I also looked at my footage and got around .6 seconds. There is no way it took more than .9 for Lillard to get the shot off.
Ok good... something must be wrong with the method I was using with the slow mo. I downloaded a normal speed video and counted clicks from catch to shoot and got at most 20. Then I did the same against the game clock and it took 22 for the game clock to run 0.7 off. So that's similar to what you got. I feel much better now. Thanks.
Again, the NBA has calculated the time it takes to catch and shoot. The NBA believes it can be done in 0.4 seconds. The clock started right when Lillard caught the ball. Lillard caught and launched. Plenty of time. I can't believe this is even a debate Still: Thanks BlazersCaravan for going through all that effort to calculate the actual time. Looks like the time keeper was right on top of it. And so was Dame.
LOL. 1.2 seconds. I saw some Houston fan say something about the shot clock not starting until he was already shooting. Just for fun I hooked up a professional timer up to my player and hit the button 10 times and got an average around around .55. With the low being around .49 and the high being around .61. So I was consistent in range, median and average. Certainly way below .90. So that argument needs to quietly go away.
You have a tough task ahead of you creating a video for Game Six. Kind of a boring game without much tension. I have faith in you, however. Somehow, you'll figure out a way to make it somewhat interesting.
