One more time fellas...Miami gets another call their way.

ATLANTA (AP) -- For the first time since 1982, the NBA is sending two teams back to the court for a do-over.
The Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat must replay the final 51.9 seconds of their game last month because the official scorer ruled incorrectly that Shaquille O'Neal fouled out, the league said Friday.


For first time since '82, NBA upholds protest requiring replay - NBA - Yahoo! Sports

I like it when they try and make it right. Great Shaq won't be there to play after all.

You would think the Heat would have want to have left it alone. The more losses they have the greater the chance of them getting Beasley in the draft.

51.9 seconds? This is a joke right?

Re: One more time fellas...Miami gets another call their way.

I guess that was the time left when Shaq committed his 5th foul, which they wrongly counted as his 6th.

Re: One more time fellas...Miami gets another call their way.

Said Haslem: "I'm not the kind of guy who likes to argue or cry over spilled milk, but we've got a second chance so we'll try to make the best of it."

Is it my imagination, or was Udonis's quote totally whack? In this analogy, what is the spilled milk?

Is he saying that the initial misruling = spilled milk

He isn't the type of guy that argues or cries over it, so he remained silent.

And now, the milk has been put back into the vessell from which it spilled, so he will try his best to drink it?


Replaying 51 seconds is totally absurd. It totally punishes the team that played their bench to give their starters extra energy at the end. It would be like taking a horse race and replaying the final 100 yards by putting all the horses in the positions where they were.

Yeah, they should put all the guys on the treadmill prior to the 51 seconds being played according to their minutes spent on the floor in the original game to make it fair.

Or how about this. Wouldn't it make more sense to play the make-up game directly after their next game? Then they will be about as exhausted as they initially were.
