Have we named 'The Shot' yet?

[sharkenleo]

We've got the Midnight Miracle, what should Tony's be called?

[Venti Quattro]

:lmao are you kidding me :lmao

These are the kinds of threads that are gonna be bumped into submission if the Spurs lose the series to Miami.

+1

[sharkenleo]

No reason we can't name the shot. It'll be nice to have the name drawn up and ready to go when/if we win the series. :toast

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I would just call it the "0.1." Like Derek Fisher's "0.4."

[sharkenleo]

0.4 still haunts me.

On Bended Knee

[lil'mo]

how about bull shit luck shot? Will you stupid asses shut the fuck up already?

[Staplepuffs27]

Bill Schoening has officially named it the South Beach Stumble.

That's terrible. Hate it.

[Darius McCrary]

This place will reach a new low this offseason if this is the conversation we're having in the finals.

[Darius Bieber]

"D-Day Dagger"

[Man In Black]

I coined it the MILLISECOND

[ThaBigFundamental21]

On bended knee is pretty sick.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Or the millisecond miracle.

[spurraider21]

I like D-Day Dagger. FYI i'm a big fan of 4 minute miracle instead of "breakfast shot" or "breakfast game" or whatever the hell people are saying

[sharkenleo]

Will we shut up about the game-winning shot? Why should we? Why would a Bulls fan come to a Spurs forum anyway?

If you're calling firsties, you need a time machine.

The French Kiss

Parker is French and he kissed it off the backboard and rim before it fell in

[Man In Black]

I ain't claiming firsties. I'm claiming I like the name The Millisecond and if that is used, I should get credit. Ultimately, the media is going to call it something and I'm hoping the call it The Millisecond :)

[mudyez]

if we get #5, it should be named "the millisecond clincher" (nothing too special as it was stupid heroball and we were up +2 at this point anyway).

if we lose the series, just forget about it!

what a run this year: first "the screaming lady game"...then "the millisecond clincher"...and finally "the timmy time travel tomahawk" (wait for it! it's coming!!!)

[Sean Cagney]

If we lose 4 straight games , the shot is gonna be meaningless

He wants to kill our joy like DelicatedRose killed his bulls

Y'all sound so gay. Let me tell you about the last time the spurs were in the finals. Pm me.

[cjw]

Difference was Fisher never actually got that shot off - ball was just inbounded with 0.4. Parker's play took a whole "26 seconds".

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Maybe we should call it "23.9" then.

Not sure if it will be official but I like it

[Sausage]

Irrelevant, if the Spurs don't win the series.

[Spurious]

I think this is sort of like a nickname. You can't give yourself one unless you want to come across as a prima donna...or a dork. Maybe a combination of the two. If that shot proves historically relevant, let the outside world christen it something other than "that amazing panic shot Tony Parker made as the shot clock expired at the end of Game 1 in 2013."

[Russ]

As cinematic as Parker's shot was, it wasn't a game-winner like Horry's or Eliott's or even Manu's this season.

The media (ever eager for a story) act as if the Spurs lose if that shot doesn't go. Spurs fans should know better.

In fact, at worst, the Spurs are up 2 and Miami has the ball with 5.2 seconds left -- likely less than 5.2 if the ball clangs off the rim and a time-consuming scramble ensues. The Spurs might have snagged the offensive rebound -- game over.

Aesthetically, it was a 10. But the odds were at least 3-1 that the Spurs win even if TP misses that shot. That's why it doesn't get to that next level of discussion unless you're just trying to spin things.

You do remember that there were still 9.5 seconds left after Sean made that shot? It was only a "game winner" because Portland couldn't score on it's last possession. If Tony's shot doesn't go down, I like Miami's chances of at least going to overtime. Hand it to LeBron, and let him freight-train to the rim. What do you do? Let him go to tie the game, or defend hard and take a chance on it being a 3-point play to win the game?

I don't know what the media is saying, but I said from the start that IF the Spurs go on to win it all, that shot will be a permanent part of Spurs lore. Winning Game 1 is HUGE. And having a 4 point lead vs. a 2 point lead was huge, because it left Miami without time to run that play to LeBron, and still have time for another possession. Go back through the game thread, and I guarantee you nobody was breathing easy until we found out that shot was going to count. For the most part, getting that close and then having it jerked away at the very end takes a lot out of a team. The Spurs needed points on that possession, and that was about as clutch as it gets.

We can agree to disagree, but I don't think you're going to convince too many people that it was just another shot.


Not a sig... just an interesting image.

[sharkenleo]

Precisely. It was a HUGE shot no matter how you slice it. To act like it wasn't is plain stupid.

[DMC]

It was a big shot, because of how Tony was trapped, but it didn't necessarily win the game for them. It just capped off an amazing performance by the Frenchman.

Since Parker has one eye, I called it the "One Eyed jack beats the King" shot, since he jacked it up.

[rascal]

I don't know what the big deal about the shot was. It was not some acrobatic lucky shot, just a clutch shot, really nothing special about the shot at face value.

[Aztecfan03]

So it has to be lucky to be famous and get praise and such?

[Budkin]

The thing is, that shot won't mean anything unless we win the title. Sure it'll be remembered. But it will have about the same significance as Tim's pre-0.4 shot.

[NRHector]

KSAT is doing a poll and some of the choices are the sameones that we have in this forum

[CosmicCowboy]

It only gets a name if the Spurs win the series.
