Just regular season shenanigans. It happens, you just move on

That “8 second” violation almost lead to the third game in the last 6 to be determined by refs fucking over Cleveland.

Cavs have possession comfortably with 20 seconds left. Zarba stops play to make sure the clock is right (it was)
Cavs now have to inbound the ball, despite having comfortable possession before the ref stopped the game. They get it inbound, and despite play stating with 20.0 on the clock, they call an 8 second violation with 14.4 on the clock — literally not possible to have been a violation.
With no ability to challenge, the announcers say Zarba mentioned 2 seconds had already passed, but nobody knew that. So they give the nets the ball in a one possession game with 14.4 on the clock.

The NBA has to do something about refs controlling the outcome of games like this.

TheSmokedSalmon420 | Cavaliers

They must have thought the game clock was the shot clock and saw 15 and panic blew the whistle. Absurd.

Sensitive_Worry2499

if 2 seconds had already passed, then the 8 seconds should have been called if the ball was not beyond halfcourt with no more than 14 seconds on the clock, not 14.4

No-Archer-421

That and two seconds had already passed bc the refs stopped play to check the clock again why would that count?

SomeFatherFigure | Cavaliers

The previous shot went through the hoop at 23.2 seconds. Technically, the 8 second violation was valid; but Zarba fucked them over by stopping play because of his own incompetence.

There is a big difference between having to get the ball across when you already have clean possession, and having even more limited time to get the ball across against a set defense on an inbound.

The least he could have done was either clarify with them his “guess” as to how much time they had left, or pull up a monitor and actually determine if the shot clock should have been off if he wasn’t sure.

It went through at 23.2, and Merrill crossed over at 15.4. Thats 7.8s. The clock was readjusted to 15.6s, meaning it was 7.6s.

Also, it’s the full 8s count. An 8s violation is called when the clock hits 15s. So that clock should have been at 14.2s when the violation is called. Merrill still had a full 1.3s to cross it over.

It is not technically valid.

That 8 second call was a joke. Never seen it called like that ever especially from a ref on the opposite baseline.

Sensitive_Worry2499

20 | a day ago

no shot clock for the players to verify that they are within 8 seconds but somehow the refs remember it down to the millisecond. Always hated that situation

It was pretty ridiculous.

SocialistAvocado | Cavaliers

I don’t give a fuck if I sound salty but this is 4th game since last Sunday vs okc where the reffing is fucking garbage and affecting the game. It’s a joke.

Keon ellis 4/3/2/3/5 is diabolical

No-Archer-421

Why did the Cavs get an eight second violation in five seconds?

RestlessTortoise

17 | a day ago

23.2 - 14.4 = 8.8, except they rolled back the clock to 15.6. So 7.6. Yup, not an 8-second violation .

Fynity | Cavaliers

5 | a day ago

If I’m not mistaken it also had to be inbounded again due to a clock issue. I feel like in those situations you need to just grant the entire time back as it leads to a lot of issues like this and confusion

Ok-Tree4365

A team has 8 total seconds to get the ball across the line, and the Cavs failed to do that. It doesn’t reset if the ball goes out of bounds, or if there is a foul in the backcourt.

9574 | Cavaliers

There wasn’t an out of bounds or foul, the refs stopped play for no reason

Keon Ellis is a defensive DAWG

I thought any stoppage (such as a time out) resets the 8 second rule timer. Is that not the case?

PootieTooGood | Cavaliers

8 | a day ago

I went back to watch it and the nets made that basket with 23.2 (espn has it at 23.8?) on the game clock, and Sammy had it completely across the half court like at 15.3 seconds. Wasn’t 8 seconds

fix the rule lizard man

Wolf was a monster, Nelson looked very nice and Traore bounced back from a rough first quarter AND an L. Good job boys you love to see it

The Nets’ youngsters gave it a good go. They could have done a much better job attacking Harden. It also doesn’t help when like 60% of your team has a rookie whistle.

Cavs had to resort to fouling the rookie up 3 to win this game. They’re not making out the east for another 10 years

The Cleveland Cavaliers (38-24) defeat the Brooklyn Nets (15-45), 106-102.
