Dick Bavetta

[Getting Traded]

There is so much wrong with this thread that it's mind boggling. Even if you are right (and I don't think there's anything near clear evidence that you are) it's time to move on, EM. How could you possibly be delusional enough to believe that writing a letter to Bavetta would result in some new resolution to this matter? Unbelievable.

I don't expect anything. Just wondering what he would say, if he did say anything. Maybe he will say what Cappy says. He believes there was a lot of contact between both players and he thought it should be a no-call. Probably, I would expect he'd say something like that.

I can tell you exactly what he will say so that you can save your postage:

NOTHING!

The idea that he might decide to communicate with you and in the process slip up and reveal a clue to some nefarious fixing scheme is beyond ludicrous.

As has already been brought up, the true crime was taking away an Eisely 3 that easily beat the shot clock and giving Harper a 3 that was clearly a shot clock violation. Both plays came late enough in the 2nd half that the fact that the Jazz got screwed on a 6 point swing, definitely changed the outcome of the game.

I've never been one to pin a loss on officials, but that loss is indeed all on Bavetta. It didn't cost the Jazz the series, but it cost them a game 7 at home, with the best home court advantage in the world.

I think it all depends on how I approach the topic. If I'm not accusatory and just ask him what he saw, he might provide an answer. Of course, he's not going to admit any wrongdoing. So, what's 50 cents? No big deal.

Earlier you said you thought there was a chance you might catch him slipping up. At least you're becoming a little more sane as this conversation moves along.

Oh well. Good luck with your little project. Please tell Bavetta that we hate him.

Hi Jeff Gillooly.

A six point swing coming out of halftime doesn't in any way shape or form mean that the Jazz get to game 7. You can't simply add and subtract points from the final score like that and say that would have been the outcome. Jordan was an amazing player that is probably the greatest of all time as far as finding a way to win a game. You change the score early in the game and you change everything that happens in the game from that point forward. Who the hell knows if that six point swing gives us the win or leads to a huge rally by the Bulls and we lose by 15. There's no way to know.

....the fact of the matter is this: When you reach the finals, the two teams playing are generally the two best in the league and very evenly matched! The difference between winning and losing at that stage is razor thin! That 6 point swing could easily have pushed us into game 7 and with the health of both Pippen and Jordan in question....the Bull's don't come out of game 7 alive in my opinion! But it's all "wouldas, couldas, and shouldas" now, ain't it? I'm just saying a 6 point swing in the favor of the Bull's put them in a distinct advantage....and it was Brevetta's fault, NO NEED IN DUCKIN IT! Had there been instant replay back then, the Jazz would more than likely have one NBA championship in the books!
