Much more dependent on if the Bulls can get the #1 or #2 seed though.

WhyteRyce posted:I'm confused at some takes people have on the Kings roster. Yeah the asset cupboard is bare. But there aren't a lot of long term deals on the books and the few they have aren't that big of a deal. By not trading Rudy for a monta Ellis or Stuckey poop platter, trading for more picks/assets during the draft, and basically doing the bare minimum about their PG situation, the Kings effectively said they are starting over. They owe an unprotected pick but they have a fair bit of flexibility going forward. The only question is if they think Cousins will stick around, and why make a deal before next summer if you don't have to. I would feel better about the Kings if they had LESS roster flexibility going forward. If they had their cash tied up in some bright futures at least I'd know where they were going and what they were doing.

straight up brolic posted:it's just the wrong call, but they can't like...have them go play overtime. they needed to catch it during the play or treat the shot clock as normal. You can't not catch it, and then retroactively call the play dead. Hasn't it just been a couple of years since they had teams replay part of a game during their next meeting because of some kind of clock gently caress up. I can't remember the details but feel like that happened.

Another thing about the Ross call is that the clock does start before he even got the ball So the refs are saying the time from the Boogie tip to the ball hitting the floor is definitively more than .5 seconds + the normal human lag time to start the clock when the ball is touched. Which is, you know, insane

During the most crucial moment of his career, the head ref had a vision of future-Boogie thanking him for noticing he tipped the ball and time expired

Imagine four balls being inbounded on the edge of a cliff. Say a direct copy of the ball nearest the cliff is tipped by Cousins to the back of the line of balls and takes the place of the first ball. The formerly first ball becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff. Time works the same way.

BWV posted:the solution during the situation in the future is to just replay the last 2.5 seconds I guess. it's what they do when the shot clock fucks up. Like I said in the GDT the players can't be held responsible for indepednetly assessing the passing of time. They always depend on the scoreboard/shotclock so if that errs you either go with it or just replay from the mistake. Why would you get a replay at all? You know when someone accidentally doesn't start the shot clock and they dribble up for 5 seconds and the refs notice and blow the whistle? They don't go back and replay that 5 seconds they just start the clock at 19 when they inbound because that's what it would be at. Ross knew he had 2.4 seconds to get a shot off and he didn't do it. Everything past that is just whining. Edit: I do want to add that the clock started before Ross touched the ball so the timekeeper did try to get it right, apparently, and it's weird that they actually go back and correct for a timekeeper delay when that type of thing is normally let slide.

Week 4 Power Rankings 1. LA Clippers - A loss to the Grizzlies on a good night for that team, and an arguably stolen win from a Bulls team that melted down isn't enough for me to erase a mostly dominant season. 2. Cavs - Cruising 3. Spurs - Defense is inconsistent but good enough at times for them to take care of business. 4. Jimmy Butler and Another Alpha Featuring Taj Gibson and Cannon(sic) - This team is getting a rep for talking a lot of poo poo but thanks to Jimmy Butler they've mostly backed it up. The Clippers loss ended up being pretty embarrassing but they had a really good week despite poor health. 5. Memphis Grizzlies - They had a pretty solid week with a few good road wins. 6. Hawks - Trend continues where I like their wins but hate their losses. 7. Warriors - Holy poo poo what an easy schedule. I'm waiting every week to slide them up but they've just been feasting on the the literal worst teams in tn the NBA for the most part. The Raptors were the second """"""contender"""""" they've faced this season and they beat them so I guess there's that. Defense is garbage still, if it wasn't for the Lakers it'd probably be the worst in the league. 8. Raptors - A tough scheduling week saw a lot of losses that I am mostly forgiving by ranking a team that lost 3 out of 4 games this week in the top 10. 9. Rockets - A scorer's chance to get a win every night. They played a little defense here and there last week. 10. Lakers - Mostly ranking them as probably a ceremonial goodbye to relevancy. The Lakers have always been the NBA's work horse during the holiday schedule, so it's only going to get tougher for them the next couple month. 11. Pelicans - Another ceremonial ranking for some quality wins with the return of Holiday. They had a good week. [Irrelevant line] 27. Suns - They're young, they're supposed to lose. Bender at this time does not look like an NBA player at all, which makes the Arizona Republic's weekly praise article of him hilarious, which is mostly why I'm highlighting their badness. But hopefully he can come along. 28. Mavs - Like Brolic, I can't deny they're this bad anymore. 29. Wizards - Historically bad sports owner Ted Leonsis has to be to blame for this somehow. Free John Wall. 30. Pacers - I don't care what a team's record is if they lose Sixers one week and then the Suns the next. They have the least amount of power in the league.

The warriors defense is garbage but they have to lose half their roster before being as bad as portland or sacromento. I don't understand anything about the wizards on why they're so bad.

They actually have a league average defense this year! It's the offense that is garbage. Optimistically, the return of Jrue may vault them up to an average team. Will be very nice once he gets up to speed and can start with no minutes restrictions.

I feel like the blame lies solely on the Raptors for last night because they obviously hosed up when converting their Canadian Time to American Time and ended up with even less than they thought they would.

That also happened this year during a Pacers game. The 1st two weeks of the season the new Tissot clocks were hosed. I probably watched 15 games and at least 7 of them had some sort of clock issue. They seem to have gotten things working better. Maybe, like someone else said, it was an issue learning how to use new equipment. Wasn't a good start for Tissots new huge partnership. Rick posted:30.
