Can someone explain the Gasol/garnett out of bound play

[Derka]

lol, this really needed a thread? K.

[skaterbasist]

Wow, either some of you are dilusional or you didn't see the game.

It should have CLEARLY been overturned.

[srekaL]

the problem was is that the initially ruled it off gasol....there was not conclusive evidence on the replay that it went off kg....so they could not overturn it


i have no idea why everyone is so up in arms about the call. gasol's arm was going forward and clearly moved kg's hand/arm.....if i was reffing i would have called it the same way

it was a 50/50 call that could not be overturned based on the evidence

I don't really think you believe what you say. What constitutes a conclusive call? On one of the replays it shows the Garnetts hand on the ball and Gasols Fingers atleast 4 inches from it.

you don't know the rules of the game then. the hand is part of the ball. yes, kg's hand was on the ball....but it was gasol's arm and momentum that pushed kg's hand (which is part of the ball based on the rule book) and caused the ball to go out of bounds

its a 50/50 call.....end of story

It's pretty easy call to be honest.

Yes Garnett was the last to touch the ball, BUT Gasol pushed his hand and forced the ball out. The correct call could have been a foul on Gasol or Boston ball.

Pick your poison.

As Chris Webber said "One call can mean absolutely nothing, or it can mean the whole game".

When you're in the NBA Finals and it's a 3 point deficit in the final 2 minutes, yeah, it can change the game.

The only logic I could guess they used is that they thought KG lost the ball because Gasol pushed it out of his hands. But even then, it should be a foul, not possession out of bounds. But I don't think they can change a call to include a foul in that instance.

I think that is what happened.

Actually, the correct call would've been an over the shoulder call on Garnett.

That call and the call that Ron stole the ball from Rondo was two of the most crucial calls in the game. It could have tied the game.

I believe this is correct. After watching the replay, I thought it was out on Garnett. After they slowed it up, it looked like both their hands were on the ball. 50/50 call indeed. The refs obviously saw something we didn't. Perhaps a different angle?

cant change the call to a foul but can overturn the call on who last touched it
