It's probably happened to every team, genius. Try to stay focused.
btw, contrary to Mavfan stereotype . . . I don't live in SA, I'm not fat nor a Mexican.
I do know that you, however, look like a Matt Bonner/Justin Bieber test tube baby.
Pretty sure its the last minute of every quarter, no? But regardless do you go back and add all up all the tenths lost during every made shot during that final minute??
And Fisher was not in a shooting motion when he caught it. He caught it in the air, at his hip, and had to land. With his back to the basket. Then he had to go back up, bring the ball up to the top of his head, and release. While having to turn around and even faded some to avoid Manu. There were too many motions involved for it to be your typical catch and shoot, much less for it to be faster.

Yes, it's every quarter and overtimes. And no you don't add up tenths. The ruling by the refs on Duncan's shot was wrong, should have been fixed, and today would definitely have been, so whining about Fisher's shot is moot.
Anybody who thinks 0.4 was legit needs to never talk to me again please, I deal with enough dumb asses on a daily basis.
Why add up those tenths on that particular shot, but not others lost in the last minute of that 4th quarter or the previous 3 quarters? How does that make any kind of sense?? Something like that is rarely reviewed btw, I dont recall seeing a ref check the clock after a made basket. Seems unlikely to me that that would happen today, especially when it wasnt blatantly obvious that the clock ran too long after Timmy's basket...a 0.4 (time that was lost) reaction by the clock guy after the the ball goes in isnt something that will usually warrant a review imho.
And Im not whining, whats done is done. Im just saying its pretty ridiculous to say Fish's shot was good or that it was faster than a typical catch and shoot.
Had the Grizz won by 4, no one would care. Had the Spurs won, no one would care.
Let it go.
Oh my God! Someone shot OJ Mayo??
Yeah. He just couldn't cut the mus .
The mayo shot doesn't bother me fro that video, the other stuff does. I thought the reffing would be picked up this season after last the two years' debacle but I guess that was wishful thinking.
Where do you get off saying TD's shot was at .8??? It was .4, the refs reveiwed the play and set clock at the correct time which was .4. You jusy make up to suit yourself.
Fish did not catch and shoot as already noted. The Spurs won that game, I have no doubt in my mind.
Whatever delusion makes you happy. There's not any part of your post that's remotely correct.
Nahh, there was no ref reviews back then. And there was 0.8 left right when Timmy's shot went through.
Fish's shot wasnt good though
Two simple questions:
1.Has there ever been a ref review after a made basket, especially one after which minimal time was lost because of simple human reaction ?
2.How can you possibly say Fisher's release was equal much less faster, considering he had his back to the basket and all the motions he had to do to get that shot off ?
1.At the time of that shot, all the refs reviewed was if the ball left Fisher's hand before the clock expired. It did, and the shot was good.
2.Go back and watch. It was basically one motion. The NBA rulebook states that if there's .3 left on the clock then you have time to catch and shoot. That's 3/4 of the time that Fisher had. I'm not sure where you think his back was to the basket.
If you're going to make an argument that his shot took longer than a typical jumper, then you should probably point out the extra time the ball was in his hands due to the nature of his shot.
The clock started after he caught ball and landed on his two feet. It started a half second too late, thatr is my point.
Timvp did a review of the play afterwards that proved that the clock started too late, that was only way that Fisher could possibly get ball off within .4 secs. It was not catch and shoot, numbnuts.
Here is Youtube of last few seconds.

You can see TD's shot was through the net at .4 secs, not .8 secs. I suppose you will argue that video evidence is incorrect.

It's funny to see the affect Fisher's shot still has on some people after 7 years![]()
It's embarrassing.
This is because, the Spurs always had one glaring event that could have cost them a repeat.
In 2000, it was the meniscus tear, another time it wasDA's shoulder separation after the cheap shot flagrant foul by Mavs, Another time, it was the horrible foul by Manu on Dirk that gave them the 3 point play to tie game, a game that they won in OT. Worst of all was the shot by Fisher, after TD made what we thought was the game winning and probably series winning shot(Spurs would have been up 3-1)
All these bad luck, heart wrenching events are burned into we true Spurs fan's very souls.
Take away 3 of these horrible events, and the Spurs could easily be trying for their 8th ring in 12 years.

No, you are embarrassing, because you are an idiot.
lol thinking Derek Anderson would've saved you in 2001. In 2000 if Duncan doesn't get injured towards the end of the season the best San Antonio would've finished is 3rd, having to go through Portland and then LA. Forget about 2000 and 2001...Outside of Games 5 and 6 of the 2000 WCF, Lakers were untouchable those years. Especially 2001--Not even God would've saved you in that series![]()
7 years, and the call was right. It's time to move on.
Which call was right?
