The same mother er that let Fisher's shot get off with .4 secs.
Who responds for turning on/off the game clock? 1 person, 3 person, guy from the league?

It's just a question.

Pop, for anyone that can't watch the video.
Popovich: Clock error allowed Mayo 3-pointer..."You can’t do that in 2.1 seconds,” Popovich said of a play that involved an in-bounds pass from the baseline under the Spurs’ basket, two dribbles, one pass and a shot. “The clock didn’t start until after one dribble and back in his hand, and then the clock started. There was no way that it was good. But that’s the breaks of the game, and it’s what happened. It’s not a referee’s call. The clock started slow.”

They couldn't even get the clock started at the start of the effin game. Get your together already.
Got it, but still don't know which "other teams for playoff game operator" run this game.The NBA uses game-clock operators from other teams for playoff games, rather than the local official timekeepers who work each team’s games in the regular season. The referees also can start the clock, using devices on their belts.
Laker Mavs obviously.
Meh. It was a shot at halftime, for which they had a whole 'nother half of basketball to make up for. They didn't. There's the game.
Bringing it up after the fact seems kinda pathetic.

The same thing happened a few years ago in a playoff game in Detroit. It's frustrating that the league hasn't developed a solution to this problem where one is clearly available.
It didn't cost the Spurs the game -- they did plenty of things to cost themselves the game -- but it would be worthwhile (I think) for the league to solve these kinds of problems before they actually do cost someone a game.
Is it okay since I mentioned it at the time it happened? I posted up about it on Sunday.
By the way, .4 was legit. Mayo's shot wasn't even close. They got an extra second before the clock started.

And it was the difference in the game. The first two points doesn't contribute any less to your final score than the last two points.
We lost by 3 and that Mayo 3 should not have counted. One could argue that it was, indeed, the difference in the game.
Not many would argue that. You could say the same thing about a dozen questionable calls or missed calls either way.
It was the difference in the game going into halftime. If you can't make up 3 points on a bad call by the end of the game against a 7 seed in YOUR bldg, you don't deserve to win in the first place.
I was pissed about it at the time but the Spurs overcame that in the 3rd to go up by ten points. That shot didn't matter and they played well enough to win.
What killed the Spurs was poor execution in the last 1:10 of the game. Boy does that seem familiar given the last 2-3 weeks.
.4 was legit in terms of the shotclock. In terms of actually catching and shooting, No Way is the absolutely correct answer.
Not that it matters but you are right, there is no way he could have shot it faster. He caught the ball and hit a turnaround jumper. No way indeed. But Spurs sucked it up in game six so who cares.
I'm not saying it's not what the rule book states, or that it wasn't an amazing shot. I just don't think Fisher caught the ball, turned around and shot the ball in .4 seconds.
Like elbamba else said, it doesn't matter because the Spurs still ed the series away . . . it's more the physical possibility of the particular shot in the time allotted that I have difficulty with.
Butthurt withstanding.
damn, I thought OJ Mayo had got shot and was gonna miss game 2
Were spurfan crying when a clock penalty wasn't forced on the Spurs allowing Findog to hit a timely 3 against the Kings a few years ago?
IF the refs had their heads outta their asses Fisher's .4 never counts..
It took him longer than .4 to get the shot off. The gap between when the clock started by actually pressing the button took over 1 second to complete..
It was bull ..
I broke it down the night it happened. I had a DVR that did tenths of a second in 10 frame segments. Fisher easily got the ball off with time to spare, even if you don't count that the Lakers deserved .8 because that's when Duncan's jumper over Shaq went through the hoop.
