[UDPATE: I sent Mark a message on this and he was kind enough to respond via email. Apparently I was not the only one to notice!]
Dirk doesn’t have to try an alley-oop pass last night for the Mavericks if someone watches the clock. I could be wrong, but at the time I felt something was amiss. Four seconds went off the clock in error last night beginning around 46.8 seconds left in the game. Surely I am not the only one who noticed. It appeared to me that the whistle blew but the scorekeeper either did not hear the whistle or choses to let a few seconds tick off. You tell me? Four seconds is a L-O-N-G time in an NBA game people.
Brother Cuban, don’t you have someone on staff who can watch the clock for you and call you on a SATELLITE phone or RIM you when these things happen? If one of your staffers can’t seem to find the time, let me volunteer! Seriously, get me and the wife to the games and I will be your clock watcher! I mean it… let me volunteer. I am a customer evangelist for the Mavericks and fantastic at listening to whistles (I was all district in HS afterall! LOL.) and watching the clock. I would think anyone is qualified, but alas noone seems to have mentioned it that I can tell!
Mark Cuban, I am very sorry for your loss, but father time waits for no man… unless they try to avoid simple mistakes that get them killed. Sure, you don’t want to be in the position at the end of the game that four extra seconds may have made a difference, but we were… and it did make a difference.
