Letting pgs have the last shot from a throw in... less than 5 sec
Is bad coaching. Unless the pg is tall/long
Tatum should have been given the ball
Yeah, too bad we just have some PG.
That must be why Curry never gets a last shot, especially before Durant. Or why Damian Lillard never does either. Same with IT. Can even go further back a bit to Gilbert Arenas and AI, short guys who never succeeded with the last shot.
Gimme a break
Trying to figure out if you’re serious? First of all, giving the ball to Durant instead of curry is meaningless. Let me know when they start giving it to iguadala regularly over curry. Second, you’re completely making ish up. Who says IT, AI, Liilwrd, and hell, even curry don’t regularly get the last shot?
Finally, point to someone else on this team who deserves to get the balm over Irving? Tatum? I know he taller but he hasn’t earned jack. Horford can’t get his own shot fast enough. Mook?
I’m not saying they can’t make it or that we should try to get the cleanest shot, but in that situation it’s Kyrie 10 out of 10 times and let him make the decision.
I'm on your side - was being sarcastic.
Saying having a PG take the last shot is bad coaching is a nonsensical take
its because you don't understand basketball
you want to say what I'am saying is nonsensical
well I'm returning you the favor
3.5 sec...Irving is hounded like glue
Forget Irving. Any smaller non Westbrook type PG (all NBA, all star whatever) that won't be able to shoot over his defender easily. Running around screens. twisting his body away from the basket to try to secure the inbound pass
You think it is easy to get a clean shot off?? explain to me how
Even if he can catch the ball cleanly without running around like a mad man. He still needs to fake out his man and shoot a difficult shot, over defenders
This is the reason why PGs trying to make a shot in THIS situation (less than 5 sec, inbound play) is not a preferred , high percentage play
IF you don't understand this... then nobody can help you
Other options
1. He inbounds then gets the ball back.... at least square to the basket but still a tough shot
2. He gets the inbound pass and then passes to the open man (which he didn't do and threw up a circus shot)
3. Inbound to Tatum or Al and then Kyrie receives the pass (square to the basket)
4. Pass it to Tatum who can attempt to shoot over his man
I believe in Tatum and that he can make this shot. Last season without Kyrie for much of the season....which players made crucial shots at the end of games? The celts didn't win all games 10 plus. I feel like CBS wants to be diverse and create plays/traps in this situation. Its just he is prevented to do this
