Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 4487327, member: 1047"] This has nothing to do with your post whatsoever, but I aint starting a new thread for it. It just reminded me. I agree with you about AJ shooting and they are going in. ............but they have to be the shots he's "given" . And this is what I'm getting at. We talk about unraveling? I talked about the Villanova game in BET semis last year (even though it was close later) being given away in the first 6 minutes of second half when we were up 4 when Adama came down and missed multiple chippies in a row after stops. in my mind (even in the moment at my seats) that was the ballgame. I had the same vibe on my couch on NYE. We worked up to a 7 point lead early in second half against X. we were still working with a margin where on consecutive trips Andre took a 3 that wasn't in transition and wasn't because anyone was "daring him" with 29 seconds left on shot clock in offense initiation from top of key. That's a HORRIBLE shot. It would've been horrible for our good shooters! Next trip Andre knew it was a horrible shot and tried to force feed a roundabout into lane for a turnover. Boom tie game and then Newton started throwing it all over the map. THAT (in my mind) was where we lost the game. It wasn't Hurleys T (although stupid). Winning time for us that game (like many others) was mid to late 2nd half. We tossed it. Every possession is valuable. [/QUOTE]
