• For a 20-Second Timeout, the official shall instruct the timer to record the 20 seconds and to inform him when the time has expired.
• If a team calls a 20-second timeout because one of its players is injured and, at the expiration of the 20-second timeout limit, play is unable to resume due to that player's injury, a full timeout will be charged to that team and 20-second timeout returned.
• The 24-second clock shall remain the same as when play was interrupted or reset to 5 seconds, whichever is greater, any time on jump balls retained by the offensive team as the result of a held ball caused by the defense.
It's been a rule for a long while now.

As of now, would you consider OKC chokers or just inexperienced? I believe they are the better team from top to bottom....just curious. Letting games slip away an awful lot this series.

All I could see is if you have a jumpball less than a second, giving them a full second. Even that makes NO sense, but its better than 4 free fucking second lol. Dumb as fuck rule.

way worse? Hardly anybody on here knew the rule. And its a stupid rule regardless. Why reward the offense?

They are young, and Miami is a better team. OKC is a better offensive team but Miami has stars that will do everything to help you win, not just score. Durant with 2 boards, are you kidding me?

Inexperienced. Not only players, but coaching as well. Miami might win it this year, but OKC has shown great improvement each year. Next year they will take what they have learned from this experience and apply it.

Were the Mavs the better team last year?

eh, I don't think so. I mean...i think they have the better big three, but the rest of their team is garbage other than MVP candidate Joel Anthony

OKC is the better all around team. They have just made stupid ass mistakes that the heat haven't. Also, the refs have given the heat the series.

Imo no, but they had a perfect style to beat the Heat, the zone defense and the ball movement. OKC has the shooters but they don't have the ball movement. I said before the series that OKC was a better match up for the Heat than the Spurs, but a lot of people only thought that Miami didn't match up well with them which obviously isn't the case.

Miami matched up perfect when it is 8 on 5.

Not true at all, Chalmers, a healthy Mike Miller is a really good role player, Battier is a great role player, James Jones can shoot the piss out of the ball, Udonis Haslem is a warrior and is similar to a Nick Collison but better. People overrated OKC's depth because of Harden, who hasn't played well as we all know.

Miami's others have been better than okc's especially tonight. Collison was the third best player for the Thunder.

Haslem isnt better than Collison. Mike Miller hasn't done shit this series. Chalmers has stepped up.

OKC's depth has been overrated all along, Derek Fisher? They have two quality subs in Collison and Harden(who is basically a starter). They don't use guys like Cook who could help.

You are a fucking idiot. Get LBJ dick out of your mouth and take off the Heat blinders and you would see not only is OKC the better team but are getting screwed this whole series.

Haslem is most definitely a better play than Collison and has been throughout his career. Mike Miller averages 14, 5 and 3 for his career and shoots over 40% from 3, not his fault he has a wrecked back.
