He said they review the clock when they review the play, and the TV clock we see isn't the official clock, the clock the refs use is behind the scorers desk.

Some more BS shit it sounds like lol

Here's the replay center feed fwiw. If the two angles here are the same frame timestamp wise but different angles, the clock shows 3.0 and then the foul. This might be what they're going off of

If they put the "correct" time up, there's less time left in the game so Boston very likely isn't running a play where the design is for Tatum to catch the ball 30 feet from the basket (Miami denied this which is why Smart had the ball), so none of what we saw play out would go the same way. Boston could have ran a different play and still hit the shot. You can keep posting all night about the time to make yourself feel better but Miami lost because they played like dogshit for that game.

That’s a shit ton of hypothetical when there are 3 officials and Secaucus having the benefit of replay. WTF?!?!? Get it right. It’s inexcusable.

I only want the Celtics because I think they have a better chance of making the NBA finals competitive.

But their defense goes through horrid stretches.

honestly I do not know who to root for

both scenarios are pretty appealing

seeing the Celtics fans at home get their hopes up after 3 straight wins and then losing at home in the conference finals and maybe seeing Brown traded

or Miami finishing off the most humiliating choke job in the history of the NBA.

It will be fun either way!

One would think 2016 would have cured his bitterness but the abject misery of being from Cleveland is really hard to counter

It’s the armpit of America.

Drew Carey says it rocks

 

[PPhan]

Man, I’m so disappointed.

Starting lineup Monday should have Highsmith replacing Strus for defense on Tatum. Or maybe we start Duncan Robinson in place of Strus for more offense. Either way, I’d like to have Strus coming off the bench Monday.

Well going by the replay feed, it appears they did

Cause he’s an 8.5 in Cleveland and 4 in Hollywood.

Oh the magic clock that the public doesn’t see? That’s convenient.

 

[avalon2423]

Can everyone please just agree Lowry should not see the court at all.

You mean the clock that's right above the basket in the first frame?

Thats not happening. Strus defense isn't the problem. Primary defenders on Tatum tonight was mostly Butler and Caleb. Highsmith should play but spo clearly doesn't think so i won't bother getting my hopes up. There's only one way they win on Monday

Lowry wasn’t great but for me he was better than Strus.

Foul still didn't happened at 3 using that clock you clown. TNT clock is a tenth faster so foul took place at 2.8 instead of 2.7 using that clock....still not 3 seconds

 

[fightinfunbags]

Correct. In what world is a whistle blown and play is stopped instantaneously? There’s no more than 2.7 seconds left based on that look because of when the foul occurs.

I like strus because he doesn't do too much on offense. He plays within the system while Lowry does too much at times. Lots of forcing bs at times

Team worst plus minus tonight. I know that’s not a great stat for judging impact but getting outscored by 12 points when you’re out there and next worst starter is -2 tells a pretty accurate story.

Yeah solid point there. I would say limit his minutes

Lowry doesn't know his place. Just needs to Be a good defender and distribute the ball. Instead he tries to be the big man.
