Kemba pass

[Waquoit]

True enough, but you take your chance with Alaa Abdelnaby vs arguably a top 10 ever college player that's made many a big shot

If that was the case, why didn't the great Coach K make Laettner the first option?

Ask Jim Calhoun if he shoudve guarded laettner on inbounds in 1990.

There were 2.5 seconds left. Very different scenario. You're not passing the ball back to the inbounder with a half second on the clock.

That said, I was fine with the decision.

tatum, brown & smart need to shake off the toxic irving

c’mon man, they beat my sixers. embiid is better than any player except maybe the brow

There are quite a few players better than Embiid
He wasn't even the best player on the court vs the Celtics
I guess you are a sixers fan

Overall a lack of communication by the Celts. The Globe said they were in a zone which I don't understand and Smart was calling for Brown to cover the corner, but somewhere this fell apart as Brown was too late. IMO a man to man would have been a better call at that point. But give Toronto credit, great pass and adjustment by Toronto.

I think what Stevens was trying to avoid with man-to-man was a bunch of picks which would have freed someone up for an even easier shot than they got. Credit to Lowry for executing a perfect pass over Fall and Anunoby for a tough shot at the buzzer (he kind of went off 1 foot and made it look strange). It's the NBA, the best basketball players in the world, it happens sometimes.

On to game 4.

You're proving my point, this is the guy that designed the Trajan Langdon play.

I was watching the game live and as the time was ticking down, and the play became frenzied, I knew it was Kemba time. That is when he thrives the most!

 

[XLCenterFan]

yes

No way. Davis is up there, but those two aren't the two best in the NBA.

2 full seconds more than Toronto had. Not the same thing.

For a second, I thought he was about to break McGhee's ankles....

The play took me right back to that...poor McGee - he was a good player and that's what he's known for

Ok smart guy, but he wasn't known as the money time shooter at the time he was inbounding the ball. That's pure redboarding.

I thought the same thing! Lowry threw that pass from the second row. Also may have traveled
