biggest shot...

[iommi]

IMO, it was Jerami Grant's 17 footer from top of the key. That was one of those...no no no no...yes...shots.

Agree it was big. I might actually put Rak's putback above it, though. We desperately needed that.

I think it was the put back

 

[kuethstheman]

CJ's three?

 

[CorduroyG]

Rak's lefty hook in the post.

Lots of candidates... Another huge play was the phantom foul they called on Miami on a TC put back attempt. That was a terrible call.

yep.. make up for all those legal screens of theirs.

Yeah #22 set a record for illegal screens...one possession I counted 4!

 

[pearl31]

CJ's three from the corner.

 

[Orangezoo]

the fact this is not a unanimous answer is a major positive in that multiple players stepped up when it was absolutely necessary or else we lose.

 

[CusefanATL]

all 4 of the plays listed above were huge. i concur.

yes... but cooney and fair did not really step up in the clutch clutch. they were both pretty non-existent.

 

[rstone7727]

CJ's three from the corner.

At the time I swear I heard CJ mumble "Let me show you how it's done Trev"..

 

[pearl31]

Both CJ and TC had sub-par games but still made a couple important plays each down the stretch.

great minds... I was about to post the same exact thing.

definitely. And then Raks O rebound and put back. Huge.

 

[HarrisonJBounel]

Lots of candidates, but CJ's 3 to stop the clapping kept me from committing brutal felonies.

Just to pile on - I think that was the biggest. The team was showing zero on offense, and we needed something to stop their run. That was it. After that everything seemed to click. I think it allowed the team to loosen up a bit. A bit of a whirling dervish, but a very nice put back.

Agree with that, and just as important, we didn't give up many points in the last 5 minutes, IIRC. Team D was better, all the way to the rebound.

The stupid clapping tradition never helps. If we don't get a basket quickly, I think the clapping makes us even tighter. I know it drives me nuts.

I always wonder what happens when the players gripe to the officials about that and then it just keeps on going. I saw Cooney or Ennis say something once - do the refs just ignore them, or just tell them that it's okay and that we're just gonna ignore the rules for a bit.

It seems like the only teams that get called for it (or player, Baye and Rak get their share) are the teams that try to use legit screens, and then move a bit one out of seven times. The teams that have a big man just chase the guards around up top moving screening the hell out of them rarely seem to get the whistle called on them.

Baye is called for it a lot, usually at a critical juncture.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

Fair's 3, Grant's jumper, Rak's put back and Cooney not losing it and then drawing a foul were the plays that allowed us to escape

 

[rrlbees]

Raks put back.

 

[orangezen]

considering how close and low scoring this game... they ALL were the big shot
