Does it matter that the shot took more than 1.2 seconds to get off? Not much to me seeing as Lillard was inbounds on the previous play.

Actually only 0.58 seconds (why yes, I counted frames from catch to release).

I'd be happy if that is true.

But I counted frames too (maybe not the correct way) using Windows Media Player. I got 128 clicks from catch to release and 80 clicks from 0.8 to 0.0.

Tell my what you used to get 0.58 seconds.

He got it off in under .6. lillard has a damn quick release and showed it their

Whatever the argument with seconds, I just know it went in when it should. All the hopes and dreams of Houston fans were destroyed in that "less than a second" drop in their face
 
I counted and got to "one-one" in saying "one-one thousand." It was caught and shot in one motion. Not sure why anyone would think it took longer than .9 seconds to get the shot off.

I know it's possible for Dame to get off a shot that fast. But I'm counting frames and I don't think he did in this case. Love to be proven wrong though.

Here is my reason:

1. I downloaded video of the shot.
2. Loaded into windows media player.
3. Right-click | Enhancements | Play Speed settings
4. Used the single step button and counted 80 clicks from 0.8 to 0.0 seconds
5. Used the single step button and counted 128 clicks for Lillard to catch and shoot.

So 1.28 seconds.

Hear hear... I mean shit man, Portland fans can replay the out if bounds play, multiple goaltendings, and various bogus calls.

So glad we aren't on the other end of the scoreboard here.

Yeah... I agree.... or bball karma.... they lost because Lillard was inbounds on the previous play and it was a "ball don't lie" situation. And Howard grabbed LA and hurled him out of the play on the rebound put-back on the play before that one.

Yeah man, I'm just glad we are on the other end this time. Hell game 3 was a complete rob when Lin was able to tackle mo for the steal. If that was a foul, this would have been a sweep.

It's nice to be on the brighter side of the spectrum.

I'll count again, but I'm pretty sure you're no doing it right. First off, you're not going frame by frame if 128 frames = 1.28 seconds. Video isn't 100 frames a second. If you're watching the slo-mo video, you gotta realize they adjust the speed during the play, slow during the shot, then faster while it's in the air.

I'll count the regular speed file I downloaded and confirm or refute the current evidence.

Yes it's probably not frame by frame. It's click by click in Windows Media Player (whatever a click does). But I used 0.8 to 0.0 to establish that 80 clicks = 0.8 seconds. So as long as Media Player is consistent...

Did you use a slo-mo clip?

No that wasn't the one I used... the one I used was better quality... I have it downloaded but I'm not sure where I got it anymore. But yes, it was slow mo.

Use actual game footage, not slo-mo. Slo-mo replay guys adjust the speed of the slo-mo artistically, so it's not going to be consistent from moment to moment how fast or slow the action is.

And I don't mean to be presumptuous, but are you counting from when the ball touches Lillard's hands?

Didn't realize you used a slo mo video, so disregard my post about fps. But, you can't really take an altered video and break it down like that. How do you know that the slo mo was consistent throughout the clip?
 
Ok I found it... this is the one I used.

I don't for sure. That's why I posted. I would be happy if someone proved otherwise. But it's unlikely the speed changed during that interval.
