The "oops, our bad" thing in refereeing is getting really old. They know they got it wrong, but they are powerless to fix it?
Never mind the main question: HOW ON EARTH DO THEY MISS THAT CALL TO BEGIN WITH?
There are 3 refs and 10 (errr 11
) players on the court. You have a bunch of guys jumping up and down like looney birds screaming that there are too many guys on the floor. How do you miss that call?
It's not like it was even a judgment call, like with a charge vs a block. It's black and white. There are either the right amount of guys, or the wrong amount of guys on the court.
I don't know that it costs the C's the game (I tend to attribute that more to the Blazers beating the Celts to the ball time after time), but it was an inexcusable blown call.

On a completely different note: Travis Outlaw keeps moving up my favorite non-Celtic list. I just love the way he plays. That was a hell of a drive he made at the end of the game.
