Look, George was in the game for 33 minutes against Duke. For most of that time, more than 3/4s of the game, George handled it first.

They both shot 2-5 from three, and Starling had 4 assists in 26 minutes.  How much was he gunning?

Maybe you just wanted him to make that pass, and maybe he should have, but maybe he thought he was open.

That's basketball.  It's not nefarious.

I saw went thru the play-by-play on ESPN

1st possession - JJ asst to Kyle for dunk after 18 seconds (w 30 sec. shot clock).

Next Poss: Duke shoots FT, Starling misses floater in the lane after 23 seconds of possession (i.e. 7 left on the shot clock).

Next Poss: Starling makes a 3 on initial pass from George.  Poss was 11 seconds - early shot but made it.

Next Poss:: JJ missed jumper from 17 feet after 17 seconds of possession.

Next Poss: Kingz misses 3 pointer at the shot buzzer

Next Poss:  George misses layup after 16 seconds.

Next Poss:  Kyle blocked shot, Starling rebound, pass to Donnie on fast break, misses 3 pt shot after 7 seconds of possession.

(Fast shot missed, when he could have driven to the rim on the break and try to draw a foul).

Same poss: JJ gets offensive rebound, Freeman makes jumper after 20 seconds (i.e. at the buzzer on the reset)

Next possession - Kyle block, George rebound, pass to Kingz for fast break dunk - 6 second possession.

Next poss:  JJ missed a 3 after 19 seconds of possession.  That's the first six minutes of the game.

Your feeling about his play (i.e. early shots in the clock) doesn't stand up.

Maybe later, but when the game was still competitive, much of it was because of JJ and Kyle.
