Difficult calls for Utah Jazz fans to live with. Everyone knows that MJ pushed off on Bryon Russell on the go ahead shot in Game Six, and while it would have been very difficult for a ref to make the call against the premier player in the league there were two calls earlier in the game that may have changed the outcome of the game and given Jazz fans a Dick Bavetta complex.

Play one: Howard Eisley's three is taken away due to a called 24 second violation with the Jazz up 4 with approxiamately 9:50 to play in the second quarter.

Play two: Ron Harper hits a 2 point field goal as the shot clock expires to tie the game at 79 with 4:00 to play in the fourth quarter.

Refs were not allowed to review the video for shot clock violations in 1998, and if they could have the Jazz certainly would have been awarded Eisley's three in the 2nd and Harper would not have been awarded 2 points in the 4th.

The fact that the ball was 5 feet out of Eisley's hand with 1 second left on the clock leads some to wonder...

Game Seven would have been played in Utah, Scottie Pippen still would not have been one hundred percent, and the Jazz would have had all the momentum after winning two in a row to even the series at three a piece.

Michael Jordan clearly outplayed the Jazz in the final minute of the game, but it should have never come to that. So says a still bitter Jazz fan..flame away :).

Sorry for the Spanish play by play it was all I could find.

    the Harper call is a complete toss-up, but it had to go somewhere. but i distinctly remember being a 7 year old Bulls fan watching the Eisley call live on TV and having no idea what the call was for like 30 seconds because shot clock violation didn't even come to mind. then shortly later being upset because the refs weren't using instant replay even though IT'S PLAYING ON A 40 FOOT HIGH SCREEN, DICK, JUST LOOK UP

    EXACTLY. In that time Jordan didn't utilize the crossover very often, as you can see if you watched the full game Jordan mostly took someone and faded back, that was his signature move throughout this series. He was preparing for Jordan to take him all the way right and fade back, but Jordan caught him way out of position as you said and came back left and made a ton of space for the shot. If he would have pushed him off that hard to make him fall, then his arm would have extended..

    Harper just made it, it was just in time, and the Eisley one was a wrong call which 3 more points should be restored to the Jazz. But if you watched the whole game, you will see a number of tough calls on the bulls and not called on the Jazz (e.g. Malone's travelling violation and offensive foul by knocking Rodman off etc.), and the Jazz scored a few baskets subsequently, which should also have been waived off. These would even the issue.

    Even Russel HIMSELF said Jordan didn't push off and cause the slip up, MJ crossed Russel like a bitch. If you study the whole sequence you can clearly see there is NOWHERE NEAR enough force from Jordan's left hand to cause Russel to spill over like that.

    As a jazz fan, I don't suspect any foul play. But those were 2 bad calls on the shot clock. Too bad instant replay wasn't able to be used to correct those calls.

    Why on this video are people still talking about the "push off"? This has nothing to do with it. I am a die hard Jazz fan and I don't think it was a push off. Everyone talks about the push off but no one ever talks about these two terrible calls. Eisley's three is pretty early in the game, but it is safe to say that Harper's two that was allowed in the fourth changed the aspect of the game. Jordan is still a better player, but Jazz haters need to get over sucking Jordan's dick.
