    Catch the ball, pivot, jump, release a 3...

    It was probably .5 seconds from when the ball touched Lillard's hands before the clock started running.

    Oh well. We got hosed every which way that series. May as well get one for the road.

    Yea the shot was legit. Can't believe that he got it.

    I would have just fouled after the inbound pass.

    I can happen and it did happen. Lillard is super fast. It was a quick release catch and shoot.

    I've replayed it at least 20 times.

    The clock DID NOT start on time but Lillard still got it off incredibly quick. Really hard to judge it but the timekeeper certainly played a huge role in this game. Shades of Utah and Jim Peterson yelling at the timekeeper to start the clock.

    Hats off to Lillard and Aldridge.

    They had an incredible series and we squandered way too many opportunities.

    It was a great play. Parsons is just too damn slow to be on lillard

    .9 seconds you could actually inbound and drive to the basket doing a tear drop depending on where you are inbounding..

    Sorry...it can, but it didn't. Post a gif, prove me wrong.

    Clock didn't start instantly. Home-cooking from clock operator.

    He got it off in time. .9 is an eternity. Yeah the clock probably started late, but he had it up with like 3/10 of a second to spare, so it doesn't matter.

    Remember Brandon Roy, that was only in 0.8 secs. Same thing.

    Even if it did start early, he got that shot off immediately. Would have been good either way.
