Message: [QUOTE="Dogdeacon, post: 3136729, member: 1026"] First of all he didn't step back , he stepped into it or side-stepped. In a vacuum I agree with you about 37 footers (you literally keep moving the goal to make your point). In Dame's hand that isn't a bad shot & me and others have proven it was a high percentage shot. And of course he'd face extra defenders if he drove the lane AND they aren't calling a foul in a tie game for anything short of maiming. Also Dame shot 48.1% from 3 and 46.1% overall in the series and you are saying driving to the hoop is a better shot? Your exact quote was " it's amazing if it goes in, but absolutely terrible if it misses." What is terrible about a miss in that situation? Lillard leads everyone in shots taken at 115 for the playoffs, has 26 3-pointers if 5 games (tied with George & Russ combined!) and averaged 1.43 points per shot. Any shot he took had a favorable chance to win the game. If you are OKC you cannot LET him get any shot off in that situation, but sure blame Lillard continuing to convert 'terrible' shots into points and Ws.
