Another point to make about this game was that the refereeing was really terrible. Any game that long is bound to have some missed calls, but these guys were sucking all night long. Both teams had some very bad ones go against them. One really egregious call that benefited the Pistons was a ridiculous flop by Rip to draw Marbury's 6th foul in one of the overtimes.

Old Skool HQ had the best reference of the night in chat, saying "Mendy Rudolph is rolling over in his grave." Now that's old-skool!
