Sixers vs Taipans - Questions
It's all easy in hindsight, but here are my questions:
Clock is counting down on regular time. Maybe 8-10 seconds left. Cairns possession and they're up. We let 4-5 seconds run off the clock before someone thinks "shit, we should foul or our season is over".
From the way Cairns jumped all over each other after winning the game, you could tell they were eager as hell to win. After three lazy thrashings for the Sixers in the lead-up to the game, were we not quite as on the ball when it came to crunch-time thinking?
Then, with about a second to play in overtime and down by three, couldn't we have called for a timeout to advance the ball to half-court, passed in to Willie (2/2 threes for the game, shooting very well, and feeling it) and let him go for the double OT?
Just looking for some discussion on these I guess.
