No it doesn't. 8 seconds have to have elapsed. Listen, pretend the clock starts at 8.0; 0.6 (the equivalent to 16.6) is not a violation is it, no bc only 7.4 seconds has elapsed.

the clock does not change from 17 to 16 until it is at 16.0 24.0-16.0 = 8.0You are wrong on this one it is ok happens to the best of us. let it go.

I have questions...Exactly how much time is on the shot clock when it's reset?After one-tenth of a second has elapsed, how much time is left on the shot clock?I will wait for your answer, and follow-up with another question.

The shot clock should show 24 until a full second has elapsed. Therefore, after one tenth of a second, the shot clock should still say 24. Personally, I think they should have the shot clock configured to show tenths of a second. We have.....the technology.When it is reset, the shot clock should have 24.0 seconds on it.

I have the Nuggets at 5-1 to win the west, also the under (208) tonight. Houston (+9.5) and Orlando (+4) look good for tomorrow.

lol Hawks were 30-1 to win this series before tonight

You gave the answers I was looking for, but I forgot what my follow-up question was. I won't forget about this...Get JJ Barea off the floor please, and/or quit pretending he's Chris Paul. This is so goddamn annoying.

What did Dirk say, I missed it? At halftime they're talking about how Kobe, Jordan, Lebron would have never said it.

[Poppy_Hillis 11]

79-77 Nuggets 2:41 3rdI'm telling you, it's like every other game.

maybe joe dumars figured the best way to beat cleveland and LA was to send Chauncey Billups to Denver

I didn't watch much of the halftime stuff, but I'm guessing they were talking about how much credit Dirk gave Martin, Andersen, and Nene for their defense on him in Game 1. They discussed it in the pregame stuff, too. Their point was that elite players shouldn't praise other players that much, but instead should have more of a "they can make me work, but they can't stop me" attitude. I'm loving watching Denver close out games right now. That was something they struggled with pretty much all year.

I'm just shocked Dirk's name was mentioned alongside that group...

That club will be getting new members.

ROFLBarkley: No disrespect to Wally but why would you double team Wally Szczerbiak?the reason the Hawks will losethey decide to go showtime and Lebron draws the charge and then shows them exactly what showtime is

I was thinking the same thing last night.

that's.....generous.Atlanta shot 56% in the first half last night (to Cleveland's 43%) AND THEY WERE STILL LOSING BY FIVE AT THE HALF.Cleveland is in another world right now (especially the way they clamp down on defense). I will be surprised if Cleveland does not sweep. It would not shock me if Cleveland went through the east 12-0.

God damn it I am getting hammered in the Celtics game so far.

I talked to a college official today about this, and he said, "huh, I've never thought about it before, but it makes sense." He's going to find out, and get back to me next Tuesday, well this Tuesday I guess, the Tuesday next week."Huh" wasn't a confused "huh", but a thoughtful "huh."

49-48 Rockets.They took the inevitable early Lakers run and fought back easily with Yao on the bench.Houston is not screwing around with this upset business......I still like the Lakers in the end but I would be super-concerned if I was a Lake-show fan right now.every time I see Carl Landry play, I say to myself.....that guy finds a way to get stuff done.

I was concerned when they bullshat their way into the 4/5 spot. Only team I cared about avoiding in the West.

That interview was hilarious.

Artest's throat clearly hit Kobe's elbow on purpose

[Jadaki 0]

I thought Artest was going for a reach around while he crawled further up Kobe's ass.I think I saw Kobe's wife getting jealous.
