I have a beef with a final score of the Miami Game....

[-Slim-]

look at this... play by play, maybe someone else noticed this...

(0:21) [MIA 83-94] E. Jones Free Throw 2 of 2 (15 PTS)
(0:00) End Period


with a a minute and change, Wade made a layup that made the score 94-82 and then Eddie Jones hit both free throws which would make it 94-84. I was watching the game, when Wade missed the FT after he got fouled, they put the scoreat 94-81. Am I crazy or did anyone else see this?????

 

i did not see it,i just checked espn play by play and they show 94-81 and then eddie jones makes 2 free throws to make it 94-83 and there is no more scoring

i know espn is wrong a lot

 

[-Slim-]

Hmmmm...I dunno bro, I know I turned around and watched the last 2 mins and thats what the tv showed....the play by play is from www.nba.com so I dont know.......

I know what I saw, perhaps the tv had the wrong score for a while, not sure though, lol

I think they changed a Rasual Butler 3 to a 2, confusing the play-by-play tickers. The 94-80 score timestamped at 2:05 was probably supposed to be 94-79. If you look at the box score, Rasual Butler isn't credited with any 3's.

I wasn`t sure why though a point seemed to be taken away from Miami...I had just flipped it back when I noticed this...I believe it was after free throws....I will take a look at what Slim wrote, I personally noticed the score seemed wrong after two free throws...as far as I can remember

The Butler shot at 2:47 confused nba.com. I remember the shot -- it was borderline. Probably scored a 3 at first and then later changed to a 2 during a stoppage of play.

What a story it would be for the NBA to have and change the final score of a game that lands on or about the game spread. That would make for some serious entertainment.

 

[Fishhead]

Do any of you recall about 25+ years ago when they brought some player out of the locker room 5+ miniutes after the game was over to shoot a free throw????

He had a towell over his shoulder has he shot the free throw as I recall..........and I know it had a bearing somehow on the pointspread also.

General..

We would be breaking new ground..That would take us where no books have gone before..

It has happened before.

 

[Fishhead]

I dont recall the EXACT game, but I remember having this happen probably around 15 years ago or so...........and it did indeed affect the total or the pointspread.

Maybe somebody here remembers.

Also, I know somebody here recalls what I mentioned about the free throw in the post I made above.

Somehow, I wanna say it involved the Knicks.

 

[postaldoug]

Glad i'm not involved in this.

The score always effects someone with alternate lines. pools, etc.

Don't know if this is the reference in question, but I remember a game in which George McGinnis was brought back to shoot 3 free throws (back in the 3 to make 2 days). He bricked all 3. Don't recall any other specifics.
