Exactly. For anyone whose played sports, they know what losing does to you. Losing every single night has to suck for these young players. To lose like THAT has to be just sickening. I don't think the Kings will ever get that fair shake from the officials though. We are just gonna have to beat the odds and fight through it like we did in 2002, hopefully we can do just a little better however.
Participating on a sports message board is ALL ABOUT getting mad and stressing out and venting with fellow fans. And don't be too sure about it not changing anything. Fan feedback is important; and we're definitely talking about passionate fans here.
I'm willing to bet that this game is played over and over and could even possibly be used as a reason to implement a review of 24-second violation no-calls in the final two minutes of games or something similar.

I didnt see the play, hopefully they'll show it on sports center or something .. HOWEVER ..
Big picture here, We solidify the worst record in the league ( probly would have had it anyways ) AND the Spurs get a game on houston, getting us a better pick with the second first rounder ... remember this game if someone slides and we get him 1 pick before the spurs or some team .. think when bayless almost fell to us .. 1 or 2 spots in a draft can be huge.

Oh I'm sure it was written the way it was to prevent there from being a dozen stoppages of play a game every time a shot went up against the shot clock. Maybe they should have a little red rim around the shot clock that lights up when it goes out the same way the backboard does at the end of quarters. Be an extra visual clue for he refs, and should not matter for the players since it would only come on when time had expired anyway.
Well that really stunk. I mean it was such an obvious shot clock violation. It's not like it was even close and three refs didn't see it? That really stinks for our poor beleaguered team. To play a decent last home game, but lose because of sheer incompetence. If whether its a 2 or 3 point basket can be reviewed (only a 1 point difference), then certainly, they should be able to review a shot clock violation which leads to a bigger point differential if called wrong (2 or 3 points). That just sucked.
It was only a few years ago that the NBA went from 2 refs to 3. What does it prove except that old saying about "3 blind mice"
Gotta love this quote by Finley..

Gag me.
Of course they'll take it.
I have absolutely no problem saying that the NBA has the hands-down worst referees in sports. Period. No other league has such mediocre people deciding outcomes of games.

You can see and hear that the buzzer went off late. That's on Sacramento's equipment. You can't look at the hands and the clock at the same time.

And that is why there are 3 refs. Listen, they know the situation. They know the importance of the moment, intensity of the crowd and players... they could probably hear some people even counting down.. There is no excuse for such crappy officiating. Especially from the "veteran" refs (i.e. danny crawford)
