I stepped into watch the game just before halftime when they had a 7 point lead and then they promptly blew it, but stuck around because the ball movement was looking good and wanted to see Durant pass MJ. Turned out to be an epic game. For the first time in months I'm glad I watched.
We were about to get fouled and he's our worst free throw shooter why is this confusing. Maybe he was confused because Tari was on the court in a high leverage situation.
So many things he could have done in the is sequence if he has any basketball IQ. Jabari inbounding - instead of getting open he throws his hands up in frustration and removes himself from the play. Decides to inbounds, and commits the biggest cardinal sin - throwing a risky pass under your own basket. If you don’t have a safe pass heave the ball to the other end of the court and give Amen a chance to make a play on the ball. If it’s a TO atleast then the heat have to call a timeout or make a harder effort to score. He should never be on the court in these situations, his basketball IQ is negative.
Don’t forget Durant with the assist. That’s a beautiful angle for showing the reaction of the crowd. I wish I’d been there. Kudos to the Clutch fans who were, part of the best crowd I’ve seen in ages there at the end. We were facing Doom, another loss in clutch time, when suddenly we witnessed a miracle.
Zac Lowe & the other podcaster crew used to rant about Durant playing off the perimeter and in the corners & waiting for C&S opps when he was with the Suns - basically it was deemed a waste of his talents But, you know he's really really good at it! If he's getting doubled or can't otherwise get to his spots without committing a soul crushing turnover it's not bad to have him there depending on lineups
now lets be honest... if we lost that game... and Dickerson tweeted that Tari was lowkey r****ded... would anybody really have an issue with it? lol
