Certainly, we’ve all seen the Devin Harris’ shot from last night. His half-court heave gave the Nets a two-point win over the Sixers in the most dramatic of fashions. Even NBA-haters like me had at pause to appreciate it. It was like a college hoops buzzer-beater, but with a quarter of the importance.
But the Sixers aren’t pleased with the outcome -- specifically Andre Iguodala -- and plan to talk to the league about the final 1.8 seconds:
The Sixers, of course, were furious. Iguodala said he had 3 problems with those 1.8 seconds. First, the clock started late. Second, Harris traveled. Third, he didn't get the shot off in time.
The Sixers plan to speak to the NBA about the final 1.8 seconds in question, and that might lead to an appeal. If it gets to that point, and the Sixers win the appeal, then they'll have a victory. If not, they'll be stuck with their 6th loss of the season in the final few seconds.
Good luck with all that, Philly. As the still frames above attempt to show, the clock started as soon as Harris received the ball, and it was out of his hands by the time the red light came on as. As for the traveling bit, I don’t see it. His first shot attempt was blocked, he lost, then regained, possession and chucked the game-winner.
