Bulls are insignificant right now.

[R-V]

Well - the Bulls just got fucked.

I normally don't complain about the officials because they are all so bad it's just
part of the game.  But that was a complete raping.

Wasn't there an angle that showed the ball on his fingertips with the red light on? Also, isn't there some old rule of thumb that you need a minimum 0.4 seconds to catch and shoot? All that being said, those refs were full of piss and tard juice.

On the good news side of the ledger, Joakim is really good at rebounding and shotblocking and defense and basketball stuff. I guess some people will never get past the fact that he is/was a goofy looking pudwhack, but he's turned into a damn good player.

He's a twat and he'll always be a twat.

I thought 0.3 was the number they'd set. I guess I could google it. Nah.

Looks like you're right. From the comments on the Yahoo game recap:

The Trent Tucker rule:

"NO LESS THAN :00.3 must expire on the game clock when a player secures possession of an inbounds pass and then attempts a field goal. If less than :00.3 expires in such a situation, the timer will be instructed to deduct AT LEAST :00.3 from the game clock. If less than :00.3 remain on the game clock when this situation occurs, the period is over, and the field goal attempt will be disallowed immediately whether successful or unsuccessful."

There were .3 seconds left, the minimum allowed time to pull off a shot.

And of course:

Rule 13 Section III - Replay Review Process
- Reviews would be conducted as a crew. The Crew Chief will make the final decision.
- Maximum of two minutes to review the video and make a ruling. Reasonable amount of additional time beyond two minutes for review of Flagrant Fouls/Penalty 2 and Player Altercations.
- Calls made on the court will be overturned only with "clear and conclusive" visual evidence.

It took them ten freaking minutes to review the shot. The rules clearly state that a maximum of only two minutes can be used, except in the cases of flagrant fouls and player altercations.

Eh, those aren't the best angle, since his hand is between the camera and the ball,
it could be all the way touching or 6 inches out.  I mean, put your hand 6 inches
above your mouse and look down, it'll look the same way.  From the side angle it really
looked out to me, and the original call was that it was good.  Even the refs declared
it a judgement call.  Unless there's a rules clause that if it's not definitive then it's no
good, I think it's stupid to over rule the in game call.

Rick Morrissey ate his anti-Jokequeen column with salsa. I understand he's having a good year. That's terrific. I'm really happy for you guys. Because if you're going to root for a complete cocksmoke he might as well at least produce. Enjoy.

While I'll take 20 rebounds from Ronald McDonald. Same time, having a good year is a pretty retarded thing to declare at this point in the season. And yes, I realize that Morrissey made the declaration, not Apex.

I'm glad Fork and Apex are no longer switching to new screen names at 1908.  It's easier to keep track of how many terrible posts they've posted.

Why would you want to keep track of that?

For many of the same reasons I watch the Cubs.

You're compiling a list of them to use in a running feature on your blog that you never intend to finish?

I was on a roll for a while.  Now I'll stop again just to spite myself.
