What opinion do you have about the 3-pointer at the end getting off in time?
In the NBA, when does the game end? When the clock shows 00.0 or when the buzzer goes or when the red light comes on?

I believe all three things should occur simultaneously. I didn't see the play but I can't imagine them not counting the basket if it should have been good.

I think the Raptors got hossed by the officials and David Stern in the game against the Lakers a few weeks ago. The stop stopping DID have an effect on the game. That timer should be fired.
Thoughts?

In the Laker game, the correct procedure was used. Nobody got hosed or hossed. The precision timing mechanism is supposed to stop the clock, not the timer. The clock should have stopped when the foul was blown and then the continuation of the play would have allowed the basket to count. There is no lag time in the NBA for stopping the clock.
Nope, I'm afraid they got that one right. You can argue with NBA officials on judgment if you like, but they know their sh*t when it comes to the rules. They aren't allowed to make mistakes.

In the sitch I'm talking about, Shaq's shot at the end of the game, the clock was counting down... 4...3...2...1...0
But at around 1.1, the clock stopped. Then it started again. Was there a whistle? If so, what for? Why did it start again?????????????????????? Why did it start again???????????????????? Sure, all 3 SHOULD occur at the same time, but IF they DON'T, what happens?
