Game Thread: BREAK THE STREAK - Warriors @ Jazz - Nov 30 - 7 PM MST

[akirac73]

The Jazz played a great game, played their hearts out...then pooped in their pants at the end.

Exactly. A dumb choice. Play breaks? Take it back and play for the final shot. Period.

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

I wish hayward took the shot. he was balling tonight.

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

Nah, with no timeouts just go for broke at the buzzer. Asking the team to go down the court in a couple seconds to hit a tying three shouldn't have even been considered. A two pointer at the buzzer should have been the only thought.

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.

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.

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.

If there is such a thing as moral victory, it is this one.

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.

 

[TheGobertReport]

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.
