After review, NBA says Billups' 3-pointer should not have counted

[RipCity32]

trust me, knowing you piston fans you would have made a HUGE deal about it

No shiz. I never said I wouldn't.

Magic fans have every right to be angry, but what can you do about it? Only thing you can do is to come out and beat us in Orlando twice.

ok, i'll agree with you guys if the pistons agree never to say a call is BS or say a call is a bad call for the rest of these playoffs.

no criticizing or you'll be hypocrites

I don't really care if you agree or disagree really.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Ok, just think about it next time why you wonder why people hate on Pistons fans...

 

[RipCity32]

I don't really care who hates on us either. Cause we might just be the one to get the last laugh.

This is like when Fisher flopped like a fish and red koolaid with hashbrowns.

that was on the refs, this is not

Yes the Magic got screwed on that play. Yet, Billups even said that Stuckey passed him the ball because he looked up at the clock and say that there was time left on the clock, if there wasn't time to pass the ball then he would've shot it and could have possibly made it. Even if the shot didn't count the Magic were only winning because of their 3 point shooting. They went cold in the 4th quarter for awhile from the 3 point line like 1/7 so it's not like the 2 point lead would've been such a huge deal. Plus there still was a 4th quarter to play, it's not like there wasn't 12 minutes left to make up what was it like 1 or 2 points?

Sure maybe the Magic wouldn't have won either way, but you Pistons fans are acting like no matter what you guys would've won GURANTEED, and it didn't matter at all. Obviously it mattered. Not only because it's three points off the scoreboard, but we took the crowd out of the game with the 3rd quarter we had and that shot got them back in. Momentum is a key factor, and we lost it thanks to that play. I'm not going to argue anymore unless things get out of hand, but Rip you know it's BS and I find it hilarious that you can't admit that...

We have the technology to reverse that call, why don't we use it?

 

[RipCity32]

When have I said it's not BS? I think I did say it was actually.

 

[RipCity32]

I'm really only trying to argue the fact that if we win the series I don't wany YOU to say that beating you guys this series doesn't prove anything because of this game. Cause that would be utter BS.

I was basing how I thought the end of the game would be on how the 4th quarter was played out. For like the first 8 minutes or so the Magic only shot 1/7 from the 3 point line. In the 3rd quarter they were what like 7 for 8? They scored 33 points in the 3rd, but only 17 in the 4th. Yes momentum is a key part, but as long as the games close the Palace is never quite. Nelson ended up fouling out of the game and was having a nice game with 22 points 7 rebounds and 4 assist. Saying that the one play in which we got a free three costed you the game when there still another 12 minutes to play is bs. Orlando is a streaky team and in the 4th they weren't hitting their 3's.

 

[RipCity32]

Oh ya, forgot about that Grandy. Nelson was your main 3pt shooter in the game.

And yes, the Palace is NEVER quite.

 

[RipCity32]

Also if the Magic can get one stop in the 3rd while hitting all those 3's, that 3 would of gave you guys a 1 point lead still.

So one play didn't cost you anything at all IMO. Even though yes it was a bad call.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I understand that if you guys were to sweep us, it has little outcome on the series. But what if the series goes 7 games? Then it obviously has a HUGE impact...

 

[RipCity32]

Well that is quite a large "what if" and we can discuss it if it were to happen.

 

[.s31t]

Considering it cost us the game and potentiall the series, that's BULL <Censored>

Agreed! You have to blow the whistle and restart the clock in that situation. Just like HS Basketball.
