Paul George 3 pointer in Detroit game (gif)

[JohnMax]

[davehos]

.... that's probably part of the problem at Indiana.

1) He's talkin' smack while beating Detroit.
2) Don't get me wrong it was a great shot ... that he never should have taken.
3) To make things worse he's talking trash in the middle of a meltdown.

EDIT (from like page 3):


The clock initially did not reset after an offensive rebound (even though it should have). He began the process with the clock winding down. By the time the clock properly reset, he was already about to release. His reaction while watching live felt more like "Welp, that worked out."

Awesome gif anyway though.

OK, not so bad.

Damn, what a shot.

Let's be honest. That was a horrible decision to take that shot. I mean seriously, this type of shit is unacceptable. I don't care if he made shot or not, it was stupid as f*ck. :facepalm

Only, the clock eventually did reset... halfway through his release (look at the clock on the ticker).

Edit: My fault, didn't see you respond to my response. I'll leave this one up in case others missed the first one.

George = douchebag what kind of coach tolerates that kind of shot, let alone a coach of a #1 seed.

[fpliii]

He's probably a top 2 perimeter defender in the league (the other being Iguodala). As long as he's not a liability offensively, dude has to be pretty good, right? :confusedshrug:

I will say he hasn't been able to shoot his way out of a paper bag the past couple of months, but when his j is falling watch out.

:pimp:

(Note: Admittedly I am a sucker for two way players.)

I retract my statement, realizing the clock didnt reset makes this a good play actually. Better to take a shot than get a turnover and this one just happened to fall.

[inclinerator]

that's one of the farthest shot ive seen someone take while maintaining form

You madd Houston is a contender while your team and your idol drift into irrelevance?

[hitmanyr2k]

Nice fluke shot and all but 10 three point attempts for someone shooting as bad as he is lately is ridiculous. The Pacers aren't going to win shit with him launching that many long range jumpers.

Poor shot selection, Kobe like confidence. Still awesome since it went in. Imagine if he missed that.

21 seconds left on the shot clock.

[Jameerthefear]

I posted a video of it on page 4. The clock wasn't reset in time so he had already started shooting. He thought that they had a second or so to shoot.

He had to shoot it because he thought they didn't reset shot clock :cheers:

Guaranteed if he missed, they would have the ball back.

This is gonna give Damian Lillard some ideas. He already likes taking long 3's.

(Note: Admittedly I am a sucker for two way players.)

Paul George is not a great, good nor premier defender in the league. This is coming from someone who is completely impartial, and probably slightly on the fan side of things when it comes to Paul George.

He is an over aggressive defender on the perimeter, and he gets bailed out by having Hibbert at the ring. Watch him actually defend his man. He has terrible lateral movement on defense, and he isn't even good at actually funneling the man into his big. He's just completely lucky to be playing with someone as good as Hibbert on the defensive side.

EDIT: On another note, add George to guys who have unlimited range. Dude's motion didn't change one bit from his regular 3 point shot. Great strength required to do that.

[Nuff Said]

Swag

[SsKSpurs21]

up 1 with 3 mins left and a full shot clock...Pop would have had his ass if he pulled that on the Spurs.

pretty awesome shot though.

[Rake2204]

up 1 with 3 mins left and a full shot clock...Pop would have had his ass if he pulled that on the Spurs.

pretty awesome shot though.Clock didn't reset like he thought it would (initial shot clearly hit the rim). He began to fire with the clock winding down, it reset midway through his release.

You can see how he was planning on sitting on the rock and resetting the offense, then quickly began to fire once he noticed the clock.

[fiddy]

He had to shoot it because he thought they didn't reset shot clock :cheers:
Really? Is he blind or it takes him 3 seconds to process one piece of information?

[tmacattack33]

It is kinda interesting how the perception of Paul George has changed.

What happened was that he was relatively unknown and underrated in the beginning so everyone started to like him because everyone likes to root for the underdog.

And then he was given props and given attention.

And then (which is right now...and the past few months), after we finally started to watch his games and follow him, we all realized that he's pretty immature and no one should root for him.

[LeGOAT]

Dat Pacers offense.

[Rake2204]

Really? Is he blind or it takes him 3 seconds to process one piece of information?The clock was still winding down after he caught the rock (can be seen on the ticker). It was sink or swim time. The clock didn't reset until he began the shooting process. At that point, even if he realized it, it was too late... and he probably figured it was a free shot because if he missed, the officials would have realized why he shot it (shot clock error) and given possession back to Indiana.

[Ronaldinho]

[Jlamb47]

Yal should watch games before talking all that Bull crap. Obvisouly he wouldnt take that shot if it wasnt for the clock. Yal just like to talk sh1t for no reason sometimes makes no sense. These fools dont care what yal say, yal are irrelevant. There millionaires idiots

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Why's this dude so cocky? The Pacers are amidst a stretch where they're playing terribly, largely due to his terrible play. Now in a close game, he's standing around like he's some big shot instead of running back on defense :facepalm

[Jlamb47]

I mean no one was on the other side of the court for him to gaurd. He wasnt taunting he was more shocked he made it and saw the clock actually being resetted. He started to walk backwards his man was still on the other side. Nothing wrong with being confident with yourseld thats how NBA players can get it going. Is he suppose to be depressed cuz they lost some games?

[mr.big35]

that shot was just too arrogant

[Jlamb47]

that shot was just too arrogant

Cuz he had time to drive ? lol
if you see a shot clock with 2.6 seconds your gonna dribble up the court to get a better fadeaway forced shot.

[ArbitraryWater]

I don't even think Kobe would take a shot like that.... goddamn.

Horrible

If you watch a lot of PG, how can you even consider saying the bolded?

I'm not even going to bother with the rest of this post, all unfounded opinion.

[Rondo]

I like Paul George but what a fcuking awful shot to take.

[PacerRaptor]

For those that didn't watch the game the shot clock was supposed to reset but didn't. PG had to take the shot as the clock was at 1.3 seconds

[Jlamb47]

I like Paul George but what a fcuking awful shot to take.

do yal not notice that PG thought the shot clock was at 2.6. If he had time on the clock yes thats a dumb shot but he didnt know
He didnt shoot it cuz he thougth he can hit a jumper regulary from that range

[dannywpt]

:facepalm

10 pages on people bitching about PG's decision making and cockiness when all that's worth discussing is the ridiculous range he hit from

Dumbasses :facepalm

[WallIn]

Pacers struggiling against Pistons at home :roll: It took a crazy shot to make this a 4-point game

funny that people are mad at him for taking it. The clock hadnt reset. He was in the process of releasing it when they finally reset the clock. jebus

wtf? So many people taking this gif without reading any context. There is a reason he took that shot.

[NattyPButter]

lucky shot but if he would had missed it I would benched his ass for taking such a stupid shot. I hope the coach or players got on him for taking a shot like that anyways...there was so much time left on the clock also. All he does is chuck 3s.


*EDIT* saw that he really only had a sec left but he still chucks to many 3's.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

It's just that stupid pose after he makes that shot. So unnecessary, especially in a close game.

[Rake2204]

It's just that stupid pose after he makes that shot. So unnecessary, especially in a close game.That was an, "I thought I had to shoot because the shot clock was screwed up, but it turns out I didn't, but I made an awesome shot anyway and that was kind of neat how it all worked out" look.

And SMDH at all you idiots not reading the OP or the 10 or so other posts in this thread explaining why he shot it.

thats awesome

[Eric Cartman]

For those that didn't watch the game the shot clock was supposed to reset but didn't. PG had to take the shot as the clock was at 1.3 seconds

The GIF clearly shows that there were 21 seconds on the shot clock.

[Rake2204]

The GIF clearly shows that there were 21 seconds on the shot clock.It may be helpful to eye the shot clock prior to George's catch and shortly after said catch. He motions for his team to settle and reset, then notices the dwindling shot clock, which catches him off guard because the prior shot clearly hit the rim. He begins his shooting motion as the clock finally resets. It was too late at that point to change his mind.

Had he airballed, I trust the officials would have stopped play, gathered, and awarded possession back to Indiana with a fresh 24, since he was shooting under false pretenses.

[J Shuttlesworth]

The GIF clearly shows that there were 21 seconds on the shot clock.
