Buzzer-beater

[Rich]

I love Deadspin.

They make fun of the announcer (who is quite funny). Let's look at the officiating:

Buzzer-Beater Punctuated By Announcer's Guttural Bellow

"...who's either so excited that words fail her, or she happens to be fluent in dinosaur."

Ha Ha... that's funny!

Lead signaled the attempt and the basket.

Plus, it appears to be 2-man.

Fixed it for ya.

It is definitely a 2-man game, but you have to look closely.

Also, the announcer says that the throw-in was tipped -- the clock never started if it, in fact, was.

It was pretty hard to find the second official till the end of the video.

That is not unusual to have a tip and the clock does not start properly off the throw-in.

Unless a certained tazer-armed laser-eyed clock operator happens to be on duty.

Odd to see the Trail (official who administered the throw-in) indicate the 3pt attempt as well as score it at the buzzer from near the end line, but what else could he do? He didn't get much help from his partner, who we see at :05 of the video at the far FT line. There are no players past the division line so what is he doing down there?--Watching the paint dry!

He should have picked a position near the division line to help.

We only see him again at :16 on the clip as he tries to run past the celebration. Very funny.

At the 54 second mark of the clip, while showing a replay from a different camera, the camera follows the shot, pans back to the shooter and you can see the trail beside the shooter facing/running towared the table.

It looks to me like he started a bit to close to black's basket, as there was a player for each team behind him. Then, he's gone, as he must have high tailed it, not expecting the steal.
