unsa inyo masulti atong controversy sa game 2 sa detroit - orlando nga game? kato 4.8 seconds sa 3rd quarter, nga ni-stop ang clock... unya gi-count ang three points ni billups?

minusan na lang ug 3 points ang final score sa Detroit..

so mahimo ng Det 97 - Orl 93..

The NBA has finally given out its side about the clock malfunction during the end of the third quarter during the Detroit-Orlando game where Chauncey Billups hit a three.

“After reviewing the video of last night’s Pistons-Magic game, we determined that the play that concluded with Chauncey Billups’ three-point field goal at the end of the third quarter took approximately 5.7 seconds. Because there were only 5.1 seconds remaining in the quarter when the play began, the shot would not have counted had the clock continued to run.

"The referees followed proper procedure in addressing the clock malfunction by estimating the elapsed time and using their judgment as to whether the shot was taken in time. Under NBA rules, the referees did not have the option of using instant replay and a timing device to determine exactly how much time had elapsed, nor do the rules allow for a re-play after a clock malfunction is discovered. The NBA Competition Committee was scheduled to discuss the possible expanded use of instant replay at its meeting at the end of the month and we will raise, for the Committee's consideration, the use of replay in situations like this.” --> Joel Litvin, NBA President and League and Basketball Operations.

The NBA assured that the stoppage was a result from the arena's timing system technical malfunction. The timekeeper during that game came from a neutral city (not from Detroit nor Orlando).

some pictures I took from yesterday outside the NBA Shop on 5th Ave. near my office.

here's the facade just across St. Patrick's Cathedral. there was a very long line that morning -probably 3 busloads of tourists- but I wasn't able to take a picture, I left my camera at my desk.
