I like the effort, hated the usage of the roster and the design of the play for STAT. D'Antoni out thought himself. Just because STAT can hit that shot doesn't mean you draw it up for him. You put Novak in and draw it up for him, or you give Melo or Fields (if you gotta be daring) that shot.
Yea STAT got a good look, and it's a shot he can hit....but he's 5-15 from three this season. Not the best option.
:agreed:
Putting Novac in wouldve been a much better strategy.......
We were down by 3 with 16 seconds left....Melo & Tyson couldve
screen for Stat to dunk....Chicago was not going to stop the clock
by fouling Stat.
What bothers me is - what if - the shoe was on the other foot, would
coach Thib go for the 3-ball shot (Kover) with 16 seconds remaining,
or would he have Rose quickly slash the lane for 2 points, then foul
the Knicks bringing in the ball giving Chicago the ball in the final 8 seconds.
