Chauncey Billups Controversial 3-pointer (5.5.08)

[zach99998]

As someone who used to run a game clock / shot clock, there's not a greater fear than fucking up the clock in the final seconds of a close game.

[2LTime33]

Damn I miss these Pistons

[MrAAllen313]

I miss the old squad : (

[LongboardVIC]

imagine if it were 4th quarter and that was for the win

[Mudosi]

10 seconds passed before he got it off..

[ChuckyFE]

@Mudosi Errr no, I remember watching this game and the broadcast team did their own clock out of speculation and I can't remember exactly but it was somewhere around 5 seconds that the Pistons used. It was either just within 5 seconds or just after 5 seconds... definitely not 10 seconds though.

[Buks10]

missed those pistons players frm back then... had to defeat my lakers in the finals, but still had to respect them.. =)

[Beasthitman2012]

@Buks10 you dont own the lakers do you?

[BlackSabbathory]

Those Pistons teams were very good, and I'm glad that we have one championship... I still can't help but feel disappointed. We had a couple opportunities to win more and just couldn't get it done.

[2pacisthebest90]

it shouldnt have counted

[marquanmr]

@ThaReaper01 boy were you wrong

[animebrawler]

That would have gone off in time and it would have beat the buzzer.

[tokinblckgie]

Man, Chauncey was beasting that series before he got injured.

[adi1096]

@ThaReaper01

Hey you were right you did get beat by the celtics!

[yvesttt]

lol i counted like 6 sec!!!

[JDaKidd101]

I'm the biggest Pistons fan ever, but the shot shouldn't have counted....never the less, nobody really shouldn't be crying bout it either. It be one thing if it was a game winner, but they had 12 minutes!

[YashRamisetty]

look at the time

[tigerhart]

I love how people just assume the Pistons wouldnt have scored if the clock was working. Stuckey passed it back out because he saw 4 seconds or whatever it was on the clock, if it would have said 1 second he would have shot it instead and with the way he was playing he just might have made it himself. So the people that just have the mentality "You gotta take 3 points off the board" are wrong because the whole play would have played out differently if the clocked worked.

[VeneRican1]

FUCK PISTONS

[DPB54]

this is why u hav no friendds

[bronbronface]

they was cheated on that one

[dimedropper1992]

it was only the 3rd quarter

[pacific517]

Dont be hatin cause the pistons where the most conistant winning team in the league

[bronbronface]

they aint now..they've sucked since they got iverson..not saying iverson sucks but they havent done better than they should since the trade

[SamuraiNegro407]

FUCK THE PISTONS!!! Please piston fans give me a thumbs down but i hate your team with a fiery passion, and a pistons fans opinion means nothing to me anyway. GO MAGIC!!!

[corleyATL]

suck my dick "Samurai Negro"

[SamuraiNegro407]

Very creative remark. :D

[guitarplayer407]

GO MAGIC!!

[iloveuall93]

magic sucks all they got is dwight howard and hedo, who is barely a factor most of the time

[SamuraiNegro407]

You are barely a factor most of the time.

[iloveuall93]

LOL THAT WAS SUCH A FIRST GRADER REMARK'

whats next?

"you are a first grader remark?"

HAHAHA LOSER

[SamuraiNegro407]

LOL Whatever internet thug.

[iloveuall93]

lmao i would love to argue with u in person, see what u would say hahahaa loser

[roblesboi21]

31-8 doesn't seem bad to me

[Mac82482]

Thats typical of the Eastern Conference.....There too soft!

[roblesboi21]

Too Soft huh?

The Magic are 19-5 against the Western Conference and have beaten the Lakers twice, the Spurs twice and Denver/ New Orleans once each.

Doesn't sound soft to me!!!

[Mac82482]

YEAH TOO SOFT! Watch how easy they get eliminated in the playoffs! The Pistons beat all those teams, except NO on the Road...... Are they an elite team?????

[Mac82482]

Any team that relies on the 3-pt shot is SOFT........Thats why in the playoffs, the half court, defensive teams win most of the time! Learn about basketball 101 dumbass before u bring stats.......

[roblesboi21]

Ok dumbass the only stat I ever brought is that the Magic are 19-5 vs the Western Confernce and the teams they beat.

I never said anything about defense

ok?

Anyways just lets just wait and see who will get further in the Playoffs

Which WILL be the Magic!!!

[Mac82482]

Number 1 obviously you didnt get my point...... PISTONS SUCK NOW and still beat the top teams in the west! On the Road! No 2 Orlando and Detroit will both get knocked out in the second round. No 3 If Det played Orl in the playoffs that would be an easy win for det lol just like the last 2 yrs........Orlando is detroits biach lol

[Ammaculate44]

You're a genius, the NBA must be full of softies. You must be the greatest player in the world, better than kobe and lebron combined. gg.

[roblesboi21]

Dude the PIstons suck now ever since they got Iverson.

I know it's hard to admit it but the Magic are wayyyy better than them.

[DPB54]

thats why pistons beat magic WITH iverson? in both games , home and away?

[roblesboi21]

Who made it to the finals? and Who got swepted?

ps: I know the magic lost in the finals so dont bring it up

[2007Johnson]

I am a Cavs fan but the only reson y the Magic lost was probally was because of this call and the horribble play of themselves.

[staceyxxoo]

this is the only magic exuse.

How bout saying this: Gee, we didn't play very well, and if we made even 1 or 2 more baskets than we did, we would of won.

Instead you need to complain about this.

Yea, I would be pissed if it was against my team, but what can you do about it now?

Bottom line is the Magic couldn't win on the road, and neither can most of the nba teams.

Pistons all the way!

[gayivistro]

one thing bro. this is not the pistons' fault or chauncey's and that is the problem of the nba committee so dont blame them... and let get back to work DETRRRRRRRROOOOOOOiiiiiiiiiTTT­TTTT BASKETBALL!!!

[FireStarterUT]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. He shut you the fuck up spicer. Haha you're an idiot. Of course the 3 pointer mattered. Your logic behind your math is flawed.

[spicer2308]

ok the magic still had a chance to win and they didnt so maybe they should have just been more poised and won the game after they had the lead and not let us come back and win! PISTONS WON MAGIC LOST . STOP COMPLAINING!

[xiaotong114562283]

this is your only excuse what about we won two games without billups? huh? so? see we still won two games without billups orlando is just not good as the spurs pistons and celtics or lakers

[stantheman2104]

they should not count the game

[spicer2308]

how much did you lose by in this game?? oh 7 and if my math is correct, 7-3=4...you still would have lost!

[Aseldo]

yes but they intentionally fouled to give them 4 extra points, if that basket wouldn't have counted they wouldn't have intentionally fouled.

[twazzer22]

whos to say the pistons wouldnt have scored on those possesions??

[rmcc316]

what bullshit
