re: What happens first a Warriors loss or a Sixers win?

What a dumb play by Lowry

Going for a two there is really not as crazy as these announcers seem to think

They have no timeouts.

The Warriors have played over 1/7 of the season without a loss.

Let's say he lays it in. 7 seconds left. Foul at 6 ish. Maybe 5 seconds left down 2 or 3. Plenty of time. It's fine if it works. It's dumb since he went right at a defender and got owned. The decision to go for 2 is fine on its own though.

Yes I get that they have no timeouts. They can go the length of the floor in 5 seconds just fine.

I also think they should have taken the last shot on the prior possession but not sure a weird offensive foul was in their plans. If they get a quick, good look, it's worth taking it. Extend the game with a miss.

The bigger problem I have with going for two, is that even if you make it, GS is probably gonna get the ball to Steph who is gonna make both free throws. Then you're in the same position you were just in except with 5 seconds instead of 24.

Well the idea is presumably to deny steph and play for a missed free throw. If you let them get it to steph again, you have failed. If they make both free throws regardless of who it is, you've failed.

I think they should have gone for three. I just think that going for two was "not nearly as crazy as the announcers thought." I see what Lowry is thinking and why he did it. A lay in there is by no means a death sentence.

I think Lowry figured they would give him the lay up which is often the case there. He was surprised to get met at the basket IMO which was the death sentence

He will go back to the bench once Kendall Marshall and Tony Wroten are back

I think we have a different definition of "playing teams tough."
