    Does anyone have this "alternate view" that I've been hearing about from the local broadcast that show Adams hand was "nowhere near" the ball? This really, REALLY, hard to believe, yet several people have said it.

    Many, many things went wrong to end regulation, but my god it seems like that should've been our ball. Many of the the other things were our fault, but we need 1 thing to go our way to win. That seems like the play/thing to do it.

    Again, not saying its all on that, but c'mon. Where's that footage? I need to see it. I don't care so much that we lost, its how we lost, and I HATE that that happened.

    Please share.

    Yeah I’d like to see this too. It sure looked like it was off Adams’ fingertips, and he dived after it like he thought so too.

    Downtown Sniper posted this in the Game Thread. Looks pretty clear cut.

    Great angle that we didn't get to see live on TNT.

    Impossible to argue with that.

    Although @jontro's Jedi mind theory warrants investigation by the league office.

    WOW.

    Wtf how did the ball direction change, I swear in the other it looks like it changed as he reached, woah.

    Well, this helps me deal honestly.

    yeah I’m kind of happy to see this, honestly. One less thing to be mad about.

    Exactly.

    Now I just wish 1 of 2 things.

    House doesn't leave his man. House doesn't miss a FT.

    Its not all on him by any means, its on everyone (but Green), but those hurt the most.

    Lol this is funny, not even close from that angle. He clearly didn't touch it, so why was he diving out of bounds to save the ball? Low IQ play from him I guess.

    Wow, that is perplexing...a change of direction is unusual without touching. Okay.

    yeah the ball was clearly deflected, the path of the ball changed after he touched it. That what he deserves for cheating, karma. Got hurt.
