Can someone explain the Gasol/garnett out of bound play

[lilo]

It's not always called this way. It's always called off who slaps the ball last. When someone comes from behind to tip the ball, their fingertips often touch the ball and that's why it's considered off of them...

Not correct. Garnet did not slap the ball, he was in position and was trying to catch it. Gasol, on the other hand, was reaching from behind and he slapped the ball (and Garnet's hand).

I'm not saying it was off Gasol but this picture literally proves nothing.

I see brown fingers touching the ball...hmmmmmmmmmm.

It shouldn't be /thread because there shouldn't be a thread. I hate the Lakers and want them to lose, but I was so when they gave that ball to Boston. They showed the reply like 5 or 6 times and each time it was more obvious off of Garnett. I don't understand how a thread on this can be longer than one post...

That picture doesn't show how close the ball is to going out of bounds.

I'm not arguing who it went off of, I'm just saying that there's no way you can draw any conclusions from that picture that I quoted.

My point is, it needs to stop. This is the Finals and it's being officiated softer than a regular season game.

I agree that the officiating is too tight, but in the interest of not hijacking this thread further, I have put my full reply into a new thread: http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/sho...30#post4437230

No moron, it's when when the ball IS going out. I'm watching an HD slow motion replay and taking screenshots as it's going out, and that's the last image of someone touching the ball.

You just made me download the game in HD, just to prove you were wrong... but it just backfired, last touch by Garnett, should have been Lakers ball, i'm the biggest moron on this thread.

In that case can you tell your fellow Utah fans to stop whining about this play because its been 14 years and I still see people bring it up.

BTW I give credit were credit is due. The C’s played much better D in game 2 and Ray was un****ing believable and the Lakers were not closing on him well. That being said if Ray doesn’t have a historic shooting night it’s a completely different game. Bad calls were all around on both sides. Kobe got some BS calls but so did Ray in game 1. This is going to be a hard fought series. I just hope the Lakers can adjust and come in ready to play and not expecting the Refs to bail them out.

The last replay they showed last night left no doubt that the ball went off KG, but the other 2 angles weren't clear. How long and how many different views the refs have I don't know. I know I wanted Boston to get the ball and the Lakers to lose though.
