The shot by Gordon was fine

In basketball, the best thing you can do is find your open shots and, even then, it comes down to luck whether the ball goes in or not.
I do take issue with the fact that we decided to wait and run the play at the 10 second mark when we easily could've ran it earlier in the possession to atleast give us the opportunity to get a put back or foul GSW with some time still on the clock.
If the game were tied, obviously you want to wait for the last shot, but when you are trailing that late, you have to go for the lead as soon as possible and then handle the possible scenarios from there.
At least we looked so much better than last night, loss still hurts.

All of this.
I approve of the shot, and I'm good with not taking a timeout.
Running the clock down was a silly, inexcusable decision.

Agreed, people that think the shot was bad are dumb as shite. This one hurt. Smith was frustrating the hell out of me. Refs were garbage.

Would have been a good shot to take with 10 seconds left. Thatway, you can foul curry and if he hits both, you can still tie it with one 3.
If I'm gordon there, I drive the lane and jump and go for the layup/foul

Agreed.
It was a pretty good play. AD had 3 people swarming him on the roll and eg was wide fricking open. Can't complain about that.

This is silly. Results over process.
They worked a good shot. If he hits it, this post turns into "Great coaching to wait for the last shot so Curry has no time left." If they had gone early and he makes it "Fire Monty. They went too early and Curry had enough time to get off a shot to win." Or if they rush a shot and they miss "Fire Monty. Why did they rush the shot?"
Both taking a quick shot or waiting for the last one are valid strategies here. It's not an either/or proposition. The critique is only because he missed and they lost.

I agree, it was a great look. I would rather Ryno taking a three at the end of the game, but it was still a good shot.

A corner three is not a bad shot at all. I'm not upset with that final possession. I am, however, upset at the constant high screens with only Smiht and Davis setting them and Smiht shooting 15 times.
