Ref's don't look at game clock to start counting, they do their own counting which is the 1 one thousand ... which takes longer than game clock seconds. Just like 25 seconds game clock vs 25 seconds shot clock it's different! C'mon man!!..
It was about 3.7 seconds according to the game clock.

It seemed legit to me. Neal is the culprit in this scene. He is just standing there and loses track of his man. He was probably pretty tired at that point. I am hoping he is looking at the tape right now and vowing to never do it again.
To be honest they usually don't call it if a play is being made. You see guys go up get blocked over and over again in the paint with no 3 sec calls.
If you're going to be upset by that no call, you have to admit that the officials blew the shot clock violation late in the Memphis game (and they did).
And if you admit that, you come pretty damned close to admitting that the calls evened out in the wash.
As between the two, I'd rather have the Memphis win and that particular loss in Miami; it's better than the bench having won in Miami and the rested stars losing a home game to a division rival playing on the second night of its own back-to-back.
It is a fairly understood point of the rules that the player has to be attempting to gain an advantage by being in the lane, not coincidentally there approximately half a second to long attempting to regain possession of a contested ball. While this isn't written it would be similar fining someone for littering when a quarter fell out of their pocket unnoticed.
Another one of JRHernandez's great posts!

GOT DAM son, quit while your ahead. I have sympathy for you. You've already used up all my fail smileys...
This is nothing. Arguably the ball was tipped by a Spurs player and LeBron recovered it, resetting the three second count.
As others have pointed out, it's really only called in the NBA when it's egregious and an advantage is gained.
Had it been the other way you would have been screaming Stern conspiracy and ref bias.
C'mon man, I'ma be real here. You aren't even slightly pissed at that no-call that cost us the game?
it should not have been called three second violation, by rule when there is a deflection and the offensive team doesn't have totally position of the ball the three second count ends.
Assuming you're right (and you're not), are you ready to give back the Memphis win, which came after a blown call that favored the Spurs?
If you think the refs are going to make that call in crunch time, in Miami, against Lebron James, during a scramble for the ball....then you are more delusional than the Laker fans that think Steve Nash is going to come back and be the savior.
What about Bosh? He stays below the rim for exactly 3 seconds.
Refs would've never call that.
Well, that's what this thread is about. Your opinions on whether the 3 second violation should have been called.
In no universe is that a three-second violation. He was making a move toward the basket, and then the ball was knocked out of his possession. According to the NBA rulebook, both of those negate any count of three seconds. If the refs called that, you'd have about 200 violations per game and the final score would be 40-39.
No. Blaming refs is for Lakers fans unless its something absolutely ridiculous. The call you are asking for would never be made. Ever. Gary Neal was just wandering. Wasn't near ray Allen and wasn't contending for the loose ball. That's what I'm pissed about, not a phantom non call
Fair enough. The three second rule almost never gets called. It might as well be changed to 4 or 5 seconds. Gary Neal's defense was pretty bad, but so was Patty's. Mills left Wade wide open while helping the defense on Lebron, which potentially could have been dangerous.
The Spurs won't win anything if they are still making dumb defensive mistakes in April.
