Blazers ACTUALLY lost yesterday...

Welcome to our community

Be a part of something great, join today!

Oh...thanks, nobody has mentioned that to me :sigh: :devilwink:

Strange, since it is a rather obvious point. The clock stops on any whistle.

So, the clock shouldn't have kept running through the entire shot attempt. Why do you feel Portland actually lost??

I've read this thread and I re-read it and all I keep wondering is this:

Why did the Blazers ACTUALLY lose?

I'm no expert on the rules of the NBA, but I believe that when a whistle blows, the clock should stop. Assuming that my understanding is correct (and I should probably research it just to be sure, but I'm sure someone in this thread can correct me if I'm wrong in believing that the clock should stop when a ref blows her/his whistle, so the clock stopped in accordance with the rules when the ref blew his whistle to indicate that Yao Ming was fouled by Brandon Roy on the field goal attempt) then the Blazers actually WON because the clock should stop, as it did, when the ref blew the whistle with 0.8 seconds left in the overtime period.

So DaRizzle... can you clarify what your thinking is here?

I think what Darizzle is trying to say is that he personally was watching the game and saw the clock stop on Yao's shot before it went through the hoop. He mentions this because if the clock kept running until the ball went through the hoop, then there would not be .8 left on the clock. Thus the Blazer, and Roy should not have had .8 left, the clock person was wrong and basically cheated to give the Blazers a win and they actually should have lost the game.

Did I get that right Darizzle?
 
I think subconsciously he knew that the Blazers won, but was tricked by his mind because of his blate. (Blazer hate)
 
lol...brain fart!


MY BAD!!!!

I think the clock stops when a fou .... oh, was this mentioned already?
 
I feel your pain Rizz. But I'm compelled to help out with your sig, you be'n a Laker fan and all.

Never been owned....until the day the entire Blazer forum owned me.
 
no man you cant be serious the clock stopped because of the whistle when yao got fouled. blazers won legitimately.
 
Its recorded as a W in the books and thats all that matters now but look...

Look at what the clock does when Yao shoots his shot with SUPPOSEDLY 0.8 seconds left.

THE CLOCK STOPS WHEN THE BALL IS HALFWAY TO THE RIM!!!

...its nice to have a hometown guy running the clock :devilwink:

BRAIN FART....DISREGARD MY STUPID POINT!


I saw that and was about to make a similar post, until I remembered the whistle stops the clock.

Um, dude...that's already been pointed out ad nauseum and DaRizzle already said he was wrong.
 
I'd just like to take this moment to point out that Derek Fisher did not get the buzzer beating shot off in time during Game 5 of the 2004 Playoff series against San Antonio. It was that sequence where Duncan hit an off-balance jumper while being guarded by Shaq, then followed by Fisher hitting a turnaround jumper. I took that one to the frames myself and he didn't get it off in .4 of a second based on the frame rates assuming the clock had been started properly.
