Yea I don't get why we didn't run out the clock. That makes no sense. Take the final shot.
Oh well great game. We proved we can keep up with the best of them if we stay focused

Hayward or Burks, a simple drive by Burks could have given him the free throws at least...

Exactly. Zero timeouts means there isn't going to be a three to tie. Go for the buzzer shot. Poor coaching/dumb decision.

If the play was to shoot a fast shot, it would have worked. We spent too long with the ball not moving and then the ball was loose for a few seconds. Was it bad play call or bad execution? It clearly looked like the team didn't run whatever the play was properly so Hood kind of panicked and took the first relatively open look he saw.

If ever there was a case for holding for the last shot of the game, this was it.

Or you could take a contested 3 down 1 with 8 secs on the clock, that works too.

@haralabob
You had no timeouts left either, thats just embarrassingly bad late game management. Hold. For. 1 Shot.

How do you take the hardest shot in basketball when you are down 1? You can't bring the extra point with you.

@haralabob
Having no timeouts and having a 90% FT shooter the other way, flattening out and letting Burks go with Favors crashing is what i'd do.
These.

But why a fast shot? What gives you better odds, one shot to win the game? Or a quick shot, make it and Curry has >10 seconds to hit a game winner. Miss and you have to foul and at best you get 10 seconds to run the length of the court to take a three to, at best, force overtime.
If they really were going for a quick shot, it was foolish.

Last shot should've been Burks or Hayward. Period.

This is such no-brainer basketball I can't believe what we just witnessed. So so so so stupid.

No joke. Even if Hood hit that shot, there was still time on the clock, they had 3 timeouts and oh yeah, Steph Curry is on their team.

They would have built a wall protecting against any drives that could have easily resulted in a turnover. Then everyone would really be pissed saying you have to "at least" get a shot off.

I'm just astounded at how stupid that was. Snyder should've made it abundantly clear that it was a buzzer shot or nothing.

On a brighter note, Haralabos was very complimentary of Favors and Gobert

@haralabob
Favors and Gobert, is there a better 4-5 combo in the league?
People asked...
Millsap/Horford? "No chance"
Blake/Deandre? "Legit laughing"
Bosh/Whiteside? "Stop"
Duncan/Aldridge? "If Duncan wasn't 107, sure"
Melo/Porzingis when the Knicks go small? "No chance Melo is more valuable than Favors, especially playing out of position."

Derrick Favors is shooting 44% in the post to go along with 71% on cuts, 68% on put backs, and 60% rolling to rim. Only 24 year old.

This is the one thing I hate about the 3-wing lineup with Hood. Hood should be a lights out shooter, but he seems more focused on being an on-ball playmaker and his shooting has suffered. The results are too many cooks in the ball-handling kitchen. Burks was having a great 4th quarter (besides the extremely horrendous TO that basically lost us the game) and Hayward was solid throughout the entire game, one of them should have the ball. This is why coaches call boring isolations on last minute plays, it lowers the room for error by having the wrong player shoot or a TO happening.
Holding for the last shot has its drawbacks. If anything on your play breaks down, you have no time to reset. If you miss, no chance for an offensive rebound and put back. And I get that Curry is amazing, but it's not like the Jazz would've had no chance at a successful defensive stop, given the Warriors would only have a few seconds.
Second guessing is easy.
