    How often does the clock start on time throughout the game? Enough with the whining

    He got it off so quick that he probably beat the clock even if it started on time.

    It started late but even if it did start on time, he still had time with 0.9.

    i think a human needs like 2 tenth of a second to react. nothing wrong with that in my opinion

    We didn't win our 2 home games so it's just how it is at this point.

    All I see from these frames is how ridiculously quick Lillard got the shot off

    What's done is done, I thought it was interesting when one of young Rockets fan friend brought up the point. He too had screen captures from NBA. I went ahead and validated his statement. Yes we should have won at home. What I don't like is how the media is making a big deal out of a flawed clock shot.

    The clock was ticking down just fine, Lillard moved while everything else still froze.

    I had timed the shot myself yesterday from the moment he shot got the ball to the moment it left his hand. I get 0.77, he still would've got it off in time

    Not that I have any reason to assume something nefarious, but I'd like to see the clock on Chandler's last play to see if it was on time, late, or early.

    Lillard deserved to hit that shot, with how our crappy our defense was on that possession.

    as already mentioned.. we lost the first two games of the series on our home court.

    truth is we were lucky enough to come this close to a game 7.

    At this point there is no reason to complain, won't result in reversing the result of that game.

    All he had to do was release it in .9 it doesn't have to reach the basket. This series came down to us blowing 2 games at home end of story.

    Just a quick question I am curious about. With the angle Parsons was coming from if Lilliard would have jumped towards the basket while taking the shot would that have been a foul on Parsons had they collided ? Parsons had sold out on the leap across his shot so I was just curious is all.
