In the past 3 months I've seen "Teo's Fake Girlfriend" and "Rex Ryan's Tattoo" as breaking news on ESPN. I think a 23 game winning streak meets those standards.

The footage doesn't come close as tebow
my God, I've never changed the channel so fast.

I love Kanter. Can't believe people are calling him a bust. He just hasn't gotten an opportunity.

Literally seconds before this Kosta Koufos tipped in a missed basket that was actually on the rim that not only counted, but the refs didn't even bother to look at when the Bulls contested it. This one they called it good, looked at it and made their decision apparently before they even looked at all the angles and overturned the call on the court when the ball was clearly outside of the cylinder.

That was fun and I would think a majority of Celtics fans would agree. Terry has been awful this year all year long.

I also loved the Bradley chasedown block.

They missed the Koufos tip-in but the Noah play was clearly basket interference. The ball was on its way down and still had a chance at hitting the rim. If the defensive player can't go up and touch the ball then how can Noah be allowed to.

So then by that logic alley oops should be basket interference no? The ball was outside of the cylinder, it was falling short of the rim until Noah touched it.

Yeah rules do have that being the right call with Noah. Larger issue was the lack of consistency in officiating, clear calls not being made on BOTH teams down the stretch ... Tough finish. I'ma need some warm milk tonight.

I'm confused as to why they didn't review it?

[skywalkah]

They did review it. Bulls say they didn't call it live but the refs said initial call was made and call was goaltending.

@KCJHoop: Here is crux of Bulls'beef: Thibodeau claims refs didn't call goaltend on Noah. "At timeout, they decided they were going to review."

Hence the Koufos issue.

Glad that I missed the first 5 minutes of the game, considering the last 25 secs of the Heat/Celtics took like 20 minutes...

It was on ESPN2 until the Heat-Celtics game was over.

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Thibs said refs didn't review the Koufos play because they didn't call it. Therefore he was told it couldn't be reviewed.

What the hell kind of sense does that make?

If you pause the video right before Noah touches the ball you can tell that it was going to hit the rim. So, by rule, that is the right call.

It was? Damn. I must've missed when they said it was on ESPN2.
