Well, nobody agrees with me in this thread. Everybody entitled to their opinion. Fact is that they were shooting 47% plus making us foul like crazy. [B][I]There was no reason to believe that if we score[/I][/B] and leave them 10 secs+ on the clock that they won't score right back or draw a foul. I think the correct strategy depends on the confidence in your D. Will any of the above posters who criticized my post tell me that they believe that our D would have held ?  To win or tie the game in that situation, if you go early you need two things to happen:

1. We score
2. They don't

If you go late you only need one thing to happen, which is really the better odds ?

Now in terms of the game flow, our press was working, but Jimmy had already shown he wasn't going to press in that situation, plus the press would make them take time off the clock. If I had any reason to believe that if we get two that Jimmy would be pressing then I would probably have to agreed with all of my critics, but since that wasn't going to be the case, I preferred our chances with the last shot plus time for a rebound attempt to win or tie rather than let them get that last shot if we even tie in the first place & then have to rely on our half court D.

You now have the logic behind my post to take or leave.
