I think they are wrong but they also say Horford was fouled on the last shot. So yeah, we are not getting this one back. A shame...

Yeah, sorry, but that's not a foul, or at least not one that should've been called. And that's been pretty much unanimously agreed upon across the sports world today.

Keep on protecting your incompetent refs, NBA!  ::)

No, they don't. The play is described as "correct no call".

There was definitely contact but not nearly enough to warrant a foul, as far as I can tell.

If that happens in the Garden, Tommy pulls a gun and shoots the official.

No doubt.

Obviously people here disagree but I thought it was a foul.  In fact, it's pretty obvious it was a foul.  So I have no problems with the call.

And frankly, hitting a shooter's elbow is a more egregious violation than many other plays with much more contact.  It's a no brainer kind of call and not one where you can reasonably expect the shooter to recover from.  I've had my elbow hit on shots and basically, you're pretty much done.

Now one can argue that they shouldn't call it in that instance.  I don't agree, especially for that kind of play, but you can argue it I guess.  Either way, who am I to complain about a correct call.

Sorry...I'm a totally unbiased fan, and that was not a foul.  8)

Keep in mind this was in Chicago where everyone votes three times.

He never touched his elbow. All the replays confirm there was no skin contact. The play was a "guess" that there was contact because it was so close and mostly because they are protecting their star. If that was James Young shooting the ball and Butler was defending would there be a call? I didn't think so.

It's water under the bridge and we should have played better and some of our guys like "Kelly" should have hit his free throws. 50% is not acceptable.

Next time we play them we kill them.
