Be honest, Do you know that 5 secs reset during jump ball exists?

[dbugz]

or whatever they are calling it.

Didn't know there's such rule as that.

Stupid rule or not? I'm not sure about the logic behind that rule.

[SyRyanYang]

Pretty sure the refs made that up during this game

[TMT]

I thought there was just 5 seconds left on that particular shot clock possession for Miami?

[Batz]

Nope, never heard of it. Don't know why it matters, unless such a rule doesn't exist.

Pretty sure the refs made that up during this game

Van Gundy and Breen called the rule even before the shot clock was adjusted to 5 secs. I still have never heard of it.

i could have sworn that i've seen the clock shot remain at where it was at the time the jump ball was called multiple times.

I'm guessing the logic would be if there's not enough time, then no one would want the ball.

no, there was only .8

i remeber van gundy or breen saying that harden should have just let haslem have the ball so time would run out.

[HorryIsMyMVP]

Yeah I knew about it. But if you are Westbrook you should always be looking at the game clock and shot clock. It was right there the whole time.

[tastystaci]

I have watched basketball all my life and didn't know it reset to 5 seconds. Why they would have such a rule to penalize the defense is beyond me. And after Westbrook played an amazing game, there is no excuse for not looking up and seeing that the shot clock reads 5 seconds and the game clock is 13+. You are the PG. This is inexcusable IMO.

[RazorBaLade]

nope thought they got a stop. sucks

[konex]

It only happened that way because the shot clock expired when Harden tied up the Heat player (That was the first mistake. It was an airball )

[50inchvertical]

I did not know.

[dbugz]

It should have been reset back to 24 seconds(Westbrook though it was) or not reset it at all.

But 5 seconds? It's so fckn random.

[Batz]

no, there was only .8

i remeber van gundy or breen saying that harden should have just let haslem have the ball so time would run out.

Yeah what a melt-down for the Thunder.

[tpols]

There was only 1 second left when Haslem caught the ball.. Harden shoulda let go right after he got his hands on the ball and it wouldve been a shotclock violation.
