Utah’s clock is broken. After a very long delay, it’s revealed that the announcer will call out the shot clock countdown
Scoreboard, all electronics are incorrect in the building. Players essentially playing a very big game of pickup.
This was also after the pyrotechnics device behind the shot clock accidentally(?) starting going off during a Chet free throw in the first half.
Even the Jazz arena workers are tanking
We have to be worse. We have to play worse. We have to defend worse. We have to trust one another less. We have to be coached worse. Every single thing, everybody has to be worse. Everybody. It starts from the equipment manager. He has to wash our clothes worse.
Dude I’m fucking crying reading this holy shit
What are we talking about !? Washing? We’re talking about Washing, man!
Lmao
That’s even better than the strobe lights they couldn’t figure out how to turn off in Toronto earlier this week.
It did not seem accidental in the arena 🤣
brought to you by Tissot
Wait what? How did I miss that? 😂
OK I just saw the clip. That thing goes for at least a minute straight. Unbelievable.
I remember where I was the last time there was a long delay when the Thunder were playing the Jazz
That game and that night I think was when shit actually got real regarding Covid and public perception
Yup, the UC and CSU systems both canceled classes for the foreseeable future the next day.
Definitely what they were referring to 😂🤣
Okay missing context here
Covid haha. Thunder vs Jazz when Rudy Gobert was the first confirmed case in the NBA
Yeah was that when he was rubbing all the mics or something? Coving denier and was then NBA patient 0. Fuck Gobert.
He rubbed the mics a game or two before that
The game the night Rudy tested positive for covid days after his grab the microphone incident.
Fuck Gobert, all my homies hate Gobert.
2020
Gobert laughed about COVID rumors at the time, then sneezed and smeared that gunk all over the mics, postgame.
Gobert tested positive for COVID next day alongside Tom Hanks, and the world shut down indefinitely.
League shut down
Billion dollar companies, can’t afford back-up clocks
Like an iPad timer mirroring to TVs would do it. There are high schools managing this for decades, come on guys. It could literally be in a backup bag at every arena.
Shut down the franchise. WTF do you mean “the announcer will call out the shot clock countdown”
Fr like have some dignity
“and it’s Thunder ball… there’s 10 seconds left on the clock… 5… 4321 aaaand shot clock violation”
Then didn’t proceed to ever call it out 🤣
I didnt hear shit from TV at least.
We started playing fast as hell when the clocks went out to be fair. Didn’t want any part in that PA announcer bs lol.
I’ve seen games where the PA had to call the shot clock but it’s gotten very rare. Most of the time it’s just the portable shot clock. Utah doesn’t have those I guess.
“There’s a bear loose in the arena, nobody panic.”
Maybe they should stop airing those Tissot shotclock ads all the time. Maybe give Casio a shot.
Rico Hines pick up runs
6, 5, 4, 3, 2, *guy pulls up for middy*
Every NBA arena should be well equipped for this situation what a fucking shitshow
I was at the game. At one point in the third quarter it said the score was 0-0 with 99 minutes remaining https://files.fm/u/8dp6rbajrh
adam silver ruined basketball
I think there were problems with the clock when Denver played in Utah as well.
Yeah, this is wild. Can’t remember ever seeing all the clocks go down.
multi billion dollar company btw
Does someone have a video of this so I can laugh
How does this happen
weirdest game ever
Evil villain in the crowd has technokinesis
This happened in the hawks/Cavs game last week too…
it happened earlier at another game, too, I can’t recall that one just that I had it on in the background and they were commenting about the new clocks, they’re pretty clearly dogshit and the NBA needs to force their sponsor to pony up the fix ASAP.
It was the blazers
Not that it matters but this should be a forfeit. Fix your shit.
Hell no. Fans paid to see a game
Granted, I did only pay $3 per ticket tonight lol
That’s a steal
Correct, they paid to watch a professional basketball game. Not a pickup game where people are yelling out the shot clock. It’s on Utah for not having their arena prepared to play a professional basketball game.
Brother, the game is a business. They don’t give a fuck who wins, they care about the money in your pocket. If they give OKC the win just like that, the fans who paid good money to see their team play would be livid and would likely not give their money again in the future. Bad business.
lol idk whose paying good money to watch this team
Oh is it a business? Damn I had no idea. Utah is operating their business very poorly, then! Good point!
They should reschedule it ir something, playing a game with wonky equipment is ass
The Jazz would like that if anything
Right like it’s a win win. I mean I wanted to watch a professional basketball game but apparently we are playing pickup with extra lights.
I assume the issue is organising refunds which they really won’t want to do
I mean of course they aren’t going to refund because there is nothing requiring them to, but there should be protocols in place for this sort of thing idk. It doesn’t matter, it’s a win regardless, but come on!
You could give the jazz an infinite shot clock and they’re not winning that game
Okc leads by 25..24..
This happened in a raptors game on the playoffs IIRC
Embarrassing really.
