Knicks · 12 blown calls in the 1st 2 over times..WTF..smf (page 1)

The NBA's last-two-minute report turned into a last-22-minute report on Monday, as the league needed to sift through four overtimes' worth of game tape in addition to the final two minutes of regulation to determine if justice was done in the Atlanta Hawks' win over the New York Knicks.

That much game time is bound to produce a few mistakes, and the report acknowledged 12 of them - two incorrect calls and 10 incorrect non-calls - with seven benefiting the Hawks and five benefiting the Knicks.

Here's a quick rundown:

With 1:11 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Hawks leading 101-99, Knicks center Joakim Noah got away with setting an illegal screen on Dennis Schroder.
With 54.8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the Knicks leading 102-101, Carmelo Anthony got away with a loose-ball foul on Hawks center Dwight Howard.
With 30.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the Hawks leading 103-102, Schroder got away with a loose-ball foul on Noah.
With 3.5 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and the Hawks leading 104-102, Paul Millsap's shooting foul on Anthony's game-tying layup went uncalled.
With 1:14 remaining in the first overtime and the Knicks leading 111-108, Howard got away with a defensive three-second violation.
With 53.6 seconds remaining in the first overtime, Noah was whistled for a shooting foul on a Howard alley-oop layup (which cut the Knicks' lead to 111-110) that should've been a foul on the floor.
With 35.2 seconds remaining in the first overtime and the score tied at 111, Anthony got away with traveling.
With 12.9 seconds remaining in the second overtime, Anthony was mistakenly whistled for a foul on Shroder's driving layup, which gave the Hawks a 123-120 lead.
With 4.4 seconds remaining in the third overtime and the Knicks leading 130-128, Knicks guard Justin Holiday got away with fouling Schroder on his game-tying layup.
With 1:26 remaining in the fourth overtime and the Knicks leading 139-138, Hawks guard Malcolm Delaney got away with fouling Brandon Jennings on a drive to the hoop.
With 10.2 seconds remaining in the fourth overtime and the Hawks leading 142-139, Knicks forward Mindaugas Kuzminskas got away with a loose-ball foul on Mike Muscala after Schroder's missed free throw.
With 5.4 seconds remaining in the fourth overtime and the Hawks leading 142-139, Muscala got away with a loose-ball foul of his own on Willy Hernangomez after Knicks guard Courtney Lee missed a 3-pointer, though Lee recovered the rebound anyway.
The report also cited several ostensible "missed calls" that were deemed incidental or immaterial, as well as a handful of traveling violations - another three of them committed by Anthony - that were only observable using "enhanced video."

That seems like a lot of poor officiating, but again, this was 22 minutes of game time, and the scrutiny is mostly an exercise in minutiae. Few of the blown calls, if any, were glaring.

If anything, this is just a preview of what a potential 48-minute report might look like.

looks like it went both ways..

The nba 2 minute reports deliberately add & exaggerate stuff to make out that the result wasn't actually affected- so if there's a glaring blown call, they'll make up some stuff that the other team also had a missed call.

I thinks I agree with smack, there's a loose ball foul on almost every possession, just like in the NFL there's holding on almost every play. I guess if it's obvious they call it, and if it's not. they wont.

Also, there's a lot of miss traveling calls. The other day on NBA TV they had a video breakdown and it was crazy how many times players take that extra step, they don't even realize it, and neither does the ref.

The game became so much faster and players so much more athletic that refs cannot see all violations and probably most if them.
This make the game more un-relativistic meaning prone to probabilities.
With sample size is small for one game the luck can swing widely to one of the teams.
It levels up more over many games.
In summery if team suck it still can get lucky in a couple of games. But overall it will suck regardless.
If NY will be an elite team we will have enough point separation to negate any refs mistakes or even fraud.
If they bet on game with elite team against bad team people bet on spread not on the winner.
So fraudulent refs will manipulate the spread not overall result.

Yeah, I get the feeling that when NBA players and Prospects train, they have no problem practicing with a 3 step rule as opposed to the 2. They might as well change the rule.

I agree with Smack as well. Many of the calls they said were missed on Atl's side were not glaring and are rarely called. The 2 missed fouls on the Melo tying baskets were blatant and directly impacted the game. Given the ridiculous list they decided to put together for smoke and mirrors, they should have included the tackle Hardaway made on Lee to end the 3rd OT. That was the most blatantly missed call the entire game. It is consistently called in way less obviously situations consistently in everygame throughout the league.

5 second call vs Bucks. Game over. Knicks win
Rose fouled by Milshap, no call, Knicks stripped of a win.
Melo to the rack fouled by Milshap, no call, Knicks would have won.

That's 3 wins, which makes all the difference. Momentum is big and some of things could have been season changing.
