    Baron got robbed!
    This is proof right here the Nba needs some sort of instant replay rule.

    Those refs should be reprimanded everytime they screw up!

    I think in the espn.com wrapup, the official was quoted as saying, no way you get a inbound, and shoot in the time left in the game. Weird that the home team didn't cook the clock, like they usually do in the NBA.

    Basically the ref waived the shot off before Davis released it...in his opinion, 0.7 was not enough to catch and shoot even though slow motion freeze frame replays show the shot was good. His written explanation shown on Inside the NBA paraphrased: "I could probably be wrong". He wrote something like in ref school they're taught not to go by the clock in that situation (some clocks are fast, others are slow) but go by instinct.

    Probably be wrong? That's funny cause Stu Jackson or whoever the head of officiating already released a statement saying it was a blown call. Another thing, when Armstrong slipped on the court, wasn't that traveling? The Inside guys think so. That's two critical calls that went against Charlotte.
