ATLANTA HAWKS DESERVE A REPLAY GAME VS CAVS!!!!?

Replay a whole game for one mess up? It was a total screw up because of the refs and the scoreboard, but someone should of stepped up and said something. The Hawks coach started complaining AFTER Cleveland made the basket, but not when it was actually happening. If they were going to say something at all, they should of said it right away. The Cavaliers should not be penalized either by the technical difficulties and have the basket taken away. It sucks and the Hawks were cheated, but you can't really do anything now. If you go back through any game, you'll find missed calls and unfair advantages teams get all the time. @Brandon, stop acting like you can predict the future. It's really annoying. No, you do not know that the finals will be Lakers vs. Magic/Celtics.

Something needs to be done, I agree. Normally I'd just say "The refs screwed up, deal with it.". But in this situation the mistake wasn't made by the refs, it was made by the scoring crew. And the scoring crew is employed and paid by the home team, in this case the Cavs. I don't think the Cavs should be allowed to profit due to a mistake like that made by one of their own employees. Not only is it not fair, but it sends a message to other scoring crews that they can try gamesmanship with the shot clock, because there's really no penalty if they fail. I think the NBA should order the game replayed from the point of the shot-clock screwup, and should assess a technical foul on the Cavs as well.

I AGREE! And who knows it might happen Hawks had to replay the Heat for those final 4th quarter mins a few seasons ago. Mike Woodson said that he has filed a complaint and if enough ppl give this attnetion it will make Stern nervous and he'll have no choice but to replay those secs. I just read that the lead referee had no freakin comment when they asked him about it AND he has a criminal record. So umm yeah why is he a ref for the NBA!?!?!

Now all the Cavaliers fans should see it will be no finals for the cavs. I agree though but its the NBA all you can do is move on. The hawks owned them twice and for some reason they managed to come up a extra point or two. But sorry my friends. There will be no Cleveland cavaliers in the finals. I still say and will always say either: MAGIC VS LAKERS OR LAKERS VS BOSTON. I know lakers will be mixed up in there somewhere..against who i really don't know but theres my picks. I am not a basketball im a football fan :)

eh, the Hawks are gunna make the playoffs anyway and they will be a top 4 seed no matter what, so who cares.

yeah its not fair

<<<Big CLEVELAND fan here (not just the cavs) saying go ahead, replay the 1:30, or the whole game for that matter, or just give the win to Atlanta, because it REALLY WON'T MATTER. Please don't think I mean that in a arrogant cavs fan kind of way...Just think for a minute, how likely is it that THIS ONE game will affect the playoffs? Will it really change Atlanta seeding 3rd vs 4th or 5th? I really doubt it. And people need to stop citing last year's replay as an example. It wasn't a shot clock malfunction. It was a miscount of files against shaq, in which both the refs and the scorers table had time to confer when the clock was stopped before he was ejected. This was one guy making a mistake in the heat of a game. Give them a replay, just so true Cleveland fans such as myself can hear one less LBJ conspiracy theory this season.

Everytime the Cavs win fans want to go ahead and ***** and bring some lame excuses. You guys SUCK for letting Varejao hit a 3. You DON'T deserve to win for that. Why did you guys leave him open ... ? Refs make mistakes, it's normal. Replay the whole game and look at the mistakes the refs make for you guys. If you guys decided to guard Gibson over Varejao, I said you guys didn't deserve to win. Do you know how deep Boobie was? Were you really expecting him to take the shot? I can tell you guys ***** because I've seen people say it was a 2, when clearly, it was a 3.

Doesnt really matter,Cavs arent going anywhere. People are dickriding this overhyped team to much.
