OK, first of all I'm on Tivo so I apologize for the delay, but WTH - inadvertant whistle...so we have a jump ball when it was our ball to begin with??? Sorry, but there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for that. I'm not going to say that that cost us the game, but it sure was a huge play. The next play with the call against Berry was even more ridiculous, Berry was better set than a collection of baseball cards. Dang, I'm furious!! This should have been our game! Another one slips away!
I usually get frustrated at calls like that and at late whistles, but honestly, I'd rather them get it right and have charity, or worse, go against us. If it had not been called a jump ball, and play would have continued, we wouldn't have had the possession anyway after Dirk slapped it away. And as for the inadvertant part, what do you want? A foul? That was clearly all ball. I'm a die hard Rockets fan, but don't cheat the game!
So you are ok with the Mavs parading to the line with the slightest contact, only for them to reverse one of the few calls that they give us? The refs were obviously calling it very tight, and they changed their mind on a foul call. How often does that happen? They can reverse it all they want if they do it for both teams, but you know that aint happening.
