Has a player ever made this bad of a play and this good of a play in the same game?

Exactly. What a lame post by spurraider21. Flood the thread and make NO point whatsoever.

I think he is saying it's a horrible in shot no matter how you spin it.

What's the rule for goaltending? Not even a smidge of the ball can be in the cylinder when you tip it?

IIRC, the ball cannot be over the cylinder when you touch it. Even if it's clearly coming off the rim, it can't be touched until it's no longer above the cylinder at all.

Horry did it a lot of times.

I don't believe I was spinning anything. I posted a clear picture showing Splitter being fouled by two players on the shot attempt. I admit when I was watching the game live that when he shot it, I cursed him for always going up seemingly so softly, but that picture from that angle seems like at least a small justification for the shot being so far off.

Given that it was a game winner, I think the refs, even reviewing the vid after the game, would say it was "let 'em play" play call, like they don't call lots of fouls, violations in the closing seconds. eg, fish blatantly clobbering bones' 3G on the last shot of the game, no FTs, Spurs lose.

To me, that's the definition of a "soft" player: any nudge or niggle while they're shooting dramatically alters their shot. A player that goes up "strong" is able to withstand significantly more contact & still make the shot.

I agree, as I would rather he tried to dunk it than finesse it in so much.

So from the top-down replay it looks like that was actually a missed goaltending call, no?

NVM.
