Shouldn't that be discussed in the previous timeout. Who is gonna come get the ball to bring it up. Rivers wanted Roberts to come get it, but Roberts never had his back. That was plain terrible.
Dude, I know everybody wants to go there but Rivers was the only option on the inbound. They locked up Roberts and AD almost got a 5 second call before he got it in to Rivers.

Rivers is a professional and he started shitting his pants as soon as he realized he might have to take that shot.

You can't have a ticking clock and your "scoring" guard stutter stepping his way up the court.

He was trying to get the balls to Roberts. The way he looked at him going up court and way ad tried Roberts almosy yill a 5 count makes me think it was roberts balls to go get.
Once it was obviois he couldnt get ball there he made a move pulled up a shot and got tackled

If you look his stutter comijg up the court was him trying to get the ball to who was probsly drawn up for

Either way another loss

Another season gone

I'm guessing there was a play called that started with Roberts. Rivers tried to pass to him twice and didn't know what to do when he couldn't.


Yes sir. This is my #1 issue. If we have some thing that has been drawn up in the huddle and it doesn't develop like it was drawn up, there isn't another option. It leads to the Grevis' heaves, and tonight's Rivers not shot.

I'd much rather have the ball in Gordon's hands. Let him create/penetrate, take the shot, or dish it out to an open teammate. That seems to be the way to have most success coming out of late game timeouts. No?

So did you just come here to bitch without watching the game?

Gordon fouled out a long time ago

Unfortunate, he fouled out... Really strange for Gordon. I wonder if he ever fouled out before.

Totally totally agree. Monty doesn't trust Rivers and Rivers knows it. That's why his confidence is shaken, and the reason he was shitting on himself on that last play.

Maybe a better scenario would have Gordon with the ball in his hands, and let the offense run thru him on that last play?

I didn't know he fouled out. That's my bad. I saw he has 8 to's and thought that's why he was sitting. My bad.
