Two out of 10 ain't bad

The Blazers score two of the top ten plays of November:

I'd put Roy's buzzer-beater ahead of Carter's but, hey, I'm not exactly unbiased.

The alley-oop was 10x better than Shaq's play....damn that was awesome.
I want to see more of Sergio/Rudy

Too bad the commentator is a little confused. I believe it was Matt Barnes who was like #5 or so and it said something about him sinking a 3 pointer at the buzzer but the shot clock is clearly at like 15 then on the Vince Carter dunk at #1 he says with .8 seconds left, but when he dunks the ball through you see the clock at like 1.5... GOOD JOB NBA.COM!

Roy should have been #1.

Did anyone else notice they got some of the information wrong? With Barnes, they acted like it was a "buzzer beater", when there was almost 25 seconds left on the clock. And then with Carters alley-oop at the end, they said "all that with .8 seconds left", when it was almost 1.5 seconds to go in the game once the clock stopped AFTER the dunk.

Oooh..what he said.

Carter's dunk was a result of bad defense, as evidenced by the relative ease of it. Defending the rim is rule #1 on a less-than-one second play. Jebus. I know, I'm homering...

Roy also had made the previous shot with 1.5 seconds left (I think it was 1.5). Then Yao made his shot, but thankfully, as it turns out, Roy fouled him, since the clock stopped when the shooting foul was committed.

That was one of the best endings to an NBA game in league history, which makes it being the #2 play in November, after an aging Vince Carter, who the NBA still is trying to pass off as a superstar, even more ridiculous.

There is no reason for Roy not to have been in the #1 slot for the month, and potentially the year, except for Carter still being sold as a superstar.

I was in Seaside for work that night and watched the game in Dundee's. The 7 of us watching went nuts during that entire sequence.
