    Don't know what that means. I didn't rep you. Feel free to ask the mods then come on here and apologize after trying to expose me though jackass.

    Curious to see your results though.

    The bottom line is that we gave him an open shot, and he made it.

    You do realize an average speedy athlete runs a 4.4 40 meter dash, right? That means they can run about 10 meters in 1.1 seconds. 0.9 seconds is a lot longer than it seems.

    He was too fast and he was in the act of shooting when Parsons got to him.

    Didn't realize that. And it's a perfectly equivalent comparison too!

    Thanks for explaining.

    Why did Parson not front Lilliard? Isn't that the BEST most wise strategy especially when you have the ball inbound from the other side? Why the fck you give Lilliard a free run to the basket...seriously, if you look at the clip...it's a free run to get the basket with nobody to denying the ball. What kind of defensive strategy is that....goddam it.

    He's a pro athlete, dude. It takes them under .1 seconds to catch a ball, pivot, and get to the apex of their jump. Duh.

    It takes the scorer table guy about .3 seconds to react.

    The shot was good.

    people keep saying this but with .9 left whoever got the ball is putting up a shot immediately.. fouling would have only put them at the line..

    Lillard absolutely got himself established inbounds. You have to only get one foot in, not TWO. That is what Javie said, and it is what Lillard did.

    Also I looked at that final play. Even if the clock operator started it right when Lillard touched the ball, he would have gotten it off in .06 seconds.

    Wrong.

    Go back and watch it again. His right foot was clearly on the baseline and his left foot was completely out of bounds and in the air when he made contact with the ball. The rule is only one foot needs to be inbounds to establish position before touching the ball, but that did not happen here.

    Video evidence is I indisputable. Lillard was not inbounds.

    The first 10 meters are not nearly as fast as the last 10 meters.

    The difference is that Brandon Roy did NOT get the shot off in time. but the clock started late so they gave it to him.

    Lillard did get it off in time. Big difference. The clock started late but if it had started on time he still got it off in .9.

    but it happened.

    what didn't happen was HELP DEFENSE from Howard. for .9 sec, they won't pass it cross court. Howard could have helped, coach could have set them up.

    period.
