I have to agree. That was about double the time I expected, even given the normally generous timeout allotment in the 4th quarter for advertisers.

Unfortunately in sports, most of the time the better team does not win the championship...especially in the NBA  .  I will say this, I&#x27;m taking OKC to win the series when the line comes out cause I feel that  IF they win game 5, they can win the next 2 at home unless Stern makes the call hehehe

Hey idiots, once he couldn&#x27;t move the TO was changed to a FULL TO by the Heat.

.... Bron went down on the court... An injured player can take a couple of mknutes to get off the court and/or gather himself while being attended to by the training staff ON the court... the heat called a timeout, which started once the player and training staff were off the coirt.. Pretty standard stuff, teams are not forced to use time outs if a player needs attention from a trainer if he goes down on the court

&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;amazing isnt it, how all these jerkoffs get so worked up about something and theyre 100% dead wrong. The stupidity of the people on this site blows my fukn mind

LeagueCapper · Answer

^^ dead wrong?  A full timeout is nowhere near 6 minutes retard. Injury or not they are not allowed even half that time if the player is on the sideline which he was. I did not hav money on this game but I am not blind

&#xD;&#xA;i think what happened was the heat called a time out? and then right after it was a schedule next ball foul tv timeout anyway? or actualy the tv time out first and then they called a time out to make it go on longer? nothing against the rule book calling a time out after a tv time out on the last loose ball out of bands or foul play, isnt this what happened?

pj702 · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;i thought it was a whistle to the tv time out, you know there is a few of them each quarter, and then when they came back from the tv time out, then the heat called time out? and there isn othing in the rule book saying you can not do this, this is legal, adn is this not what happened? i might be wrong, i follow college more and know exactly what times in college there is tv time outs under 16 min, 12, 8, 4 whistle dead ball foul, out of bound whistle to tv time out. i dont know what hte time is in nba i think it different by or maybe it the same by 4 mins, but i thought that what this was, then the heat calleda  time out after that

It seems like from your post that you think that long timeout benefited Miami and it is unfair for the officials to allow such a time to Miami.

So I have two questions:

Did Lebron come back to the game after that long timeout? The answer is NO. So how does Miami benefit from that timeout? I am confused.

So you are saying OKC did not benefit from this long timeout either? What were OKC doing? They must be playing San Antonio while the Heat is resting. Again the answer is NO. OKC was resting as well. As matter of fact right after the timeout, you can feel the momentum change to OKC. Durant hit the shot and OKC was up by 2 points.

So please enlight me again. How is it unfair?

You know who really benefit from this..........ABC/ESPN........they get extra money from extra advertisements.

ApocalypseLater · Answer

Dimeplayer... why does it matter if Miami benefitted? clearly, it should not happen... the only important question is, why was Miami given 5 minutes for a 30 second timeout when Lebron was injured with cramps?

what is most shocking is that the "NBA" isn't even subtle about how much they do to manipulate these games, right in people's faces... and so many still turn a blind eye to it...

mass fucking hysteria!
