Marco was wide open all the time. Now Barnes is a hero, but if Marco would've made that wide-open game winner LAC fans would've cut Barnes head.
The technology exists. Works on Bluetooth. Could easily be adapted. But then there's the reliance on technology. What if it failed at a critical time. http://www.94fifty.com
I had never seen a clock start way way early like that. I was as mad as the coach and owner. This beta not happen to us in the series
Spurs can suck it. All you Spurs fans really annoy me, especially since we are still in the playoffs. Will y'all just shut up for now. sheesh
Correct, timekeeper is really only there to run the shot clock and fix the main clock. During the playoffs, they are not the home team's timekeeper either and are brought in from a neutral city. However, the officials on the court are responsible for starting the clock via a mechanism on their belt and a whistle stops the clock automatically, the timekeeper has nothing to do with it. These were all to stop incidents such as the infamous 1984 Jazz/Rockets game. Yesterday's fiasco is on the game official for getting a happy trigger finger.
I guess it sucks for the spurs but they can't blame the loss on something like this. I really have no sympathy
Not everybody who roots against the Spurs' opponents are Spurs fans, no more than you being a Clippers fan anyway. Back to the point, I don't understand why it isn't the league officials who operate the clock, even after than Utah incident. Anyway, the game wasn't decided by that. It was decided by Chris Paul's flop on a missed shot.
LAC got a break, BUT the game wasn't tied..... SA was down. Spurs didn't lose on that play, they only missed a chance to tie. They only had 0:01 seconds, too. It would have been a flukey play anyway. The non-call for Harden vs MEM was much worse. That game was tied and we didn't get potential FTs from an 85% shooter. The bullish foul for TD on the following play nullified Paul's flop. Didn't know you could talk like that..... me likes

Spurs had another timeout, still not sure why you don't use it. If Pop and company had spent less time being mad, they could have made an adjustment.
