that makes sense...good call. What a heartbreaking loss. I don't think I'm gonna watch the games AND visit Clutch at the same time anymore. Way too much negativity....disappointing to me. Any word on Landry?
True. We did not deserve the win. To think that we could have squeaked it out without that freaking shot!!!! If we were going to lose anyways, some psychic should have told T-Mac not to try...wasted effort. Just kidding, of course. ^
People who are comparing Fisher's shot with Yao's are oblivious. Yes Fisher's shot was good with .4 BUT Yao did a catch, fadeaway, and1 and the time ends right when the ball goes into the goal. Fishers shot would've been longer than .4 had there been more time on the clock.
I'm watching this on my DVR and going crazy here. The delay is obvious. Ever since the Derek Fisher shot against the Spurs they've been instructed to pay closer attention to this.
We should be mad at the defense on that last play. Mainly T-Mac for letting Roy get free. You can't really defend luck.
I also think the clock did not start on time at the 38 sec mark and roy had moved the ball from the back court, the game should have been over
t-mac was playing off of roy giving him plenty of room, he should've been on him like white on rice and not to mention two guys should've been covering Roy. To have Yao play on the inbound man was just dumb. Sure he he has length but hes not going to be quick enough to make a play on the ball. Two people should've have been guarding Roy, but yet he still had a WIDE OPEN shot no matter the distance and look what happened.
How about someone deny Roy the ball in the first place. How about not having the game come down to that in the first place? Win the game for yourself, don't let a play like that decide it in the first place.
The clock didn't start right when it hit Roy's hands but that's home cooking. Regardless, we really didn't deserve to win.
no, actually, to be fair, yao got fouled before he took the shot, they whistled it before so the .8 was good
We are a little lost. What are we? More precisely Yao is taking breaks in the game. It's on Yao right now. I want to see him down low waving for the ball like he used to. I don't really care about this loss and I actually think more losses are on the way, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Offense still has to go through Yao.
I have to agree. This has to be reviewed by the NBA the shot was almost in the basket before the horn sounded. in .8 secs, looks more like 2.8. to me
Our last few offensive possesions were weak anyway...back to the same ole McGrady dribble dribble dribble dribble...shoot a 21footer. Why do we bother calling timeouts when we aren't gonna run a play?
yeah i'd love to know the plan there. lets let roy run wide open to get the ball. tmac standing there like he had something better to do, telling artest to switch. artest not paying attention. and then roy getting lucky as hell to make the shot when he couldn't shoot all night.
So from catch to turn around and shoot he took 1.1 seconds. Its not hard to imagine a catch and shoot in .8 seconds for a guy that can turn around much faster than Yao. I havn't seen the video, so I'll shut up if they start the clock like .5 seconds late or something. .1 or .2 seconds isn't anything. You can't expect a score keeper to have cat like reflexes.
Agreed...everyone in the building knew Roy was gonna get it. How did we not smother him and force someone else to take a long jumper??
