    Gotta love Brandon Roy's illegal shot being the #1 play. Speaking of which, have we filed a grievance or request to review yet with the league? I mean, it's clear as day.

    It was a terrible defensive mistake by Rockets. Yao should have been the hero.

    Tmac's missed dunk was also #1 on this months ESPN's "not so great plays" list.

    I'd love to see this "evidence". It's undeniable the timekeeper aided that shot. You simply can't catch, set and shoot with full release in .8 seconds.

    My original findings, stating that Roy completed the shot in about .77 seconds, can be found HERE

    and were soon confirmed here...

    Your first time was .81 your second was .74. Nice and precise there, especially considering we're talking about .80 total!

    *sigh*

    The times were done by hand just to prove that it didn't take 1.6 seconds, as Hollinger initially reported. It wasn't meant to be exact.

    But I guess you missed the part about the footage being dissected frame by frame and concluding that it took .766666, right?

    If the clock started when it was supposed to, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

    You can do any analysis you want, it wasn't enough time. I watched it a few times after that game in slow mo and no way should have counted.

    Either way, whatever. It was a miscommunication between Ron and Tracy.

    That bs shot is the least on my concerns with this team.
