D'Oh!
le should have read With 1:48 left in regulation.
Kwa Leonard drilled a trey to make it 91-88 Spurs with 2:30 left in regulation.
Spurs get a stop on D as Connoley misses a short banker and Spurs rebound.
Parker brings it up court and wisely gives it to a better ball handler in Kwa.
Kwa draws the double team while expertly running the clock down to 4 seconds then dumps it off to a wide open Parker at the arc.
Parkers shot clanks but Lee gets the good rebound. Throws it out to Patty.
1:48 left on the clock.
Chance for Spurs to reset, get another good look while working the clock down again.
Nope. Shot clock worker failed to reset the button on the obvious rim drawing shot from Parker.
Patty assumes the shot clock is going to go off so horks up a desperation brick.
Officials do nothing about it.
Discuss.
Look, the Spurs were facing a 7th seed team with a rookie coach so lets not assume Gregg Pop and co. were going to win the game had the shot clock been properly reset.
Just sayin it most definitely affected the game.
What, if anything is the NBA saying?
Is that not a reviewable / game stopping play?

doesnt matter. instead of pointing and complaining about the buzzer, players didnt run back on D
Makes all kinds of difference.
The position of Spurs players was not one of being ready for an offensive board nor transitional D as they completely expected the ball to be held by Pattycake to milk the clock down.
then that's patty's fault. he played on and went for the 3
Patty did exactly what he was supposed to do. He was mislead by the shot clock.
Were you trading spunk with the shot clock keeper, thus distracting him?
no. the buzzer went off BEFORE patty shot it. he knew it was wrong and played on.
lee and parker were too busy pointing and complaining and gave up points on the other end
I think Patty was confused, not "he knew it and played on."
As to Porker and Lee arguing rather then getting back. True.
Does not change the fact it was a bogus clock.
If assigning "blame" make it
000000.1% Patty
000000.2% Porker and Lee
99.9999999% scorekeeper.
The questions remain:

what if patty made the shot, they reviewed it, and waived it off because memphis players stopped. you'd be complaining about that.
the scorekeeper messed up. patty made a bad decision. other spurs players pointed and complained instead of playing to the whistle
No I'm all about fairness.
Make the correct call.
Exactly, fair is fair.
Mills should have made the wide open 3.
The buzzer went off well before Patty's shot. He was just wide open for three and decided to take it.
