So during the Wizards game tonight, the Wizards side commentators said something referencing the Garden's (Celtics) "fishy" clock. The clock didn't start on the inbounds, refs didn't notice, then called 24 seconds on Washington.

But anyway, I was curious -- they referenced Bird in a comment I can't all too likely remember (tyven, I'm hoping you watched it and might have caught what they said), but basically, mildly calling out the clock "mysteriously stopping on Celtics possessions."

So I youtubed it to see what I'd get, and there's a recent clock mishap from the Garden (from the 2010 EC finals):



But I was still curious as the reference to Larry Bird, so I thought there might have been a famous incident. Next page, I saw a recent clip of Rondo hitting a buzzer beater:




So I'm curious:
1) Is there a famous incident (i.e. Larry Bird reference?)
2) Does anyone else see the clock ... stutter...as Rondo is racing down the court?

[Dimmauk]

Alot of fishy thing go on at the garden. Rondo usually gets 2-4 phantom assists there.

[Kaslo]

So I hear Russell Westbrook is costing his team again.


lol

Except he didn't, poor performance by the bench and hot Mav hands did.

[Valisk]

[Rhinox]

Except he didn't, poor performance by the bench and hot Mav hands did.

Hmm?

8/20, 2assists, 2 TO with 1:37 to go

Ah ok

[Man0warr]

Westbrook was terrible. He's been terrible both games against the Mavs actually.

Once they go zone he just starts tossing up 3s/long 2s that they give him wide open looks on instead of trying to get KD the ball.

He should never have the same amount of attempts as KD.

[Rhinox]

Hey moss,

Where can point god send the bill to for the schooling he's gonna give water bug tonight?

[Kaslo]

THIS TEAM JUST MAKES SO MUCH SENSE WITH HARDEN ON THE FLOOR!!!!

[Rhinox]

Goodness bulls can't buy a bucket. They haven't scored in over 8 mins yet only down 10

[Rhinox]

This is a goddamn wnba game.

[Demosthenes11]

[Buffy]

The Bulls Hawks game is the worst game I've ever seen.

[Rhinox]

Zone defense should be outlawed. Shit meant for hs teams and cowards

[Buffy]

[Demosthenes11]

[Buffy]

Nah, more his "Screw you guys, I'll do it" face. Hit 3 3-pointers in a row in the 4th to bring them back from 19 down. Down 1 atm with 1:04 to go.

[Cail]

5 minute official TO to determine possession, time left etc. about to play, OKC calls 20s timeout (while down 9 with 1min to go) what?

[Rhinox]

Hooooooooooooly fuck
