    Nah dude, he's an expert. He "managed" a friend's website. Lord knows there's no way anyone else on this forum has possibly worked on or for website host providers previously.
    Also studying computer engineering in school totally makes you an expert on all things IT related (lol).

    More like he caught the alley oop and made a lay up. No way that's .3 seconds. But as zboy said I can't blame the time keeper.

    Should be overturned, and with Silver in charge I think there's a better chance of that happening than if Stern were still in power.

    Computer Engineering and managing a virtually zero-traffic website. LOL.
    Yeah servers for managing all that search engine crawler bot traffic is typically going to be very cheap.

    That guy is just being an #entitledBitch.

    Do you really not think that there is a difference between actions in the final seconds and minutes of a game, and actions before then?

    I think mathematically it is likely indisputable - don't know really, didn't research, but have to assume it's the case - that actions that happen in those last seconds/minutes of a game have a much higher impact to Wins/Losses?

    Clearly, ideally you'd have everything be referee'd and timed exactly right throughout every second of every game. But given this is reality, I see no problem with the 0.4 second rule....

    ... assuming it was enforced as it's written.

    1. the guy that called you a cheapstake was being a dick because you didn't know

    2. nobody cares what degree you have or what you saw on other websites forums

    3. this website has been running successfully for a decade and half and nothing is going to change. This is Clutch's house and he can do whatever he want with the rules, it isn't a democracy, there's no point b****ing about it

    Given the .4 second rule, I am surprised that the Kings did not appeal to it. Rather they went for the much more difficult proof of a tip.

    LMAO at the guy who thinks clutchfans costs 5 dollars a month to run. It sees dead periods and then tsunami levels of F5 soldiers when news breaks.

    That was a catch, pump and layup, i seriously doubt anyone can do that in .3 seconds scientifically speaking. But they go by the operator starting the clock , so it counted, lock it up.

    Yes I have. I'm not going to blindly dig but the most recent example was in the paging cyberx thread after Bballholic started championing his insider only site.

    Like that BS turnaround near the half court line from Brandon Roy (in 0.3sec!) vs us. The time keeping is so ridiculous in the league, you can barely chuck up a straight shot in that time and you have game winners in under 0.5sec where players do a full body move before shooting.

    It's time for the NBA to move to hundredths of a second.

    tl;dr : it is possible to catch and shoot in less than 0.3.

    I bet they felt like how we felt when the NBA apologized for bad fouls during our series against the Blazers; F-U!

    Also, the taller the time keeper the longer it will take the signal to go from his brain to his finger.
