Miami gets a Mulligan
11 01 2008Miami in it’s continuing struggle to get a ‘W’ gets the opportunity to change one of the losses to a win.
Miami can take advantage of Atlanta’s official scorer goof.
It’s the first time since San Antonio successfully argued for a replay against the Lakers in 1983. The Spurs would go on to win that game. Will Miami have the same success?
Home team scoring errors are an embarrassing part of the game. It may have cost Atlanta a victory earlier this year when the ‘official scorer’ missed a basket by TJ Ford. The Spurs also lost a memorable game due to home-team officials. How about Derek Fishers shot with 0.4 seconds left on the clock. Derek Fisher had the ball in his hands 0.4 seconds before the clock was even started - this one may have been a cost the Spurs another championship.
Now that we see that officials, other than the refs, can cost a team a game, what are the regulations on gambling with them?
