much regret the error."

The National Basketball Referees Association said the league suspended referee Michael Henderson for three games and summoned him to New York for a meeting with league officials.

The group said the referee had followed NBA guidelines in making his call, but made a mistake.

"Yet rather than a traditional fine, the NBA is out-of-bounds in its actions," said Lamell McMorris of the NBRA.

Speaking before the Lakers faced the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, coach Phil Jackson maintained that Miller's shot didn't hit the rim and Anthony fouled Kobe Bryant as he got the rebound.

"You just see the ball disappear below the rim," Jackson said. "I've never heard of a decision like that rendered by the league office."

The Lakers coach said Michael Henderson got the call right when he ruled Miller's shot missed the rim, but was overruled by Jack Nies and Jess Kersey, the more experienced officials.

[Billythekid]

I think some sort of overruling should have been made on the night. The referee who made the call was obviously wrong, but the rest of the crew working that night should've stepped in and made some sort change. They too should be at fault.

Suspend them all i say. These guys practically robbed from Sly Fly's pocket.

 

[sly fly]

Tony Soprano: Sly, looks like you's had a bad night...

Sly Fly: Well, you know... the refs didn't help me out.

Tony Soprano: So, what do you's want me to do about it???

Sly Fly: Well, seeing that I really shouldn't have lost that game...

Tony Soprano: Oh, yeah?? Am I supposed to feel sorry for you's??

Sly Fly: Nah... I just thought...

(Sound of ankles snapping)


I'm still trying to figure out the moral of that story.
