It isnt on youtube.

Does anyone have it to put up here? I have no idea how to convert Tivo to my computer.

It would be cool to see and dissect here.

The excuse I'll use is that Phil Jackson has pictures of David Stern in a compromising position with Vladimir Putin.

Tivoed the game watched it when I got home last night. I watched that play a couple of times and watched the broadcasts replay as well. I just saw it differently than you, but there is no way that the Ref that called the play should have made that call. I would not have freaked out if the call went against the Lakers since it was a close play and the ref that was in position did not call it.

Wow, this thread got out of hand. Jazz fans are frustrated and it's easiest to point out flawed reffing when frustrated. Laker fans, let Jazz fans be frustrated. It's part of being a fan. It's ok to whine and complain. Someone tell me what's wrong with that as a fan? Seriously? Do I really think the refs are going to be the reason the Jazz lose (if they do) the series? No. That doesn't mean I (and other Jazz fans) won't be frustrated and perhaps lash out in frustration. "Logic" is not the best way to go when a passionate fan is frustrated.

That's fair.

I'd like to point out that I used the word "frustrated" and "frustration" 6 times. Well done me.

You didn't really answer the question, but okay.

I am sorry, I missunderstood. To me it looked like AK reached. Sasha then lost the ball and dribbled it off his knee. Is that what you mean?

I guess I got confused when I saw the title of this thread. My bad.

You're still wrong. Based on the comments on this board, Jazz fans HAVE issues with the refs; however, Jazz fans feel that the refs did not determine the outcome.

Commenting on crappy officiating is not the same thing as blaming refs for a loss.
