- 1:06Speaker 6: leaves his feet. There's contact on Tim Hardaway's jump shot.
- 1:10Speaker 6: You know, I don't know any other way around it.
- 1:12Speaker 6: There's contact on his jump shot. The guy leaves his feet,
- 1:15Speaker 6: he's at Timmy's mercy, and I repeat, there's contact on
- 1:18Speaker 6: his jump shot.
- 1:19Speaker 4: Why is it so hard to finish in the playoffs?
- 1:22Speaker 6: I mean again, they do let you play more physical. Well,
- 1:25Speaker 6: some people get to play more physical. I'll say that.
- 1:27Speaker 6: You know there is more grabbing, holding and all that,
- 1:29Speaker 6: and again we are fine with that, right. We like
- 1:31Speaker 6: to play physical. We like that style of basketball. You
- 1:34Speaker 6: know you won't hear us whining about it, but you know, again,
- 1:38Speaker 6: there is just more contact that's allowed.
- 1:40Speaker 2: You're deal of it.
- 1:41Speaker 4: View what going back to ask the square guard?
- 1:48Speaker 2: Happy?
- 1:48Speaker 1: We gotta win?
- 1:50Speaker 2: You like that answer?
- 1:51Speaker 1: Is that good? Nix will go home and try to
- 1:55Speaker 1: close it out on Tuesday. Meantime, Crew Chief David Cuthroom
- 2:00Speaker 1: is during life play, it was judged that Josh Hart
- 2:03Speaker 1: made a legal defensive play. After postgame review, we observed
- 2:07Speaker 1: that Heart makes body contact that is more than marginal
- 2:10Speaker 1: to Hardaway Junior and a foul should.
- 2:13Speaker 4: Have been called.
- 2:15Speaker 1: No again, we uh, this will take a look.
- 2:19Speaker 4: They just blew it.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Playing a simple note, nothing to think about.
- 2:22Speaker 4: They just blew it.
- 2:23Speaker 2: My question to you, Ernie, Yes, hypothetical. Yeah, if the
- 2:28Speaker 2: pisses had a had a challenge, did that play challengeable?
- 2:31Speaker 4: No, there wasn't a whistle. Okay, good car. I just
- 2:34Speaker 4: that's why I'm asking. Well, that's my thing.
- 2:37Speaker 5: I have a question for both of you and Shack,
- 2:39Speaker 5: because I know both of you guys do not like
- 2:41Speaker 5: the fact that the NBA comes out and does that
- 2:45Speaker 5: roaster officials.
- 2:46Speaker 4: No, I was just okay, this play happens.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Yeah, there's and and there's no memo from the NBA.
- 2:54Speaker 4: What would you What would you like the NBA to do? Nothing?
- 2:57Speaker 3: Something that can be What would you just let No,
- 3:01Speaker 3: I'm just saying, what like it? So games over? It
- 3:04Speaker 3: don't matter what you say games over? No, you wouldn't
- 3:06Speaker 3: want anything to say the game is over.
- 3:08Speaker 5: So you don't think that if we were sitting here
- 3:10Speaker 5: and there was nothing that said that, we would be
- 3:12Speaker 5: challenging it and we were like, what does the league
- 3:14Speaker 5: say about this?
- 3:15Speaker 2: Then well they said it and they said, you know what.
- 3:17Speaker 4: I'm saying, what would you like to happen if they don't.
- 3:19Speaker 2: I don't think there nothing because all you did was
- 3:23Speaker 2: hang your reps out to dry.
- 3:25Speaker 4: That's all you did.
- 3:26Speaker 2: But I'm saying, so you would like nothing to be
- 3:28Speaker 2: said no matter what happened, Well you could just say,
- 3:31Speaker 2: uh not really that what is the purpose of what
- 3:35Speaker 2: they put out?
- 3:36Speaker 4: I know I'm not saying that.
- 3:37Speaker 2: No no, no, no no, I'm just asking you a question.
- 3:39Speaker 5: Well, what from me, I think is because if the
- 3:43Speaker 5: play was the other way, we're going to hear what
- 3:46Speaker 5: the league thinks. So if they would say, no, he
- 3:49Speaker 5: actually did not get fouled because Tim Hardaway jumped into him.
- 3:53Speaker 5: And the rule is because they are rules that change
- 3:55Speaker 5: all the time. The rule is when I remember when
- 3:57Speaker 5: Regie Miller used to didn't get called for a file
- 4:00Speaker 5: kicking his leg, the new rule now states and Reggie
- 4:03Speaker 5: puts his leg out. So all of a sudden, you
- 4:06Speaker 5: have these clarity, But what would you like to have?
- 4:09Speaker 5: And since that's so controversial, is this because nothing?
- 4:15Speaker 4: Don't just be quiet. All that statement did was piss
- 4:17Speaker 4: off the.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Part I'm not disagreeing with. That's all I need to know.
- 4:20Speaker 5: What would you You know what I'd like to see?
- 4:23Speaker 5: We know what I'd like to see.
- 4:24Speaker 1: I would like to see another voice coming out of
- 4:27Speaker 1: Secaucus that says, hey, that's a game deciding play and
- 4:32Speaker 1: I've looked at.
- 4:33Speaker 4: It and it's a foul. That's what they did.
- 4:35Speaker 1: Huh, after the game I'm saying that. I'm saying. I'm
- 4:38Speaker 1: saying after it happens. Before you say this game is over,
- 4:42Speaker 1: you say hey, hey, hey, you know you've got somebody
- 4:44Speaker 1: else who is sitting there in New York who says, hey,
- 4:47Speaker 1: this is this game. This game can't end this way.
- 4:51Speaker 1: There was contact, there was a foul. Let's pick it
- 4:54Speaker 1: up right there.
- 4:55Speaker 5: If there's no whistle, how can you make that the
- 4:59Speaker 5: same thing, because because that's wait, that's where your voice
- 5:03Speaker 5: I know actually golden at the last shot.
- 5:05Speaker 4: So it doesn't yet.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Well fine, wow, I would like I would call him
- 5:09Speaker 1: an eye in the sky, call him whatever you want.
- 5:12Speaker 1: I want somebody to say, you know what, The game
- 5:14Speaker 1: can end like that and.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Most and it's very rare that one play decides doubles
- 5:23Speaker 2: in l's that play decided.
- 5:26Speaker 4: W isn't ls like.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Like I say, a turnover, Oh yo, no, he didn't
- 5:30Speaker 2: mean to turn that ball over or a misfree throw.
- 5:33Speaker 2: That stuff happened.
- 5:34Speaker 4: How far do you go with it?
- 5:35Speaker 5: So if a guy stepped out of bounds as he
- 5:37Speaker 5: was driving. No, you know what, like the other night.
- 5:40Speaker 1: If it's a game, if it is a game deciding play,
- 5:45Speaker 1: it should last seconds.
- 5:46Speaker 4: I think you. I think you've got to get that right.
- 5:50Speaker 1: You can't come out after the game if we screwed
- 5:53Speaker 1: that up.
- 5:54Speaker 2: When it decides the game. It can't decide the game.
- 5:58Speaker 2: A mistake can never decide the.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Game, only that chug.
- 6:00Speaker 3: It might decide the whole series.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Well, we decided the whole serieside likely, Hey.
- 6:07Speaker 4: Listen to two.
- 6:08Speaker 2: It's totally different than three one.
- 6:10Speaker 5: I think I think, just my opinion, I would think
- 6:12Speaker 5: that if a whistle.
- 6:14Speaker 4: Was blown, then the eye in the sky.
- 6:17Speaker 5: But the eye and the sky coming back from where
- 6:19Speaker 5: this is eight hundred and twenty games around the league,
- 6:22Speaker 5: throughout the regular season, playoffs. I think it's just too
- 6:24Speaker 5: much to ask for. That would just be me. I
- 6:28Speaker 5: just think you gotta get it right, get it right,
