.4 seconds

[thispego]

i see alot of laker fans with screen names related to this or are in some way still clinging to this shot.

My question... why? lakers didn't win the cahmpionship that year. That shot basically amounted to nothing. Even Derek Fisher said that the shot ended up meaning nothing because they couldn't go all the way. He said if the Lakers had gone all the way that year it would have been the greatest shot of his life.... Now it's pretty much like sinking a full court shot in practice.. pretty spectacular but ultimataly meaningless.

Sure, it sucked for the Spurs to lose a game like that, but since that shot, the Spurs have won two more titles, and the Lakers none. In that respect, the shot was worthless for the Lakers.

[Ghost Writer]

That shot should've never gotten off.

1. The SPurs had a foul to give.

2. How the hell do you catch, spin and shoot in less than half a second.


More evidence that the League favors the Lakers.

[Lakers Dynasty 2000]

I wouldn't say meaningless... but definitely not as big as say his 3 point barrage on SA a few years back ;)

But I get what you're saying...

i think the only reason they love it so much is because it broke our hearts. My heart was immmediately mended though when the Lakers fell to the pIstons. But Laker fans are still holding on... kinda sad for them

Yea, I don't know why anyone should be proud of that shot, it's illegal.

[MadDog73]

The truth is, the Spurs didn't lose because of 0.4.

They lost because Tony had no jump shot.

That's all changed now...

[Summers]

The shot was good; it's been timed. Even The Devil has to obey the rules.

[Discoflux]

It was a miraculous sports moment in purple and gold.
No reason to discount great moments because of not winning the championship.
Breaking one of our biggest rivals hearts is reward enough.
League favoritism toward the Lakers? Watch the tape. Everything went like clockwork. Typical hater thing to say.

SO STUPID REDNECK TELL ME HOW DID YOU DO IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

GEE YOU REDNECKS ARE DUMB

[0.4secs.Dfish]

Well for this forum it seemed like a great name....maybe I should have put 3peat or 14championships...but 0.4secs sounded good..

we dont need to discuss how much bullshit the shot was. it's been done. not the point of the thread.

Well, it's all they have right now...the Lakers haven't won any titles since 2002. BTW, the 2004 Finals beatdown of the Lakers is one of the many reasons I like the Pistons. :hat

[Ghost Writer]

What is the point of the thread then?

You got a bunch of Lakers fans paying homage to a shot that should never even happened.


They started the clock after Fisher caught the ball and began contorting to shoot.

You can't catch, spin and shoot in less than half a second.

We all know that it is physically impossible to catch, spin, and shoot in .4 seconds. Duncan's shot should have been the last shot with the time expiring completely. that's not what went down for reasons that can't be explained. The point of the thread is to find out why and how and if Lakers fans are (STILL) proud of this shot... even though it ultimately resulted in nothing

[0.4secs.Dfish]

Haha like I said.....its a good name for this forum..Im not clinging to that momet..Im clinging more to 14 chammpionships, a 3 peat and having the best record in the West..also Im clinging to the fact that we won game 1....
but clinging to that shot not really..its just a great name to piss you guys off

[thispego]

Well for this forum it seemed like a great name....maybe I should have put 3peat or 14championships...but 0.4secs sounded good..

might as well have tried the other names. Those actually mean something in the grand scheme of things

I don't usually like to root against a team just because they beat my team, but damn it felt good to see the pistons win in 5.

[MadDog73]

and, most Spurs fans realize, .4 didn't cost us the series.

It was one game of 6.

[Dopey310]

0.4 ruined the Spurs chances of a three peat. I'd say it has plenty of relevance for the Spurs. You're right about the Lakers though, it doesn't mean shit in the bigger picture for us.

[0.4secs.Dfish]

Wow now thats all you have...you guys were all over me when you thought that my whole life revolved around that shot..now all you can say is haha funny....sarcasm.....remember that you guys arent the class of the league......you guys have along ways to catch us in rings...and yes Boston has more then us but we will catch them and pass them.....

[Dopey310]

The fact that they created this thread proves its relevance. If that shot doesn't bother the Spurs, why even have this discussion.

Yeah it bothered me back then with all the controvery surrounding it but that was 4 years ago and i got closure knowing the shot didnt result in a championship for you. I dont even think about it until some Lakers chodes come in here boasting about a shot that didnt amount to shit. Just funny that y'all still cling to it, that's all.

Yea the fact that you needed "closure" is all I needed to know. So why front like it didn't mean anything? That shot was the last memory between the Spurs-Lakers rivalry and since the Spurs and Lakers are playing against each other in the playoffs again, it's obvious why some fans are talking about it.

[J.T.]

Spurs fans still complaining about the illegality of .4 need to take a long, hard look in the mirror the next time they tell Sunsfan that their boys still had two chances to win the '07 series after the Amare and Diaw suspensions. Spurs still had two games they could have won in that series against LA but they lacked outside shooting for when LA packed the lane on Tony.

[LakeShow]

Well for this forum it seemed like a great name....maybe I should have put 3peat or 14championships...but 0.4secs sounded good..

:lmao They'll just find something else to bitch about. .04 is appropriate. This is the first time that the lakers have faced the Spurs in the playoffs since that memorable day! The faces on the spurs and fans after ..04 was priceless!

[0.4secs.Dfish]

yes I said that I took the Lakers to all those championships....typical talk from a loser teams fan...I would have respected that comment of yours more if it came from a Spurs fan

not my last memory between Spurs-Lakers. I remember feigning interest in the big-screen tv showing game 6 while I was looking at naked chicks at my buddy's bachelor party in Houston... but anyways.. yes we needed closure after being essentially knocked out by a bogus .4 second shot. I needed closure that the Miami Heat provided in 2006 after witnessing the most bogusly officiated series in the history of history two rounds earlier.

But as they say... the ball dont lie.

[Staff Sgt. Dignam]

Karma already slapped the Lakers in the mouth that year because they were thoroughly dismantled in the Finals. That's one of the reasons I respect the Pistons and all of their fans here, because they brought the house down on LA that year.

The Lakers are a bunch of lace curtain, jealous mother fuckers that wish their shitty franchise out there in loser California could be as successful as the C's and the great city of Boston.

Easy to say when you weren't on the receiving end. Can you think of a play that has ever been more controversial?

[Dopey310]

Umm. how was it controversial? Heart breaking, yeah. The shot was good, show me a video that proves the shot wasn't off in time and you're on to something.

[rAm]

it was off in time that's no question, but it physically isn't possible to shoot a turn around shot in .4 seconds. I believe the rule is anything under .5 has to be a tip-in or something, I may be mistaken.

You can't just allow the clock to start late due to "human error", there needs to be a rule of what type of shot is allowed to be put up in time frames such as .4 fucking seconds.

[TampaDude]

Horry's hipcheck of Nash last year? :lol

[0.4secs.Dfish]

a more controversial play was Horry not getting ejected for purposely trying to injure David West....He knew what he was trying to do..and you dont lean in on a pick especially when the guy is in the air......
if that was Kobe with the illegal shoulder to the back people would be crying about it for years

Lmao... just because the Lakers have been succesful, we aren't allowed to be fans or something? So since I grew up in the So Cal area I'm not allowed to root for the local team, should I root for the Clippers because that way I won't be a "frontrunner". That's just a fucken lame excuse for bitter fans such as yourself. There's plenty of "frontrunnin" Spurs fans these days as well, I can't blame the die hard Spurs fans for that. That's just how it goes. When a team start winning, they get more badnwaggoners. Doesn't make the fans that were there from the beginning any less of a fan. I started rooting for the Lakers when Eddie Jones was drafted, we weren't winning shit at the time and I was too young to watch the Showtime Lakers. Fans don't need to fucken apologize because the team that they root for is successful. They're just lucky to be along for the ride.

[0.4secs.Dfish]

It doesnt take a courageous man to set a back pick on someone who isnt even looking and is up in the air........
typical Spurs play....i.e Horry on Nash.....

[SPARKY]

eh, this isn't about the success of a particular franchise, even though it's been 6 years since that franchise last managed to win a championship. It's about little douchebags such as yourself trolling in this forum and posting stupid shit. I guess you're "winning" something by doing so.

I'd hope so, because odds are you don't have much else going for you.

Attacking me doesn't make your point any more relevant, just proves what an insecure little bitch you are. Laker fans are dedicated to their team just like Spurs fans are. You're the hypocrite by calling us "frontrunners" then pointing out how we haven't "done shit in 6 years". If the Lakers haven't been successful for so long, what makes us such "frontrunners".

First of all, he wasn't in the fetal position, and if Kobe got popped in the eye like that, he'd be crying to the refs to call a Flagrant 2 on the guy...Kobe is a little backstabbing primadonna bitch, and you know it...and he'll never win another ring...book it.

Hell no we don't diss Gervin...the Iceman is a legend. I'm a Redskins fan, too, and while Sonny Jurgensen never won a Super Bowl, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest Redskins, and NFL QBs, of all time.

DRob entered the NBA in 1989...and you are probably thinking of his 71-point game against the Clippers on the last day of the 1994 season that clinched the scoring title for him over Shaq that year.

NEW YORK -- Kobe Bryant was suspended one game without pay by the NBA on Tuesday and missed the Lakers' loss to the Knicks after his long-shot bid for a hearing was denied.
Bryant was penalized for striking San Antonio's Manu Ginobili in the face late in the Lakers' loss to the Spurs on Sunday.

[Dopey310]

No, we only use that argument when Lakers fans trot out their "14 Championships", most of which were won before they were even born. :lol

:lol I never used the 14 Championship angle , I do use the "we won a three peat and you guys never repeated" because I actually witnessed that. I wish I was around to see Showtime though . Must've been fun. My dad used to tell me stories.

[thispego]

So we are in agreement here? .4 is old news and lakers fans aren't really proud of it because it didn't result in a championship. They just bring it up now because they think it hurts Spurs fans feeling? Excellent. Thread over.

next topic of discussion coming soon...

[fyatuk]

it was off in time that's no question, but it physically isn't possible to shoot a turn around shot in .4 seconds. I believe the rule is anything under .5 has to be a tip-in or something, I may be mistaken.

That's neat, but Fisher caught the inbounds pass high up, turned around, then shot...NFW that was in .4 seconds...the clock started late...Lakers got a gift...of course, karma's a bitch...

:lol I never used the 14 Championship angle , I do use the "we won a three peat and you guys never repeated" because I actually witnessed that. I wish I was around to see Showtime though . Must've been fun. My dad used to tell me stories.

Yeah, Magic Johnson was just that...MAGIC...that was an amazing team. :toast

[0.4secs.Dfish]

So we all agree that the Lakers dont are about .4 secs as much as the Spurs do....

I think this series is a critical series in the Laker-Spurs rivalry.....
yes the Lakers dominated the early 2000's and the Spurs dominated the rest...I think if the Spurs win the championship this year it will guarantee them team of the 2000's but if we win this year and stay competitive the next few years that we will be the dominant team....
just my opinion

[rAm]

a more controversial play was Horry not getting ejected for purposely trying to injure David West....He knew what he was trying to do..and you dont lean in on a pick especially when the guy is in the air......

Agreed. Btw I hate both teams. I hope for a long enduring 7 game series and whoever comes out of the east is fresh. :toast

[SpurOutofTownFan]

people are afraid of calling this the right way but the Spurs got robbed that day. If it was another team they would have never allowed that to go in the books as it did.

[Tradition]

.4 is forgotton about in my book. It doesnt mean shit since the finals assraping. Now Kobe shutting down the Alamodome for good with a game winner and clutch 3 pointers, that is something I like to hang onto. Great moment.:king

but again, if you guys go the the finals and get raped again by the pistons.. why to remember that again?

Is Larry Brown coming back to coach in the finals if this matchup happens? Are Malone/Payton/Shaq coming back to the Lakers? Do the Lakers have any ego issues on the verge of causing the team to implode?

Unless any of those happen, 2004 wont repeat itself. If we can beat the spurs 4 times, we can beat the wannabe spurs with a unproven playoff coach 4 times as well.

Yea, I don't know why anyone should be proud of that shot, it's illegal.

Says you.

Nobody on the planet - including the league - agrees with you.

But continue in your myopic ways.

And we'll help you remember the moment with our screen names.

[SpursDynasty]

It's funny both that the Laker fans still hang on to the .4 shot AND that Spurs fans are still pissed about it..we've gone on to win 2 championships in the next three seasons since then....incredible.

hahaha, your post is comical at best.

Its our time. Can you dig it?
Go Lakers!

Spurs in 6... :flag:

[Trainwreck2100]

In 2006 Brent Barry made an awesome shot against the King and nobody remembers it because they lost. Same thing will go for Tim's 3 against the Suns. Fisher's shot accomplished nothing but to get em a ticket to be raped by the Pistons

i will probably not give tim's 3 another thought if we end up losing this series or next

[Lakers08Champs]

Stop the hatin...hahaha

[Zero Point Four]

That's neat, but Fisher caught the inbounds pass high up, turned around, then shot...NFW that was in .4 seconds...the clock started late...Lakers got a gift...of course, karma's a bitch...

I believe this qualifies as crybaby of the day.

Actually, no.

After the Lakers win tonight, the Spurs would have to win four out of the next, say, approximately four games in order to accomplish that.

So let's be realistic.

The best you can hope for is that the Spurs lose with grace.

But lose they do.

Wow, you're great at math. Been there, done that (against NO, though).

Be realistic.

[cindyp601]

anyone got pics of kobe crying the year the spurs ended their hopes of going to the finals?? those pics crack me up

[O-Factor]

0.4 is sooooo 2004

I believe this qualifies as crybaby of the day.

Crybaby? For stating the facts? You fail. :lol

[TampaDude]

Spurs in 6...still... :flag:

[manufor3]

That shot should've never gotten off.

1. The SPurs had a foul to give.

2. How the hell do you catch, spin and shoot in less than half a second.


More evidence that the League favors the Lakers.

Wrong, they favor the FAKERS

[ballhog]

Haha like I said.....its a good name for this forum..Im not clinging to that momet..Im clinging more to 14 chammpionships, a 3 peat and having the best record in the West..also Im clinging to the fact that we won game 1....
but clinging to that shot not really..its just a great name to piss you guys off

A more appropriate name would have been "shot that never should have happened had the timekeeper started the clock on time".
