I happened right in front of me, but I honestly couldn't tell what the right call...in a horribly reffed game, I thought it was the right move to go the TVs to figure it out. Was it really so clear that they made the wrong call on this one? If so, that's a travesty. I'm reasonable confident Ryan cou;d have designed a play to either get a basket from Rose or get him to the line for the win.
Far from obvious. I was checked out, didn't pay to close attention to the numerous replays but the commentators seemed to agree the changed call was warranted. But like most Minnesotans, my sure most think they have an agenda towards us.

Hmm.. I thought it was pretty obvious Rudy didn't touch the ball after his hand started sliding out of bounds.
But that doesn't mean this officiating crew was good. That was one of the worst officiated games I have seen in quite some time. There were lots of bad calls both ways, but the Wolves absolutely got the short end of the stick. And it was an ESPN game? What was the NBA thinking?!?
Tim if you go back (ugh I had to cue it up and relive it...lol) and watch...it looks to have brushed Gay's hand while he was out of bounds while the ball is going to the floor before it bounces up and hits Saric in the face. It was not easy to see but you can see Gay's fingers move. They discussed this on ESPN and Burke said Saric was out of bounds also but he had not been out of bounds before Gay hit it. Burke had it wrong and her broadcast partner Ryan Ruocco had it right and it seems like nobody else noticed it. Again they were able to look at this multiple times and plenty of time to get it right. They got it wrong. It just bugs me.
Also I don't think the crew was out to get us. Jon K said in his game story he thought the Spurs were unhappy with the officiating also. There was a tweet that said the game averages a foul called every 53 seconds. Lol
