[Highlight] Brandon Ingram’s potential game-tying shot is waved off! No overtime tonight, as the Nuggets escape with the victory
Watching this again I guess it’s an important reminder that the TV clock is always slightly delayed. To me watching live it looked like the ball was out of his hands with 0.3 left but the red buzzer on the actual shot clock is obviously what you go by.
yeah i was shocked when it was waived cuz it looked 100% like he got it off in time in the broadcast
I wish there was a better angle of this bc it’s hard for me to see properly. It was incredibly close and I can believe it was still on his fingertips but I just want something a little clearer to soothe my heart

Best I could get from the clip, looks like it’s barely in his fingertips as the shot clock lights up. Heartbreaking.
I mean idk how much closer it can get than that
If you zoom in, you can get even closer.
ENHANCE
Thanks! It was close but definitely the right call. Tbh, with how we were shooting on open shots, I’m not sure we get a win even if we go to OT
There really is no excuse for the league to have different clocks for the broadcast and in game buzzer. Accurate timekeeping is the bare minimum for a megacorporation.
Look i’ve just seen a photo where the ball is out of hus hand from in the arena with 0.02 on the clock.
Objectively this is probably the right call but it’s just deflating as a fan & we’ve had this happen like once in the last 3 seasons each lmao.
Doesn’t help that we ALWAYS have these 1 possession games against the nuggets where one of either of our players gets hurt.
Fade me fam
He made it
…after the clock expired
Yeah but he didn’t call “bank” /s
Bruce Brown receiving a Wall Street level of bailout
Didn’t watch. Rewatched highlights. When Bruce got fouled I knew he’d miss lol homie lost his clutch gene from 2023.
Yes, the return of Brucie B has not been as exciting as we all hoped it might be.
He’s still the best backup guard we’ve had since 22-23 Bruce though
To big to fail baby!
delete this pls, we don’t wanna talk about it 😭😭. /hj
He did it
Glad this happened in a meaningless regular season game and not in the playoffs, not sure my heart could take that emotional whiplash. Killer shot from BI.
Heartbreaking.
Got to let that stand
You absolutely can’t “rule of cool” an actual game-deciding shot lmao
Why are people mad at the refs for this objectively speaking if the ball isn’t entirely off your fingertips at 0.0 the shot doesn’t count
Man that finger is barely on it. Unlucky
Clock started late and still didn’t get it off
Refs are like ‘nah we got NYE plans’
that’s just the broadcast scoreboard clock. the in-arena clock was accurate and that’s what the refs use.
Do you think the broadcast clock is the clock the arena operates on…?
can we talk about scotties pass tho? instantly recognizes where BI is and places the pass perfectly
Well that was fuckin insane. Sorry Dino bros but we were well due a bit of fucking luck haha.
LET ME HAVE OVERTIMEEE
No we’re down practically our entire team 😭. Jonas got injured too
Bruce Brown must be thanking his lucky cowboy boots after that, god damn
Thought he was still playing for the raptors lmao.
this leaves out big B missing both FTs, truly doing it for the fans
Refs should have allowed cmon it was so sick
Rule of cool was not upheld, these refs suck even if my team won.
Ehh they kinda screwed us with the Daron Holmes foul at 49s left, so this is an OK bailout
Edit: also he didn’t call bank, so it shouldn’t count anyways /s
sorry man, that stinks
Give us a break man Val got injured
So did our whole team the last few years and everyone gave us shit.
It was a lucky bank anyways. Not cool at all. He missed so bad that he made it.
“Lucky Bank” lmao, you do know that some players purposely shoot off the glass?
I’m not stupid, of course I know that. But most of these heaves that bank in are lucky. And anyone who plays ball knows what a lucky heave bank looks like. That was a lucky bank. I can’t explain it any more than that. If you play and watch ball enough, you know what a lucky bank looks like. As they say, iykyk.
I agree it was a lucky shot. A lucky buzzer beater is still cool though
thats about as close as it gets, literally frame perfect.
FUCKKKKKKKKK
I guess for all Denver’s misfortune with injuries they get lucky with this in return lol
Makeup call for a BS call on Daron Holmes with 49s left
Also Bruce. How tf u miss two free throws
Get lucky? The Denver C Team just walked up down 5 players and gutted that game out. Toronto should be embarrassed as fuck.
Hey, Milwaukee/Washington is still close, you never know OP.
It looked so good until it didn’t
If you slow the video down, you can see the ball on his fingertips when the shot clock light goes off. Correct ruling, but it did look like they got it wrong at first
No step by step replay?
That KLove to LeBron against the Wizarss basically but on the other side
sure post the crowd shots but cut the crucial replays
blue ball of doom
What a crazy shot! I’m glad we won but holy cow
Refs have a reso at the Brass Rail.
These three past Raptors home games have been the most entertaining, wow!
Brown has to hit the gym and the tape room, over the last couple weeks has had some huge blunders on defence and missing free throws in yhe clutch just isn’t on.
you could tell it didnt count, some of the players knew.
[deleted]
Just denial from heartbreak, not that deep
Clock in arena isn’t synched with broadcast clock, try again
rule of cool says you let that shot go
So weird because it looks well out of his hands in real-time.
Spirit of the game, it’s an entertainment product not fucking federal governing, that shit should’ve counted. I was there when we got robbed of a Justin Champagnie game winner a few Decembers ago and it just fucking sucks ass.
You think the shot should’ve counted because it would have been cool? I was the first to say that sucks for Ingram because it was an amazing shot…but he didn’t get it off in time. It happens.
Imagine giving a touchdown to a football player who barely stepped out of bounds because it was a great catch.
You bet. Pro athletes themselves tell media how much of a blessing it is to build a life off a “kid’s game”. It’s not serious. It’s an entertainment product. Spirit of the game.
but he didn’t get it off in time. It happens
Also a brazen lie! He did. They didn’t count it because refs are boring losers who couldn’t be bothered to do their job.
They lost the game. Spirit of the game means the team that won deserved to win. Raps have had many close calls like this against them over the years that we as Rap fans were happy didn’t count.
Refs wanted to go home
Wasn’t his hand still on the ball at 0.00?
Nope. It was out of his hands immediately before.
it was clearly not as they waived the shot off
Yes refs would NEVER get anything wrong. No coach has ever won a challenge to get a call overturned. You are so right, they are infallible, they have never made any wrong calls.
Here you go have a good new years
No coach has ever won a challenge to get a call overturned.
So when the Coach reviews and they go through all the footage, the result is the correct call, but in this case, after going through all the footage, they still got the wrong call?
I think as long as its not egregiously late game tying shots like that should count
Now I’m imagining referees explaining to a stadium that while the shot was after the buzzer, it wasn’t “egregiously late” so it will stand
rule of cool states that the shot WILL count
Yup. Even if it was against us.
How much times nuggets gonna get away with ref ball this season?
this is inarguable where is the controversy
Yeah you should be the last one that should be saying this.
How come?
Well, for starters, Lu Dort is not under suspension despite blatantly trying to injure players.
What does that have to do with ref ball tho?
It doesn’t matter since spurs won anyway, but imagine if Dort did injure wemby. There was no ejection or flagrants which would have helped the spurs if they were losing.
Anybody can injure wemby.. his knee is literally by dorts head lmao.. is Dort a reckless meat head?? Sure but I don’t think he is dirty IMO
Are you dumb?
He is from Oklahoma, you should consider being dumb is default.
Yea, explain it to me like I’m 5
By letting Dort get away with all of the shit he does you benefit from ref ball.
What does he get away with? He gets called for his shit all the time
Look up Lu Dort on this subreddit
holy projection
Name 1 thunder game this year where the game was determined by a ref
The first game of the season lmao. Not hard to forget Shai’s game winning free throws
49th out of 50 gentleman
What ref ball is relative with this?
Not enough to catch the chunder. Chunder live on non calls.
This guy is a clown
I Just tell the truth big dawg
We get it, your truth is you are the dimmest light bulb in a box full of 5 watt bulbs
Yea I get it, I’m dumb. But can the nuggets fanbase say anything else other than that? At least get more creative thanks
Ok look, in all honesty we are all super proud of you and all the brave people with your condition. I think its great they let you have computer time and all that. But it is for real time for you to get to bed.
I’ll head to bed, keep working on it though because this ain’t hit like how you thought 😭
You are doing great big guy, we are all rooting for you!
