A held ball. You know, when two opposing players both grab the ball at the same time.

Ok, I set my self up for that one. What I should have said was; what caused them to do another tip-off with 4:26 seconds left in the 4th quater. It didnt even take place in the center circle.

It was a held ball that was nearer to the FT circle than the center circle. You jump it in the closest circle.

Lots of things, both good and bad, that you can learn from the NBA. You just have to have the discernment to know the difference.

I didn't start watching until the 2nd qtr. Who got pinned, for what, and by whom?

On another note, I can't believe that there are people out there that are actually disgusted with the officiating in this series. Mike and Mike (ESPN Radio) this morning were talking about how there are players, coaches, columnists, etc. that are upset that the crews are supposedly calling a tighter game in SA (favoring the Spurs) and a looser game in Detroit (favoring the Pistons). I'm sorry, but when the avg. margin of victory is 16 points, the officials should be the last excuse made by the losing team, fans, columnists, and the like.

Eddie Rush popped Popovich in the 1st quarter when he popped off the bench and popped off at him.
