Game #11: Memphis Grizzlies 92 - Toronto Raptors 96

[Joey]

Whats to overturn? That Sac supposedly got a finger on the ball, without actually deflecting it?

The Kings GM's reaction was the best. Literally blew a blood vessel in his right eye as a result.

The Kings have a legitimate case to get it overturned... it's impossible to make the kind of mid-air, turnaround layup that Courtney Lee did in about 0.3 seconds. Only tip-ins at the rim can be done in 0.3 seconds. Plus if the refs controlled the game clock and were a fraction of a second late in starting the clock, it would show gross negligence on the part of the referees. In the Stern era, this would've never been overturned. Silver though seems to be that kind of commissioner who's more transparent and will not cover up for people's mistakes.

But when you blow a lead the way the Kings did, a protest kinda looks weak....

it wasnt a turnaround layup. he caught it and tossed it up. and refs controlling the clock is not 'gross-negligence'. not sure why that would ever be the case. theres no way a human reaction could literally start the clock exactly when the ball is touched. there will be a slight delay regardless.

Unrelated but hard to figure out Cleveland. Lost to Denver today. That's like losing to the Knicks twice (Denver played last night as well losing to the knicks). It wasn't even at elevation.

No no. Kings are arguing that when Vince passed it, inbounds defender tipped the pass and Lee caught it. So clock should've started when defender tipped it.

That is argument #1, they are also saying that they have timed the amount of time the ball was in Lee's hands and it was somehing like .322 seconds, longer than the 3/10s on the clock, so they have 2 ways it could be overturned.
