Was there a clock malfunction in the closing seconds? (NBA confirms)

[j804]

It shouldn't have come down to that still can't get over the fact that we were up 5 with under 1:30. If we lose that IT turnover, along with his bright idea to wear all black is going to go down as one of the biggest choke jobs.

, i thought the refs did an amazing job not calling john walls or IT's tough layups

What about the no call offensive goal tend/interference on Oubre, did you think that was a good call because if you did here is some help for you.

Was trying to find a replay of that call and found this:  http://celtics.247sports.com/Bolt/WATCH-Refs-miss-Wizards-offensive-goaltending-call-in-Game-6-52735813

"Hopefully the Washington Wizards don't win this game by a basket. "

Doh!

Regardless of the goaltend, we were up 5 with the ball with a minute plus to go, and we blew it by throwing the ball away and giving the Wizards an open 3. At the end of the day the fault is not on the refs. They even made the right call reversing that blocking foul on Smart to a charge.

So the refs are not at fault for the calls they blew in that game?

Yeah, we made some poor plays down the stretch.

The refs were horrible as well, we could have easily had a 12-pt lead if they'd called some of the many hacks or illegal screens the Wizards were committing on literally almost every play.

Maybe we got hosed AND we blew plays down the stretch?

Why can't it be both?

why isn't CBS working the refs more. Gortat has not been called for his moving screens as much as he should.

We got a fairly called game and blew it.

If only the NBA cared during the game, you know, when it mattered

[Denis998]

at least we have something to complain about if we loose this series

[Somebody]

The refs should be favourable to us next game (fingers crossed)

I agree with the Celtics. If you can't change the result then just inform the teams involved and give them the right to release the information to the press or not. Hopefully the 2 minute report is used to judge the competency of refs and helps the NBA to figure out ways to get plays called right. This shouldn't just be someting to assuage angry fans and give them more reason to hate the officials.

I can't stand the league only does the last two minutes of a game for review. The whole game counts. Review each game and release the info. The NFL reviews plays the whole game. A play in the 2nd quarter could mean everything. Give coaches 3 reviews of a play a game and cut timeouts by one. I think thats the smart thing to do.

[Ogaju]

that was not error that was deliberate.......

Cs choked by not even complaining. Cs got discombobulated by the Wall 3 and did not play the game to the end.

What I don't understand is that the NBA said the situation wasn't reviewable, but I swear I've seen officials stop a game, plenty of times, just to confirm how much time should be on the clock.

Yeah....pretty sure they could've reviewed it. Anyways let's hope that the calls will be in our favor in game 7.

I'm guessing you can't review when a foul was called.  They can review things like when the ball went out of bounds, etc, but probably not a foul.

These are from Kyle Draper tweets:

NBA admits clock ran an extra second to 1.7 when Olynyk was fouled. Says clock should have been stopped earlier but play not reviewable.


#NBA also says Al Horford got away with an illegal screen at 41.2 seconds and a defensive 3 seconds at 33 seconds left.



EDIT: Sorry. I guess this information was in the original link. TP for OP.

Lol pretty sure Gortat shouldve fouled out several times over due to illegal screen.
