Talk about Phantom Fouls, worst call EVER.

[herkulease]

Dunno if anyone seen this yet, but it has got to be the worst call EVER.

Arenas releases the ball after the lights and buzzer goes off but the refs call a foul claiming there was .1 second left when foul occured. Nellie argues the call gets Technical. Arenas hits 3 fts and wizards win. Score was 106 to 104.

check out the photo evidence.

the description reads the Jrich fouled Arenas. Amazing isn't it? Jrich's hands are at his waist.

from Cbs sportsline

With Washington trailing 106-104 with 2.9 seconds to go, Arenas caught an inbounds pass near the top of the key and drove to the basket. The horn sounded before Arenas released a shot, but the officials ruled that Golden State's Andris Biedrins fouled Arenas with time left on the clock.

Beindrins isn't even on the court.

With Washington trailing 106-104 with 2.9 seconds to go, Arenas caught an inbounds pass near the top of the key and drove to the basket. The horn sounded before Arenas released a shot, but the officials ruled that Golden State's Mickael Pietrus fouled Arenas with time left on the clock.

Amazing how in 0.1 second pietrus is able to swipe Arenas arm and get his own arms up in the air.

Agreed; what a bullshit ending. Refs need to hold their tongues when the game is ending.

i just watched it in live action. it was DEFINITELY a foul.

a) jason richardson should have been called for a blocking foul, he walked in front of arenas and his feet weren't set, tripping arenas off balance.

b) that other guy, came in from behind and crashed into arenas in midair and could easily have been called for a foul as well.

c) nelson is an idiot for allowing his team to lose with a T and the extra free throw.

and for the record i couldnt' give a crap about either the warrior or the wizards, i just calls em like i sees em.
