Message: [QUOTE="NineOneSeven, post: 3648629, member: 871"] One of the moments he got an earful from Jim was 1H when the guard drove left, passed buddy and into the paint. AG, naturally, cut him off and the guy tossed it to the corner and they hit a 3. Sure, the 3 came from AG's spot, and maybe in that instance he should have just showed down a little and not collapsed as far and let Marek slide fully over, but the reality is when a guy is driving right to the basket, basketball IQ steps in and you guard that spot. We can talk advanced analytics, whatever, all day about the advantage of 3s vs certain 2s but a layup will always be a higher % shot than any 3 especially if the shooting player has a direct line. Reality is that defensive possession was a result of poor D up top. When that happens, things become reactionary on the back end. I don't watch these games looking for moments to claim nepotism. So silly. That was just a moment that stood out for me, which I found interesting. [/QUOTE]
