You have to run him off the 3 point line. Make him take the 2
we were scared he would drive and score easily
This. We played by the numbers, and John Wall, by the numbers, isn't really a reliable 3 point shooter, and logically its the correct thing to do.
No one could account the amount of intestinal fortitude of John Wall to take that shot. That's literally a "we win or lose, but it will be because of me" kind of a shot.
We got beat by a big time shot, by a player who was willing to risk it all. While I'm very disappointed in the outcome, I can't really be mad at that.
Well, I can be mad at the IT TO when no one helped him as he got trapped, leading to a Beal 3. But that's about it.
