**** ! Clock suddenly stopped working and the refs think it's good. What is that ? Street basketball ? Why the hell do we have all that technology then ???

That is soooo stupid. The refs should be able to view the replay because the question was would the clock have been at 00:00. No matter what the rule says, they really need to change it. Case and point, this circumstance. Refs should be able to review a play antime there is a question about timing. I'm not even a Magic fan and I find this unbelievably dumb. The refereeing has been pretty ridiculous in these playoffs thus far.

And if they can't review it, at least redo the play.

Used my dvr and a timer. The timer dings 5 secs before billups even gets the ball to shoot and I started it late. TERRIBLE call.

EDIT: well TNT says it was 5.22, guess my timer sucks but still shouldnt have counted

Well TNT just called the refs out on the air.

No doubt the Magic will file a formal protest if they lose. Very frustrating they couldn't fix it there, that's a rule that will be changed in the offseason.

Absolutely GREAT BROADCASTING by TNT to show the replay with a stop watch. I didn't think they had the balls to do it.

Lewis is playing good. I'm not saying he's earning his pay but he definitely looks good right now. And I really hope Orlando wins this game. That was one of the biggest officiating scandals in the Nba history.

It was closer than I thought it would be, but still, we got jipped. At least we are winning though. No complaints there.

If by scandal you mean egregious error that idiotic rules didn't allow the refs to correct.

Looks like the Magic have already put it behind them (at least till after the game), playing pretty well.

ok i apologize to TNT for saying they didn't have the balls. They apparently do! Good job TNT! You just earned back my respect! Unfortunately these commentators are making me hate TNT.

Typical Pistons game. They get every call. Shocking.
