HOUSE MONEY
SO TRUE
but this was nuts
smart almlst costs us with ****ty free throws missed
we are lucky ohilly had no timeouts left abd had to go full courft
Brad still had time outs at the end!
For what? To give them time to throw the ball down court and maybe get a decent 3 shot before the clock runs out?
No, the 76'rs had to get the rebound starting the clock, turn and look down court to find somebody, ANYBODY, with less than 2 left to make the pass AND the shooter catch it just to attempt a 3.
Unlike Philly. If Philly still had time outs it would've been scary at the end.
But they didn't so no sense belaboring idle speculation.
Smart knew it and "forced" the throw and playing like a free safety got the INT. Can you imagine him in the NFL taking out guys like Gronk as a SS. Or at OLB/Stand up DE coming on a blitz yet easily able to get back in coverage the instant it turns into a pass play.
He has those instincts and more (see above).
