This post should be included somewhere in Basketbawful’s weekend edition.
[...] Magic fans seem to be zeroing in on the non-technical call of Mo in the 1Q as the difference in the game: “Cleveland 96-Magic 95 + One Missed Technical= 0… OT.” [Matt Moore/Hardwood Paroxysm] [...]
Cleveland 96 – Orlando 95 + JUST ONE Dwight howard Free Throw = 0…OT
sorry, but a missed technical foul in the first half has absolutely nothing to do with the outcome of this game.
come on orlando, you’re the most delusional fanbase left in the playoffs, come up with some better conspiracy theories
While I have an admittedly biased Cleveland point of view, that should’ve been offsetting techs, granted the way Howard bashed Mo Williams across the back of the head some two seconds after the whistle.
It’s either no techs or two techs. Either way is more correct than T’ing up only one of the players involved.
Love how Magic Fan apparently never saw Howard trying to take out Mo’s head on a lay-up after the whistle blew. Great No-call, or double technical.
Haha, you guys are great, how do you factor in one tech in the 1Q when everybody knows there are missed calls (that are usually obvious) throughout the game. Don’t be sour, if you keep shooting lights out it won’t matter anyways.
You guys did see Howard swipe at Mo’s head well after the whistle, right? Should have been a double T.
Horrendous “miss” by the officials, but if anything, the fact that LeBron had been fouled already – the whistles had blown – and Howard went ahead & fouled Williams after the whistle could have easily, & maybe should have been called a double technical. The fact that the zebras called nothing was par for their course last night, as Brian Windhorst wrote after the game:
“On another matter, I felt the officiating in this game was horrid. I am perhaps the most staunch defender of officials of any beat writer in the NBA. I’ve had arguments with colleagues when they blame officials and I’ve said in this forum many, many times that officials very rarely influence the outcome of games and overall do an outstanding job. I seriously mean that.
When I saw who was on this crew tonight I felt there was not a true veteran leader among them. I was surprised this particular group was assigned to this game and I felt they blew numerous calls both ways. The blocking foul Sasha Pavlovic drew on Marcin Gortat in the foul quarter was awful. That was a charge all the way. The charge they called on LeBron when he ran into the side of Anthony Johnson was horrid. It was a guess. The travel called on LeBron with 30 seconds left was completely out of place, there is no way an official should step in there and make a call in that spot. Those are just three examples from the fourth quarter.
Numerous times in the game it seemed like they were guessing or trying for make up calls. They called it tight for awhile and then they called it loose. It was not a strong effort at all. Perhaps the worst in any Cavs playoff game in the last four years.”
Uhh…OK? That’s a technical, but it’s also a technical for Howard to make that contact after the play is over (and that play was long over), much less in the head. I think that was just the officials letting it go (i.e. nothing in the playbook). They probably talked to them, and I don’t think I saw any problems the rest of the game.
