    Your missing that there is zero chance that they just up and give us a win...
    So yes that is why a replay of the game would happen... to determine what would have happened from that point on ??
    You seem confused?

    I will ask NBA officials to investigate whether they play fake game to get lottery as they can beat Clippers

    So if we won that game and the Spurs tried to protest that Harden dunk, how would they argue that they were disadvantaged?

    No, because whether the basket counted or not, the Spurs took possession of the ball.
    You want to say maybe the Spurs would have played differently if they were losing by two extra points: I don't think it's a practical consideration.

    They couldn't, at least not immediately disadvantaged on the scoreboard. Is that part necessary for the protest? They can't just say "Hey, you guys screwed this up, and that makes the rest of the game invalid and it should be redone"?

    By your logic, every missed call requires a game to be replayed. It's not practical. It can't be enacted.

    Except this wasnt a missed call.

    It was a missed field goal.

    :cool:

    Not at all. This wasn't a mere missed call. It was a missed score. If we are including missed calls in this, then the Spurs could argue that the missed violations that gave the Rockets 4 extra points offsets the missed score on the dunk.

    So you are interested in missed scores but not all missed calls.
    And you say a game is invalidated by a missed score but not a missed call. I think that doesn't make sense.
    Remember, we can't guess what alternate universe would have existed if the missed call were not missed, same as the missed score.
    Why don't you care about the alternate universes of all corrected calls?
    I don't think you have a philosophical or practical argument here.

    i cannot comprehend how the officials did not already have clear confirmation from secaucus that the shot was good. they are getting fed guidance in those earpieces throughout the game

    It's not that I don't care. But, practically speaking, one can't go back and change every bad call. They are too frequent. So, one must be selective on the types of officiating mistakes that can trigger a do-over. Most of us are agreed that the blunder of not recognizing a made basket was in fact a made basket should count among those mistakes.

    I agree one must be selective and practical. That's why I say, the Spurs took possession of the ball either way, end of story. The Spurs' score was not affected. The Rockets' score was.

    Who protests to the league about something that helped them or gave them an advantage? Where do they do that at? The Spurs would have no grounds for a protest. This must be some new age trolling.

    Remember when @durvasa was an intelligent poster? Not the ultimate contrarian for the sake of being a contrarian guy.

    OK, another question. What if this missed dunk call happened in the first quarter instead of the fourth. Should the Rockets still be allowed to protest if the game goes to overtime? If not, what is the cutoff point?

    My answer is who cares. All these irrelevant tangents are meaningless. Let’s deal with what actually happened. What the refs did last night is inexcusable, period.

    No reason to take offense over the questions posed here or make bad faith accusations. I’m not arguing that the Rockets don’t have a legitimate reason to want a review here. This is something for which there doesn’t appear to be clear cut guidelines.

    If the NBA comes back and says they won’t allow a do-over because it did not immediately result in a loss (given the time remaining), then that question is in fact very relevant.
