Making sure Pat Maholmes doesn’t have enough time.

Smart of Ja to do this but also another example of the refs giving him more leeway than maybe any other player in the league

But Draymond gets a delay of game for tapping the ball to the ref after it bounced off him
IslandChillin
Damn tbh that’s so close to being a delay of game imo.

They needed a rest & take fouls are out … Smart

He gave it back to the ref to avoid the delay of game call.

Isn’t the real issue that the game clock kept going, or am I seeing things?

Ant probably appreciated the extra time btw

Now we know which is his fave era of basketball.

This needs more upvotes, that was an incredible run by Ja, he boomed us.

I’ve been watching the NBA for a little over a decade and only found out about a week ago that the clock can start running while the ball isn’t actually in play.

Wouldn’t be upset about this but then it looks like he was bitching to the ref that he gave the ball back to him.

He just like me fr
ChickenOvaRice
He’s been doing time wasting stuff so much this season, trying to see what he can get away with. I’m sure he thought he’d get called out for this one but somehow the ref played along
unequivocali
This is a new terrible trend across the NBA
latman
Nah I’m definitely better at wasting time than Ja

That made me forget the basic rules of basketball. You don’t have to hand the ball to the official after every made basket, right?

You should see what the Celtics have been doing

At least he wasn’t walking the dog. Players are doing that shit earlier and earlier in games now. Dude, it’s halfway through the third quarter, just grab the fucking ball and bring it up the court
wc_Higgenbobbber
This is actually getting pretty old. I’d rather see them play basketball
tonyofhousestark_
just like soccer if the refs allow it the players will abuse it and the game will suffer for it

This gonna turn into the new Giannis free throw thing.

I’ve been watching basketball for over ten years. No way the game clock keeps advancing while the ball is inbounded. I already read the comments saying it only stops in the last two minutes, but I don’t buy that that’s always been the case. This has to be new. I’ve specifically explained to people that basketball games go on for so long because they stop the clock like every possession.

If I was ref I’d avoid the pass and count 5. Watch Ja seethe. Once he picks it up, call delay. Don’t let me be an NBA ref

Ja mad that the ref passed it back at him?? When all Ja could do was roll it over.

Disgraceful to the game. Should be given a Tech

It’s just a winning play right there .

If you saw the delay of game on Green last night hitting the ball pack the player in the 4th quarter in a close game. This should make you furious. What a joke of a league.

Isn’t that like delay of game or something
