All time great Shaqtin moment
KlaysToaster
Mavs fans are saying they thought it was Mavs ball but no Mavs player even tried to inbound
inuHunter666
Ref said it was Mavs ball before the timeout

Historic Shaqtin moment

Shaq licking his lips watching this! 😂

They didn’t forget, they called Warriors ball, then reversed it to Mavs ball before the timeout, and then apparently reversed it again. And I imagine the last reversal wasn’t communicated

Shaq’tin a fool number one moment of the 2022-2023 season so far.

This is the most ridiculous play I’ve ever seen lmao.
How the fuck has this happened in the NBA

Best mavs defensive possession this season tbh

I completely get the ref screwed the Mavs but how do you look at the entire Warriors roster lining up at the opposite end and not think something’s up lol

this is on the refs, NOT the players
because of course
JVG ranting on it right now, as he should. Incredibly amateur from “professional” refs

Remind me of that play where the lakers trick the other team by lining up on the wrong side of the court, then Kobe got an easy breakaway dunk.

This is some cartoon shit

Of course a Jason Kidd coached team would do this 💀

That reffing was absolutely atrocious. Terrible and inconsistent. No excuse for that shit in such an important game.

Ref called timeout for Dallas and pointed their way, and they got confused and thought he overturned the call.
Still weird none of them came over to take the ball out if they thought it was their ball

It literally sounds like the Warriors are just discussing who’s getting the assist and who’s getting two points.

So many people excusing the Mavs for not being there due to “expecting that it was their ball” and citing the rule that allows teams to advance the ball after a timeout.
Anytime the ball goes out of bounds (as it did here), the ball is *always* inbounded from that same spot.

What the fuck?
SolitaryKnight
If Dallas still thought it was their ball, why are all 5 guys on the other side? Did they expect to inbound from their side of the court. I mean the inbound should be from the Golden State baseline anyway regardless of the possession.
TaipeiSaint
Where is the Mavs player that was supposed to inbound if they assumed it was Mavs ball? Were all the Mavs players just assuming that the Warriors were doing a full court press on the Mavs with no Mavs players in the back court?
TeamRAF19
If the Mavs really thought they have the ball, why are they not in a position to inbound where the ball went out? See, that is why the pro-Mavs argument does not hold water.

Refs pointed ball to Warriors and pointed timeout to Mavs as Mavs announcer assuming Mavs ball. Listen to the refs not your home team announcers.
mrdeas00
No one from the Mavs noticed all 5 Warriors players on the other end of the court? Crazy.

Ref called it warriors ball. Reg then immediately called timeout mavs and points at mavs bench, making it appear as if he reversed the call. Looney is in shock and complains. Ref then tells him he was pointing at the mavs to signal a timeout. The call was never reversed, but obvious to see why the mavs thought this. Very confusing gesturing from the ref.
MAKExITxBLEED
What I don’t see people mentioning enough is that this is partially on the in-game PA announcer. He thought the ref overturned the initial call to Mavs ball when in fact the ref was signaling for a Mavs timeout. The players heard the PA announcer say it was overturned when it actually wasn’t.

Ref called the ball to the Warriors, then he called timeout Mavs. He explained it to both Looney and Wood. Then the mavs decided to be stupid and not play defense.
SlightSurround3577
If Dallas thought it was their ball why isn’t anyone from their team trying to inbound it?
TeamRAF19
There is no reason for the Mavs to be on that side of the court even though they thought it was their ball because the spot for the inbound at that moment of the game will always be where Poole inbounded it.
Why people keep on blaming this on the refs and is becoming the popular narrative is showing how much groupthink there is instead of actual knowledge of basketball.

I was looking for the rules, but the closest I can find is [this article in the Athletic](https://theathletic.com/228673/2018/02/02/advance-the-ball-with-a-timeout-no-thanks-the-game-is-meant-to-be-played-over-94-feet/) that says that not only is that rule only applicable in the last 2 minutes of regulation or overtime, but it’s also only applicable after a made basket or missed shot & rebound (before the defensive rebounder takes a dribble).
Anytime the ball goes out of bounds (as it did here), the ball is *always* inbounded from that same spot.
