Point differential in ATO's?

He was terrible tonight. That last call was a joke.

How?

We had probably 4 different ways to get a great look. 2 players didn't make good decisions.

Willie can't get in there and make the play for them.

- Herb missed Willy inside
- Herb hesitated before going inbounds and missed a chance after Gordon left him to get a pass back from CJ
- CJ could have guaranteed free throws had he went up and into Gordon
- CJ could have simply dribbled once and stepped in for an in rhythm jumper

Herb missed 2 chances, CJ missed 2 chances. Why are we still saying Willie drew up a bad play?

What call do you think would have given has many chances as the above?

Watch Herb. He was looking almost exclusively for CJ (probably why he missed Billy cutting). It was clear the play was called for CJ in the corner. CJ was 0-7 from 3 in the game and had had an off game in total. Instead of sticking with the hot hands, Willie went for his star player on the court.

Play calls very often end with the player with the ball changing it up on the fly based on what he's seeing.

It was very clear that the play we called ended with multiple successful options, but the players did not execute. All Willie can do is put players in position to succeed, which he did on that final play. He can't make them succeed.


You say go to the hot hand, Alvarado was the hot hand but on everything driving at the rim off of pick and rolls. There's not a play to draw up that can do that in 3.7 seconds. I don't care if CJ was 0 for 7, if you're saying Alvarado should be taking a jumper over CJ, I will disagree with that 100 out of 100 times.
