Maybe the NBA should slow down
All this talk of the game having changed to a more offensive style seems to have outpaced the statisticians.
Both the league and the Hawks have apologized yet the stat (a missing field goal by TJ Ford) has simply disappeared. If that is the case one would expect a new system to be implanted soon (throwing of the red flag from the sidelines...???). It's not like the technology doesn't exist to avoid such situations in the future (hell, it doesn't even have to be wireless if you're courtside...).
This was a close game no matter how you look at it the two teams were tied 5 times and the lead changed hands five times as well. The last play of the game had a discouraged Raptors team two posessions down (4pts) letting the clock run out...
Until then the conspiracy theories will continue.

must be caught before the end of the game
