No, it’s not. It’s a barely catch and chuck time extremely quick. It’s literally half the time they should have had left. Huge difference on the play and shot selection
If the guy doesn’t interfere with the ball the game is over.

I agree there should have been more time.

But .3 is not lob only.

And throwing a lob to Gobert is like 0% success probability

Just saw the 2 minute report. It says since the clock did not reach 0 instant replay could not be triggered. It says the officials had a conference and reset the clock to 0.3. To me this says ok we really don’t know so we will give them enough for a catch and shoot.

Also the report did not identify anything that was gotten wrong in the last 2 minutes.

I guess the real question is why someones opinion bothers you so much? That’s a question for you to ponder, we don’t care.
Lol....it doesn't bother me in the slightest....but apparently, and for whatever reason, my opinion bothered some in here.

That's cool....it happens....get over it.
Move on.

Anyway...it's time to prepare for the Knicks game.

This thread is getting weirder than it already was.

I think what we learned is the entire Thunder franchise are a bunch of poopy heads, and they broke my spirit.
Ooh mature stuff. Ok, well I know what you are, but what am I?

But the clock was 100% wrong. Is
What it is
You realize the clock stops on the referees whistle without a review right? Actually they were gifted enough for a catch and shoot due to all the confusion. I don’t have a problem with it.

Upon a normal review that clock
Would have been reset to .6

Yes .5 or .6, but a clock review could not be done legally in that instance. Can you imagine in the course of a game home many seconds are lost or gained over little stuff?

Well that is easy.

The Trent Tucker rule states that a player can’t catch and shoot with LESS than .3 seconds on the clock.

Meaning it is possible with .3 or more.

This has been studied.

I want to see you show us how it can be done

In all seriousness I would love to know how they went from saying .4 had to be on the clock to get a shot off to randomly changing it to .3 a few seasons ago
