Bench
what's their salary? how about $50,000 for a bad call?
if they should apologize to Jon Barry and Rockets for the mistake they made in game5?
or they just rotate regularly and officiate other games without any penalty?

It's amazing to see Rockets missed so many FTs in the 4th quater, as far as I notice (from TV) there seem some camera equipped with super-power flashing held by MC's employee....... Yao and Tmac couldn't look at the basket while they're shooting

Okay, let's get something straight. I didn't watch the game...

You're saying someone with a strong flash was sitting directly in line of the Rockets when they shot free-throws?

IF - and that is a tremendously big IF - something like that happened and could be traced to Mark Cuban, it could be disasterous for the future of the Dallas franchise. That would be over the line.

Photographers are warned and actually have to sign agreements whereby they acknowledge the ban on flash shots that could in any way impede the flow or progress of the game. If that actually happened, I will be following this VERY carefully.

Was this the work of a lone cameraman, or were there multiple camera shooters involved? And if there were multiple shooters involved, was one of them taking his shot from behind the grassy knoll, perhaps?

Congratulations! You are the newest member of the IMVF21SOHK club!

Terribly incorrect comments, my friend, but dastardly and clever at the same time.

Props...
 
I think it's really interesting to see the evolution of ways to distract free throw shooters.

Pictures of women in bikinis, counting the dribbles, total silence....
 
actually, a lot of things, MC sponsored some research on that

including:
using special light beam with specific wavelength, together along with glass board made of special polymer which can absorb the light and diffract it into the player in the free throw line;

hiring aerodynamicists to design special ventilation system to control the field goal percentage;

he tried everything he could to get mavs into the second round

Including moonlighting at the local Dairy Queen to learn how to make
the Mavs favorite frozen treats.;) :D

I was watching the game and that was an awful call. There was no way in hell even before the replay that Finley could've anywhere BUT out of bounds since Barry was right on the line. It was terrible. It cost them 2 points and momentum. Did it lose the game for them??? No I don't think so. It was terrible officiating the whole game against Houston. Van Gundy may have right!!:D And the missed free throws that lost this game for them. Not that one call.

I certainly can't stand Mark Cuban but how do know for certain that this person with the big flash was MC's employee? I am curious to know.
