What will Brad draw up?
I'm betting on IT as a decoy and Smart or AB taking the shot (probably AB after a screen by Al)
If Smart takes the final shot, Stevens should be fired on the spot.
I had a bad stream, but was Bradley not wide open for a corner 3?
Broken play, Giannis got his long arms on the inbound pass, deflected it, there was a bit of a scramble, and Smart ended up with it with chance at a heave from well beyond the line. He did try to get fouled on the shot, which threw him off. But it was very unlikely to go in no matter what.
I re-wound it and he had PLENTY of time to hit a WIDE OPEN Avery in the corner for a tying three!!! How did he NOT see him??? Hero ball?

Sure looked like it on my screen, too. Thanks for the confirmation.
More lack of clock awareness/loss of composure due to the broken play.
This might have been a game where the length and higher release of Green and Jerebko might have helped, at least more than Young, who actually checked into a close NBA game. Their length bothered our shooting.
yeah, if Im blaming Smart on that last play, Im blaming his inability to get the ball in to IT or trying to draw a foul instead of just going for the shot.
hard to blame a guy for not making that pass.
Why do you say that? He gets crunch time mins because he generally makes smart, winning plays. I'd blame him for not making the right pass, if AB was wide open.
Just caught the replay and Smart landed with around 2.8 seconds left and immediately went for the shot.
Middleton left Bradley in the corner to go contest.
The better play would have been to pass the ball to Bradley, but I certainly dont think its egregious for a player to catch the ball in a broken play with under 3 seconds left in the game and assume he has to shoot it.
Ive got a bigger problem with his inability to get the ball to Thomas on the inbound.
