Nuggets EDGE out the Bulls

Chauncey Billups drives...and draws the foul with 0.6 seconds left! Hits the first and intentionally misses the second. The Bulls have 0.3 though, they get it to Brad Miller, he shoots, AND MAKES IT! BULLS 91-90!!!

...but after a long and hard look at the replay, the referees decide that he still had posession of the ball when the buzzer hit and the lights went off. Nuggets 90-89

Your thoughts? My heart was pounding, sank, and then lifted.

I didn't get to see it but it sounds very exciting. Sucks for the Bulls esp. if it was the wrong call.

Congrats tho.

I feel like either way there will be controversy over the call. It depends on what side you're on.

Like for me, a Nuggets fan, I see that the ball was still in his hands...(but I have yet to see other angles that can prove me wrong). However, if the ball was released, then people on my side can argue that the time the clock started was late, because there's no way he could get the ball with .3 and shoot it in that time.

However, if you're on the Bulls' side, you will argue he had the ball off in time and the Bulls should have won.

The call was love or hate

Good point. I just wish I could have seen it...


what happened to Melo tonight? he was 8 for 22.

Bad shooting day, but he did hit a clutch jumpher (wildly contested by Luol Deng) in the final minute to give the Nuggets a 89-87 lead, which greatly helped them win

Nice.

It's interesting to see the Nuggets win even when Melo is having a bad shooting day, esp. since they beat a team like the Bulls who are really surprising [in a "i dont know what to expect from this team" sense] so far.

Even when Melo shoots poorly, he still finds a way to drop 20+, and that's great

JR Smith (er...Earl Smith as he now wants to be called) was 1-9... X_X

haha true, he was 100% from the FT line too.



He just got back right? lol, 1 for 9 is pretty bad but I'm sure he'll get it together =]

Yeah lol. Again with a bad shooting night, but had a nice look to Kenyon Martin for a dunk late in the fourth quarter, which also greatly helped us win

See... you only know stuff like that when you actually get to watch the game

Lol I didn't. I was reading the play-by-play on Yahoo Sports and then saw highlights on NBA Coast-To-Coast after

Pff, too lazy for that

Haha well here's how it went:

I was having some nice soup while watching a college football game (good game, too. Came down to the wire), while being on the Bulls-Nuggets score page on Yahoo Sports on my iPod. It has the live updates, and I remember seeing Carmelo's 14 foot jumper from the left wing and Kenyon's Martin dunk (Assist to J. Smith )

However it didn't tell about Brad Miller's shot and I saw that on Coast-To-Coast, which was on right after the football game (which conveniently ended near the end of the Nuggets game)

lol wow sounds like the timing was great!

Smith had 5 assists, not bad.


what kind of soup was it?
