BEERTIME... we've been ROBBED!

[Randercity]

I HATE bullshit like this... first, UTAH turns the ball over with less than five seconds, and then the guy FOULS McGrady with UTAH up 3, and covering the FH line. McGrady hits em both of course, then, we get the ball out to Stockton who fires downcourt for a layup at the buzzer, crowd goes crazy, BUT, the ref comes in and waves it off!

Replay showed it had left his hands before the red lite went off.... lose by a hook due to a B.S. Play, then a B.S. call.

I watched this game and have NO IDEA what you saw at the end or how it affected the outcome. What were you playing and better yet, did we see the same game? I had the under

but had Utah too

THISclose... did you see the END of the first half??? NOTICE the time of my original post, that should clear it up for you. UTAH leading by 3, near the end of first half... turnover by UTAH, then a stupid foul with under 3 seconds to go. Two FT's made by ORL, long pass, shot goes in, YES!, but the refs called it off. FIRST HALF line was -1.5, and UTAH leads 45-44. That's what I'm talking about. The basket at the buzzer they over-ruled. Cost us the cover... we actually won, but the REFS stole it from us.

To make matters worse, I had TENN tonite too! TEASED TENN and the OVER, so that little call at the end cost me big time also. Instead of winning about 3 units on the game, I lose money!

All said and done on the nite, I ended up down 1 unit plus juice EXACTLY... just what I played on the UTAH first half... how ironic again!

that sucks indeed.

i saw the espn2 ticker read 47-44 like three times last night.

that would have helped considering i was dead wrong on the other game.

Rander,
Gotcha! I never even thought about half time(nor did I see it). I just kept looking at your post and thinking "wtf"?! If it makes you feel any better(I know it doesn't)I lost my ass on the under for the game. I had the Titans SU-teased too(go check thread "this ones for you Jack", or something like that). I'm not sure what you define a "unit" as, but suffice it to say I lost MANY units on both

The "swing" is absolutely awful to even think about. One sick pup here today

I saw the same ticker score on ESPN2 and chalked it up as a win. Until I read this thread. How can they butcher a halftime score? Wait a couple of minutes and get it right! Finding out how it lost just adds to the whole thing. Oh well, a new day.

Not that it matters, they did call it off right away. They did post the 47-44, but then pulled it down. ESPN and others are just slow, or AP screwed up. I wasn't actually watching the game, I was listening in and the announcers / crowd went nuts when they showed the replay. They said it was OBVIOUS! BUT, the basket had already been pulled, and the refs don't get the benefit of instant replay. Oh well... as stated, today's a new day.

Still kinda sucks to have it happen twice in one nite...
