Please say what do you think. Was this shot good or not?


Watch recap and the Miller buzzer beater here.

I think that this was a bad call from the refs after the game. First they say that the shot was good. Only to say no good some minutes later? This was really close. I feel that it was good.

From the YouTube video it's definitely arguable, and I agree it was really close, but I saw Sportscenter and they had close-ups of Miller's hand still on the ball when the red lights were on - he definitely didn't get the shot off on time.

Someone could argue that the refs should have put more or less than 0.3 seconds back on the clock after Billups missed the free throw and someone could also argue that the refs shouldn't use instant replay or take 10 minutes to decide, etc., etc., but as far as whether Miller's shot left his hand before the red lights came on - that's actually definitely a no.

That's the first time I've seen that vid. I say bucket, game over. Brad's shot shoulda counted. Those refs made a mistake. If Derrick Fisher gets a spinning 180 fadaway counted with .4 seconds left, a simple catch and flick should count too.

It appeared to me that he was still touching the ball when the clock hit zero. Hard to tell for sure from that video.

You know that Fisher shot always used to bother me being a Spurs fan. How can a guy catch, jump, turn and shoot a perimeter shot with less than .4 seconds. Then I talked to his wife and she assured me that he takes less than half a second to score all the time.

His hand was still on the ball.
