You're really not as smart as you think

There's no way you go for a 2 for 1 in that situation


What are you talking about? We started the possession with 38 seconds left on the clock. In what world can you not 2 for 1 that?

I just re watched it, you're right, no foul. I thought there was more body contact live.

I'm really liking this Norris fella. Dude has been the exact kind of personality we needed to add.


He's been very solid. Cole, Pondexter, and Cunningham have been really good pickups this season. Really nice role players.

"Yeah, no."

Babbitt has been listening to too much Bobby Hebert.

Cole is going to earn him a future with the team with this recent play.

Evans, Holiday, Gordon, and Cole as the backcourt rotation seems very solid.

In a world where you have the LEAD with the game on the line

I know your function here is to point out missed two for 1 opportunities, but that wasn't one. Nobody goes for a two for 1 there.

You get the best shot you can, then play defense with the LEAD on the last possession.

This team has a good top 9. 9 NBA players on this roster, and Babbitt has been showing some promise too. This team started the season with 6 NBA players, adding 3 more is huge. And they basically have control of 7 of them going into next season. The only players who they don't control next season are Cunningham and Asik.

Capitalizing lead doesn't change the fact that you are foregoing the opportunity to get 2 possessions vs the opponents 1. You will have the lead either way. The only difference is that the opposition isn't afforded the option of taking the last possession if they want it.

Not really. You are not guaranteed to get possession back. You could give the other team enough time to have a full possession, miss, rebound, and have time to reset quickly for another shotm

Seriously dude? You don't understand the concept of a 2 for 1? Of course that COULD happen. Like all 2 for 1 opportunities, its contingent on the absence of an offensive rebound. But the notion that you stop playing efficient basketball because you have a lead in the 4th quarter is absurd.
