I agree. Frustring seeing Diarra take so many clock running down desperation shots. I'd rather see them get into their motion and get the ball to someone in solid scoring position, such as a catch and shoot 3 by Ball, Karaban, McNeeley, Stewart or Mahaney, or a cutter who breaks free who can finish inside or draw the foul and get to the line.

Enough of the dribble till seconds on the clock then jack up a wild 3.  I see that happen in the NBA way too often and have always wondered if the percentages favor trying to create a good shot off of solid execution. I do realize that the ball passing multiple hands can be subject to getting picked off or the D preventing the ball from being in the hands of the best scorer, but I still wonder if the success rate of shots off a half court set or scripted situational play would outweigh that. Just seems a low percentage shot in the hands of your best shooter and/or handler isn't the best way to go.
