[Winderman] NBA officiating report says timing on allowing three seconds to remain after Butler was fouled was correct. The report says the only incorrect calls in the last two minutes were a missed foul on Gabe Vincent, and a lane violation on Caleb Martin.

   I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the scoreboard on TNT holds absolutely zero weight on the actual game. The only thing that matters is the clock above the basket.

   Also said no double dribble was the correct no call

   if what butler did isnt a double dribble/travel then nothing is anymore. justifying it as losing control is absurd, and makes the rule pointless. thats never been a standard for the call either. i guess players can conveniently lose control of the ball now and to make space.

   all that being said i dont blame it not being called in real time, and im fine with the outcome of course. my gripe is just with it being justified in the report.

   So forgetting time altogether – the first foul which the report cites the hand on the back is non-shooting. Why was he awarded 3 FTs?

   Also sure the TNT clock carries no weight – what about the one above the basket? See here: https://twitter.com/tomhaberstroh/status/1662875337925992453?s=46&t=x423qJLIMQ1-3KqDxYIJMw

   Edit: lol of course downvoted. Celtics fans really pretending like they gutted this one out and weren’t handed said game after blowing a late 10 point lead

   Edit 2: anyone want to explain why 3 FTs were awarded for a non shooting first foul? Anyone?

   I know lane violations happen all the time but the Heat backcourt players were practically standing next to the Celtics FT shooter on so many occasions. Especially when Kyle Lowry was in the game

   Why is it so hard for people to understand that the clock on the TV means nothing in these situations and can be inaccurate, that was the time on the game clock.

    Heat fans took .9 seconds before deciding to ignore the L2M.
