Here's a hint. Don't let him have 5 feet of space and he doesn't make the shot. Pathetic, PATHETIC effort by the Rockets on that play. I want to say I'm stunned, but was anybody really surprised he made that?
Lillard did not have the ball in his hands for more than .9 seconds. It was well on its way to the basket by the time the red light turned on.
Nah, perfectly sober. Please quit trolling, LOF. Will be cool when he's off the team next year so you don't have to post here anymore.
Only the Rockets would let the opposing teams best perimeter player be WIDE OPEN like that. I'm sorry, after watching Lillard torture us all series long, we have to upgrade at the PF position. Both Lin and Bev were awful in this series.
They play PG. Rondo will be on the team next season. Don't worry. Should be fun next year. Brutal end to this season though.
Gotra give him props dude made a huge shot, even if he was alone on the court, with .09 seconds to go, he would of missed 7 ouuta 10 at least. Dude made it, it hurts it sux, but legit, theres nothing that can be done now. This series was bad luck from the get go n it ended that way
I didn't bother to watch. I expect this from a team that can't play defense or take every possession in a game seriously. Instead of your best player saying hey I'm a take Lillard and make sure he doesn't score the game winner you have Chandler Parsons pretty boy azz holding him with the season on the line that figures...
What is going to hurt the most is how often we are going to have to relive this moment through the NBA and ADIDAS' marketing of Damian Lillard. Every time Portland is in the playoffs or they need a Damian Lillard highlight reel, that DAMN SHOT is going to be the focal point! The shot that got them out of the 1st round in 14 years! F########CK! Why do the Rockets have to be the bearers of everyone else's golden moments!! I'm sick of it!! I want an all-defensive team next year to cut that crap out!
This is true, but with only 0.9 remaining you run the risk of fouling a three point shooter. A cardinal sin
Look at the clock .the clock DID NOT start when he first touch the ball, the ball was half way to the rim the light went off.. so you can catch turn around and shoot a ball and when the ball gets half way the light goes off, with .9 of a second? THIS IS BS......
Yup. Weird how people would rather respond and say it didn't start on time than watch for themselves. Ball left his hand with .3. Clock didn't start for at least .3.
No silly the upper clock on the back board when the ball hit his hand was NOT RUNNING you moron...after he caught the ball and started his turn in the air clock started running, you cannot catch a ball and turn and shoot and the ball half way in the air when the horn when off... Open your eyes and look...
i agree with you.. but until we see a reply from that angle in real time, its gonna be hard to determine if he did get it off in time or not. but oh well... maybe it's a good thing that they got kicked out of the first round. Maybe we'll get a better coach out of this.
i just noticed that, that clock didn't start untill he almost got it of. so he grabbed the ball took 3 steps and shot it while the clock started right bf he shot it.
I'm going to use the ESPN prompter as my clock, so I'm going to assume that it didn't have it's speed changed. It goes through 26 characters and 4 spaces, so 30 characters from the time he receives the ball to release With the clock running, 0.8 to 0.5s it goes through about 12 characters So though they started late it would have been just off, just
