NBA admits mistake in Nuggets-Mavs game
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...ory?id=4155285
The NBA says officials were wrong when they didn't call an intentional foul on the Dallas Mavericks just before Denver's Carmelo Anthony made a game-winning 3-pointer.
"At the end of the Dallas-Denver game this evening, the officials missed an intentional foul committed by Antoine Wright on Carmelo Anthony, just prior to Anthony's three-point basket," Joel Litvin, NBA president of league and basketball operations, said in a statement issued by the league about two hours after the game.
That should make Mark Cuban happy. Everything is ok now.....

The NBA is garbage.. I am glad I am a fan of the Clips and not of some team that thinks they have a chance to make it to the finals because that stuff has been predetermined by the OFFICES.. Remember this is a business.. I am sure the lakers and the overRATED Cavs will make the finals...

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight, because Dallas winning this game would have been the tide turner eh? Dallas had no chance from day one dude.
It has nothing to do with the league being rigged.

Re: NBA admits mistake in Nuggets-Mavs game
iono to me what i saw was wright pulling both hands back as if to gesture he did not commit a foul... if he was REALLY committing an intentional foul, you do not pull both hands back, if he was really trying to commit an intentional foul, he would not pull his hands back til the whistle is called... i dont know, looks too obvious to even be argued but then againt does it even really matter?? Nuggets are 3-0 regardless..

WHEN YOU COMMIT A FOUL ON PURPOSE MOST PLAYERS RAISE THEIR HANDS AS TO SAY "I DID IT!!!"
Why can't people see that???
It is clear as day that he was trying to foul...the damn NBA is even admitting it...
This should be enough for NBA fans to admitt the call was blown...

Cavs for life
Re: NBA admits mistake in Nuggets-Mavs game
Well at least they admitted what was already obvious to everyone. Doesn't help the Mavs of course, but lets be real, they were going to lose this series regardless.

if u watch the clip again his gesture was quite clearly to signal no foul cos melo immediately shot a three. he didn't wanna give an AND1
i always thought you raise ONE hand to signal an intentional foul
in any case, wouldn't wrapping his arms around melo be a more obvious intentional foul. i thought that was just dumba$$ on his part
and they lost

Obviously. It was an idiotic mistake to not do so, and he relied on the refs making the call instead of making the intentional foul 100% clear and wrapping him up. He banked on the refs making a call that it seemed he ran away from initially, and was left out to dry. Idiotic, unfourtantate play, but he has no one to blame but himself.
Oh, and you don't stop playing defense until you hear the whistle. The fact he stopped and watched Melo didn't help.
