In a playoff game with 2 minutes left???

So I guess this means they are gonna start calling every 3 seconds or when they cross the line on the inbounds pass under the goal.

Gimme a break. NBA....you want the Celtics to win or something?
And while you are at it.....you better make sure the Lakers start winning.
You cant DARE have Rockets vs Cavs for the title.

Because Lebron and Yao won't pull in any extra viewers at all! I hear they hate basketball in China.

That is not a judgement call like a 3 second count. There's a 24 second clock for all to see. The ref will not let that slide.

you are right, the NBA doesnt want the world to see what lebron looks like when he goes up against the rockets D. he would be exposed.

No my point is "when" they start inforcing the rules. I say call every damn foul , every damn walk ,etc...not just when you want to.

How many walks or fouls do they let go...why not let this go. Because the C's needed it.

And BTW - I didnt watch 1 second of Lakers/Rockets.

8 second calls are almost always called and called correctly since it's not subjective at all

Dude, they are STARING at a 24 second clock. If it gets below 16, it's a violation. Let's start letting go shots at the buzzer no matter what the clock says.

The Celtics were at home playing a team who started JJ Redick. You got waaay bigger problems.

I think they should do away with this rule all together. With the shot clock, who is seriously going to try and keep the ball at the other end of the court?

I thought it was a BS call. Has anyone seen this call before? Don't give me this shite that it's the rule.

I'll beat you to death with the lack of calls for walking.

It was bang/bang. It seems they blow the whistle when they see the clock hit 16. There should be another decimal place to make it 16.0. At 16.2 its still not a violation. If they don't add a decimal place, I think they should have to wait till the clock shows 15.

*Lumberg voice* Yeah, if you could get the ball across half-court in less than 8 seconds, that would be terrific. It's sort of a violation if you sort of don't.

Gives teams a chance to set up the press when the game is coming to an end instead of just fouling.
