We didn't settle for threes during the end game scenario. We got deep in shot clocks on three possessions when it was a one score game. We ran set plays designed to get inside on all possessions. We had terrible back screen execution, and Hornsby is apparently unable to pin down a chaser with any success. As a result, we ended up with two pick and pops and one turnover when we slipped a screen at the end of the shot clock. Ending up with a contested three is not the same as settling. Just saying.


I'm not talking about the very end of the game, I'm referring to the last 10 minutes of the half. If you say shot selection hasn't been an issue with this team, I don't think you've been watching the same games as me.

I haven't the foggiest idea how you could read what I said in response to the text I quoted and come away with what is quoted above. I don't even think I used the term shot selection. Just saying that if you actually watched the game, you'd see that we didn't "settle" (properly so-used) for threes. We got left with them twice, though.

Also, if down the stretch isn't the end game scenario when it was tied or we were down 2-5 points, you aren't using down the stretch properly.
