[Neurotic Guy]

Make the FTs.

[ozgod]

I will take that, now just need to keep the ball alive before they foul

[Redz]

Happily give them a layup there.

AND WHY DID BRAD NOT CHALLENGE THAT?? Oh my Lord Brad's end-game decision-making is just God-awful. Atrocious.

He did.

How is the ref calling a bad foul a bad end game decision making judgement on Brad?

Because it never should've been in that situation. We had two timeouts left. You ALWAYS CALL TIMEOUT in that situation to give you more flexibility on the inbounds and to get the ball to a safe place.

The refs screwed us over - definitely. But it only happened because Brad made a bad decision in the first place.

[Redz]

Here's where i would just whip the ball off the guy defending the inbounder.

It really is frustrating to watch Brad consistently blow games down the stretch. This year in particular his decisions to not call timeouts in those situations are just mind-numbing.

Almost as frustrating as you trying to somehow attribute this entirely to coaching when we've missed FT's all night and got completely screwed on a garbage back-court ruling

[bello_man09]

come on G....

[Neurotic Guy]

Wannmaker should have been in on the one.

Nice Gordon

[ozgod]

Nurkic is definitely not Tom Brady

No, you don't. You try to see if you can inbound it first before just calling the timeout willy nilly. And the inbounds was in. It was the right call too, because we DID get it over fine.

[jpotter33]

Big free throws, Gordy!

[gouki88]

Talk about bailout

[Redz]

Take the W

[pearljammer10]

And Brad lost this one how...?

[NorthStation]

Tough win.
