Is Taj eligible to play game 6?

Presumably if they reviewed it to add the Tech for the other guy then Taj did not get suspended for game 6 in that review and the review is completed.

This just makes everyone look so f***in stupid.

They probably reviewed and realized Taj should have never been ejected in the first place. Every year I enjoy the NBA playoffs but think to myself how much more I'd enjoy them if it weren't for the refs (and this isn't just in Bulls games). I do think NBA refereeing is the hardest of any sport but I also think the refs are the absolute worst in professional sports and playoff basketball gets refed even worse.

So we get to restart yesterday's game from that point, right?

ya, all summer in our thoughts

Something about Blatt's deserved technical.

Something about LeBron traveling.

Something about goaltends.

Something about everything this series.

As Bulls fans, it is a bit hypocritical complaining about LeBron's calls vs. what MJ used to get, but this one call last night really bothered me because they were watching in over and over and came to the conclusion they did. Joey Crawford and the 2 dopes with him should be suspended for the rest of the playoffs for that call after a review last night. Giving a T the next day is nothing. Giving Cleveland 2 shots and the ball when it was their guy that was at fault should be a fireable offense. I could understand it if there was no replay, but the decision made after watching it over and over makes the NBA look bad IMO.

And Game 4.

 

We're almost at Kings-Lakers levels.

Gasol said he made good progress today and had "no residual pain". Said he will try to play Game 6.

Oh gee, an extra FT would have been nice to have when we were down 2 at the end of the game!

He won't get suspended period. He's had one flagrant 1 and one flagrant 2. That's 3 points. If you exceed 3 points, it's a suspension. Unless the NBA thinks what he did really warranted a suspension, he's not getting suspended.

Seriously. It amazes me that even with reviews, so much of this series has been just a officiating disaster. This is a million times worse then the inevitable BUT JORDAN DID IT comparisons that will happen, because they didn't have replay 15-20 years ago to make sure this stuff was right. Even with replay, the NBA still has managed to screw this up.

And considering they now T'd the other guy, that takes the pressure off of the NBA to do something additional to Taj.

That's what I meant, the NBA could have decided he did something significantly worse than just a Flagrant-2 and suspended him JR Smith style. As they reviewed the tape enough to say that the Cavs player should have received a technical foul, we can also say that they've reviewed the tape enough to decide they will not issue an additional suspension.

Jordan got calls but the game was overall much more physical when that did happen. Now they make calls because they assume there will be a foul. There also wasnt nearly as much traveling/eurostepping.

 

And with that technical, does that mean the Bulls win? The Bulls get free throws? Oh wait, it means nothing.

I will totally admit that Jordan got the calls, that is indisputable. I dont ever remember him talking a ref off of a goaltend though

 

 

And Dellavadovas day after tech is hilarious. They eject Taj, give DELLAVADOVA two shots at the line, AND the ball. Thanks for nothing

Oh gee, an extra FT would have been nice to have when we were down 2 at the end of the game!

Did they score on the next possession since they got the ball again?

Lol at the NBA! This series was great watching two teams battle it out, then the refs got involved.

That is what I found so laughable. They reviewed the freaking play and messed it up even more (ejecting Taj, etc). It was a total joke.

I don't even mind LeBron getting the calls...it just drives me crazy that even though he gets "the calls," he cries about e-v-e-r-y l-i-t-t-l-e f-u-c-k-i-n-g c-a-l-l he doesn't get.

 

Local radio host here in Vegas was just ranting about how LeBron ultimately will go down as the best player of all time. Half of his rant was him picking these random stat-lines from playoff games and mentioning that LeBron has done it while Michael has not. I was thinking exactly what you mentioned above in regards to the defense that used to be allowed, especially come playoff time. It's so incredibly different now I'm not even sure you can compare stat-lines between the two eras.

Did they score on the next possession since they got the ball again?

 

It would have been their ball no matter what but they still got free points from it
