I strongly beg to differ and a former NBA referee would agree with me but hey, that's just my opinionIt’s not rigged
It shouldn't really be interesting. Either the league says the call got blown, or they are lying.2 minute report will be interesting. I'll be curious to see the reasoning on the Jaylen Brown non-foul, if they go in depth.
scal was saying it was because they had clear possession on the reboundas a couple of us have asked: why did Indy get the ball after Jaylen reversal?
Not even relevant, he hit his head first.My guess is you're allowed to decapitate the shooter provided you hit the ball first? I don't know what the actual rule is.
Nah it is this motherfucker in the replay center tonight
The Celtics insist on just playing on in the last possession, (or what should have been the last possession), as opposed to calling a timeout and setting up a play. This game should have been a Celtics last second win, or overtime.it shouldn’t be lost in the ref-ball that shooting with 3 seconds left in a tie game is truly horrific clock management. That’s on both Joe and Jaylen.

No that was the correct call with no Celtic in the area and a direct rebound of the shot.scal was saying it was because they had clear possession on the rebound
which is pretty stupid if true. The whistle blew so you naturally stop playing.
He was triple teamed, he should have moved it to White.Not a huge fan of Jaylen's final minute there. Two low percentage takes and if not for the TO he was about to do his pivot fadeaway which isn't exactly a high percentage look either.
Especially since Scal was screaming about it 5’ away.I refuse to believe that replay overturn was on the up and up. There is no way that an impartial official would look at that and not notice the forearm to the head.
I think because since it was changed to a play on so if there was possession when the whistle blew that team gets the ball, which the Pacers hadWhy was the ball awarded to the Pacers when the whistle blew on the JB foul/non-foul? Should have been a jump ball.
First one was fine. They needed to get a shot off to to have the two for one. And Jaylen was sinking that all night.Not a huge fan of Jaylen's final minute there. Two low percentage takes and if not for the TO he was about to do his pivot fadeaway which isn't exactly a high percentage look either.
This part is mind-blowing. This is the moment the ref blew the whistle. The ball is circled in orange, and Porzingis (circled in green) is charging toward the rim as Jaylen shoots. He pulls up immediately after the whistle gets blown, as the ball is in the air. Does anyone know the rule on this?I'm still confused on why the Pacers got possession.
Inexcusable. I want to know who made the decision as I thought it went to NJ but others said it was made on the floor by the crew. If it was NJ than kudos to the crew for getting every fuckin call down the stretch correct at game speed....but we lose bc on slo-mo an Indiana native overturned it? WtfI refuse to believe that replay overturn was on the up and up. There is no way that an impartial official would look at that and not notice the forearm to the head. That was a full Donaghy.
He’s shooting 56% on fadeawaysNot a huge fan of Jaylen's final minute there. Two low percentage takes and if not for the TO he was about to do his pivot fadeaway which isn't exactly a high percentage look either.
Has to be NJ right? I’m not saying Tyler Ford had money on the game but the more I think about it the more it bothers me. Something isn’t right here. Beef with the Celtics or Jaylen Brown? That just cannot happen.Inexcusable. I want to know who made the decision as I thought it went to NJ but others said it was made on the floor by the crew.

The language is "reasonably certain" on who would have gained possession. They got it right as the ball was landing in the hands of the Pacers rebounder with no Celtics in position to challenge it.This part is mind-blowing. This is the moment the ref blew the whistle.

I don’t believe that’s the rule—if it is, teams should crazily jump after the ball after every whistle in case there’s a replay reversal.No that was the correct call with no Celtic in the area and a direct rebound of the shot.
porzingis was in the area thoughNo that was the correct call with no Celtic in the area and a direct rebound of the shot.
other than Porzingis, the tallest guy on the court.The language is "reasonably certain" on who would have gained possession. They got it right as the ball was landing in the hands of the Pacers rebounder with no Celtics in position to challenge it.
this comment is so fucking stupid at this point.Yup, he is so out of his depth.
I'd venture that he usually makes that shot when he's under control, which he wasn't when Joe called the TO.He’s shooting 56% on fadeaways
I have just become numb/indifferent to Joe not using a TO at the end of gamesI do find Joe’s stubbornness about not using the TO on the final possession odd. It isn’t working.
I read the reasonably certain language as being about triggering a review because it is unclear who had possession. I see nowhere it applies to a loose ball on a reversal of a foul. Only language I see about a loose ball or foul reversal says jump ball.The language is "reasonably certain" on who would have gained possession. They got it right as the ball was landing in the hands of the Pacers rebounder with no Celtics in position to challenge it.
Supposedly there was a clear recovery by Indiana.. so as Grandy said on the broadcast.. you basically have to play through the whistle at this point.. because why, as a player, would you try to get the ball after a foul has been called?He’s from the Brad Stevens camp on that—I wish he took more after Bob Huggins.
He should have dated them to give him a T after the KP “foul”….those two calls back to back are mind boggling.
still unclear why it wasn’t a jump ball on the Jaylen foul
As they should. Jaylen just went too earlyJT & JB just want to go ISO in every late/tight situation
yeah but that’s simply not what happened on the court. I mean it is not even remotely close.Supposedly there was a clear recovery by Indiana.. so as Grandy said on the broadcast.. you basically have to play through the whistle at this point.. because why, as a player, would you try to get the ball after a foul has been called?
They've been great far more often than not this season.The Celtics insist on just playing on in the last possession, (or what should have been the last possession), as opposed to calling a timeout and setting up a play. This game should have been a Celtics last second win, or overtime.
I guess it’s good that the only time Boston seems to lose is either in OT or the last seconds, but the last piece of the championship puzzle is correctly navigating crunch time. It didn’t get done today, and in almost all the losses this season.
I'm not saying I agree with it..yeah but that’s simply not what happened on the court. I mean it is not even remotely close.
I understand that’s what they must have ruled—-I’m just saying—-there’s no basis in the rules or the replay to support it
The ruling of a clear recovery means that there is not a reasonable chance of a Celtics having a chance at the rebound. Porzingis was several feet behind the Pacers rebounder as he was gathering the ball. He wasn't getting to that ball.Supposedly there was a clear recovery by Indiana.. so as Grandy said on the broadcast.. you basically have to play through the whistle at this point.. because why, as a player, would you try to get the ball after a foul has been called?
Yeah, they do this a lot to determine possession, but it really shouldn't be this way. Everything after the whistle should be considered void as play is dead and you don't know how players on both teams would have acted differently without the whistle. Instead, they pretend like the whistle never happened. Very strange.scal was saying it was because they had clear possession on the rebound
which is pretty stupid if true. The whistle blew so you naturally stop playing.
