Hollinger wrote that ESPN timed it and it took 1.6 seconds for Roy to catch and shoot the ball.

Look at the clock in this pic.....Brandon Roy has already caught the ball, turned around and squared up and the clock has not even started, the Rockets got screwed.

Lol.
Home cooking baby!
The clock keeper was a member of the Illuminati
isn't this the reason the introduced the instant replay?
Fisher did it in 0.4 sec in a playoff game and you're whining?
I am of the opinion that anything under 1 second is impossible to get a shot off. It'd be like you'd have to be a vollyball player. Ball touches your hand and you have to just punch it in the direction of the hoop. Impossible in less than 1 sec to set your feet, square up, shoot the ball.
That is what I thought, I mean it is fairly obvious.....and I am with you on Fisher, I think the Spurs got screwed too.

Definitely a screwjob but you've gotta expect that being in Portland on Kevin Duckworth night.
Isn't instant replay just to see if the shot got off in time? I don't know if they can do anything about the clock starting a half-second or so too late, is it possible to wave the shot off for that?
rockets fail
You're a ing dumb .
And you need to pull that rod outta your rear
Looks like you have a legitimate beef. But like picnroll said, I'd rather have bad luck like this occur now than in the playoffs.
it only took yao 0.8 to make his shot?
Perhaps this is all considered normal -- there's bound to be a lag time before the clock operator triggers the start -- but as long-time Portland columnist Dwight Jaynes told me after the game, "I want that guy to time the rest of my life."
Seeking supporters on that argument on a Spurs-related board seems like an exercise in futility to me. Particularly when you're dealing with a relatively meaningless Game 5 of the regular season on the road and not a pivotal Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals at home, after one of the most incredible (and now forgotten) shots in playoff history.
I don't know Mono, but you would think they would have some la ude as to the timekeeping, maybe put something on the officials to make them start and stop the clock?

Roy's shot was still nothing less of incredible, especially considering it was his second clutch basket of the night. It deserved the win.
Its so much easier to time when the basketball touched Roys hand in real life then using the slow motion replay.
Actually I think there were 2.8 seconds on the Yao play....and when he got fouled the stopped the clock....which was right....the problem is the timekeeper did not start the clock with Roy touched the ball....and he made an amazing shot.

There was actually 1.7 on the clock when they inbounded to Yao.
If Yao can catch, post, and shoot a turnaround J in .9 seconds, then Roy can catch, turn, and shoot in .8.
May i add..slowly catch and shoot a turn around J.
yep, lets hear ya say that when it's the Spurs who are getting hosed with 0.5 seconds on the shot clock.
The difference is that Yao got fouled while shooting, which stops the clock immediatly and he got a continuation basket.
Please don't confuse the issue...one was a legal play within the legitimate time of the game.
The other was a fantastic shot that should not have counted.
