Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 2494384, member: 534"] That play was just a stunning example of quick witted basketball. He devised that dime the instant Embid committed to the help D. Mentally, he was two moves ahead of the defense from the time he crossed the foul line. It wasn't just a 'no look' pass, it was a pass with his vision completely blocked. But he knew once he swung it around Embid's airborne body there was no one to stop it from reaching the wide open shooter in the corner. In a way, it reminded me of Kemba breaking McGhee's ankles. Combine a superior handle with quick decision making and a gigantic set of balls, and a big man stands no chance trying to defend that. Embid was no more able to recover and get to the shooter in time to offer even token resistance than McGhee was able to block Kemba's game winner from his position sitting on the foul line. [/QUOTE]
