Gasol goaltending ? 2 game in the NBA finals 2009

[leonthekill]

i love how the commentator all bullshit but the nba officials do nothing

[Wafflehunter321]

keep pressing 7

[ANTBOND004]

sounded like someone was fuckin the ref in the ass while he blowed the whiste

[playcube006]

pause at :31

[trixer4]

ehh didnt effect the ball and besides the play happened real fast

[PhoenixNuke]

It didnt make the rim vibrate at all, he only stuck his fingers inside for like a split second and got them out before the ball fell.

[Gmanvn]

pause at 0:37 LOL

[Lakers24pwnz]

dwight howard got away with a more obvious goaltend earlier in the game also

[mrjsw13]

well this makes up for the howard missed call goaltending right? the game deserved to go to overtime

[LostOwns]

Are you guys srsly that blind? Gasol doesnt have to touch the ball for it to be goaltending, take a close look at backboard and yellow post it MOVES when gasol hits the rim, TAKE A REAL CLOSE LOOK, that means its a goaltend because gasol is altering the shot causing an unatural bounce, so im not saying the shot was goin in for sure BUT the fact that gasol moved the rim the SHOT COUNTS

[inular]

yeh he didnt even touch the ball how would that be goaltending?

[Azntaco3]

how is this goaltending. gasol didnt' affect the ball or shot in n e way...

[cart88]

LOL typical laker haters, when they're losing its fine the NBAs perfect, all of a sudden the Lakers win a final series and the NBA is fixed all over again. Was it fixed when LA lost to Boston? no, was it fixed when LA lost to detriot in 03/04? no. But now its fixed because the lakers actually won. Please please find another excuse.

[zofspade]

@cart88 LOL typical fan of a sports team.

[MattMisGOD]

No.

That's not the problem!

THEY DID REVIEW IT, AND STILL DID NOTHING ABOUT IT!

I remember watching the damn game, and was SO pissed that they let it slide. At that moment, I knew it was another series where Stern made sure the Lakers won since they can't fucking do it themselves.

[gentelmas]

i love the gasol's face jajaja

[jayboy12398]

the nba once agin lets the lakers off the hook, they let bryant get away with an elbow now this, y didn't the refs review this , it's completely pathetic how the magic got screwed and not even an apology from the nba what a joke, the nba where FIXED happens

[sugarxsim]

shut it. in the beginning of the game dwight howard goaltended MAJORLY and the refs didnt say squat. so just shut up if you dont know anything.

[SilentSnipaZ80]

it doosent effect the shot at all not goaltending

[zofspade]

@SilentSnipaZ80 Wrong, that's not the definition of goal tending.

[Theshiii6]

@SilentSnipaZ80 your a tool, learn the rules before you talk shit.

[SilentSnipaZ80]

@Theshiii6 how was i talking shit?  I just stated what I thought...

[nixdaduda11]

@SilentSnipaZ80 read the rule book idiot!

[EphemeralTheory]

@SilentSnipaZ80 go and fucking read the basketball rules

[MrHedo15]

@SilentSnipaZ80 if they touch the rim are anything its goaltending

[PokerbmwCom]

nba is rigged...

they did that in 2002 vs sac.

now they're doing it again..

they should allow challenges from coaches like in NFL or in tennis...

[brendandugan]

Phil agrees it was goaltending. Dwight was not called for goaltending. It is the NBA FINALS! they are not gonna call this little crap. The Magic are not whining about it, they are just playing, Laker fans are so desperate to try and say it wasn't goaltending because they know they should be down 2-1. This series is going 7 and I love it because it is great basketball. Stop being emotionally involved and be entertained. This is great stuff!

[Falconetti]

Poetic justice

[greeztheweez]

Clearly goaltending, you cant hit the rim while the ball hitting the backboard. He hits the rim right before its on the backboard and pushs the rim up moving the backboard causing it to effect the shot. Bad missed call! Game 2 belongs to magic no doubt!!!

[skippyskiptomylu]

@greeztheweez 

QQ

[backseatdog]

nice ending.

[1sgredmond]

A better example of a goaltend would be Howard's "block" of Gasol's dunk in which he stuck his hand up through the rim to deflect it. In this case, Lee's shot was unaffected.

[ramanauskazz]

yeah but it wasnt in the end of the game.. both goaltending calls which were missed

[elp05tlc]

clearly no goaltending
