The player can only react to what he sees on the clock. If the clock is wrong, how the gently caress is Ross suppose to know he had less time to shoot it?

Because he's on the court and has seen Cousins touch it and knows from the start of the play how long he has.

Are you actually suggesting that in 2.4 seconds Ross goes and collects a deflected pass, checks out the clock and reasons out that he has less than two seconds to shoot and then decided to use that full amount of time because he has it? This is probably the weirdest part about this. Ross isn't looking at any clocks and making sure he gets the shot, it's all by feel at that point.

What do you think would happen happen if the clock shorted out during the play and went black?

If they stop play when they realize then they're going to restart play with almost no time on the clock and that would totally gently caress over Toronto. They played on and then reviewed it. I've never seen them review the start of the clock like that though but this is also the biggest delay I can remember seeing (not that I have a lot of these memories but Derek barf Fisher's barf .4 shot barf started real fast.)

If they do actually uphold this, they're setting a pretty terrible precedent here. With the way the timer played out, etc etc it basically means that any time there is a normal human delay in starting the clock, the refs have the right to overrule that so the players essentially will never know when the clock is right.

It would have hosed them over less than giving them one impression of the time left, and then ruling that the actual time was different. That makes no sense.

It still seems weird that players are supposed to have a more comprehensive understanding of time than the scoreboard operator/clocks that govern the game.

And I do think Ross sees the clock and decided "hey I can take two dribbles" instead of seeing a lesser number and thinking he will take one or none and pull up for a shot. It's not like it was a catch and shoot

That's not the objective measure of time though. Sometimes shot clocks go out and they aren't even available, they don't just start playing without a shot clock.

Athanatos posted:

If they stop play with .5 seconds left after the clock goes out there would be .5 seconds left when they started the clock the next time. This is how I've seen all clock errors handled when play actually goes on.

This boggles my mind.

There was no incorrect impression of the time given to the Raptors in any meaningful capacity. Ross isn't looking at the clock and determining if he should shoot it at .2 or .4 seconds left, that's ridiculous.

Both teams knew how long they had to score, and the Ratpors didn't get it done*.

*I've seen conflicting evidence on this but I'll take the NBA at it's word for now.

ILP has been pathetic ever since the update. I pause a game, come back 3 minutes later and it has switched my feed or restarted the game completely or just started playing all on its own for no reason. It's atrocious.

You're the only person I've seen saying that he should have known exactly how much time was left and should have manually counted in his head the exact 2.4 seconds even though you can actually see him look at the clock during that 2.4 seconds. How on earth is he supposed to go "oh no, that is actually an incorrect clock because the guy touched the ball first and the referees didn't start the clock."

You're saying he should know this even though his back was turned to the clock when he was running towards the ball that had been deflected and couldn't possibly see a clock displaying the time and when it had started.

Like, really?

Kings are unlucky in that they didn't get a top 3 pick to waste on Derrick Williams, Waiters, Anthony Bennett, or Evan Turner. We all know that's what would've happened.

In all seriousness the Kings are really unlucky cuz normally bad ownership is rewarded in the NBA. Like how the Sterling Clippers got CP3, the Knicks got Porzingis, Chicago got Thibs and Rose and company, etc.

Well to be fair the Kings did wind up acquiring Williams after the fact so they're a bad organization on their own just like the Knicks and the Nets (who both acquired Bargnani as well) (although all three organizations are looking promising on a five year plan!)

Also King Zing was acquired after Dolan replaced himself with Jackson, his only good move ever so we were rewarded for that. Not sure if Sterling is a great example of rewarding incompetent management since his particular management style got him banned

It wouldn't be fair to the Kings to have successfully defended the play and be put in to overtime anyway. That's the alternative here. Why should a clock error that apparently is reviewable and fixable nullify the Kings' stop?

You can cherry pick bad top three picks in individual cases but that's not fair. Minnesota ended up with Derrick Williams one year and later on lucked out with Towns. Turner => Embiid and Simmons. Waiters and Bennett=> Wiggins. These bad teams eventually got lucky at the right time. Kings really haven't been lucky at the right or wrong time.

Granted the Kings have been a terribly run team, but imagine how much better off they'd be if the were in a situation where they were drafting #1 or #2 in a three person draft and it was impossible to screw up

Ross absolutely knew how much time he had. He knew he had time to dribble and pull up instead of just heaving it at the rim as soon as he got it.

Restarting the play is a terrible suggestion because then it negates a nice defensive play by Cousins.

Thinking about it, this isn't that much unheard of. We had this argument back in the 90s before replay was allowed. Basically the officials wouldn't even bother with the clock. They'd consider the time on the clock and only count specific kinds of shots. .7 means catch and shoot, 2 seconds a single dribble and pull up, etc. I still think it was a bad call but officials used to make decisions contrary to what the clock would say or based on guestimates. The president is kind of there

Underrated funniest part of this was Ranadivé later claiming he didn't think Nik rocks and was forced to make the pick due to peer pressure. (In the video he is clearly peer pressuring the staff to pick him.)
