bulls BEAT denver

by njbullsfan09 on Nov 11, 2009 10:57 PM CST

so my friend was trying to break my balls with this video when i noticed something which i had not last night. when watching the replay, pause it at 44 secs. u can see noah catch, possess, and call timeout at .05 secs. hinrich also has called timeout at this point. this should have left .05 or at least .04 secs on the clock last night, which of course means... BULLS WIN!

sure, its over and its a loss and i may be nitpicking, but it makes me feel slightly better. especially since tonight didnt do that. so i guess 10 minutes wasnt enough time for the refs to notice there should have been more time on the clock. maybe they should have kept the interim refs(kidding, kinda).

whats your guys take?

Per NBA rules

at least .3 seconds need to run off the clock in that situation. It removes any home-court advantage and accounts for humanly possible feats.
I don’t know what studies they’ve done but apparently it’s impossible to grab a rebound and call timeout in less than .3 seconds, the same way they’ve always said you need at least .6 (or .8, I can’t remember) seconds to shoot a normal jump shot.

I hate that we lost too

But like SoulEater said, It’s over. Doesn’t do anyone much good to go over the tape again and again.

Hate to be picky

but .04 seconds is less than one tenth of a second. Also, let it go.
