For a broken play, this still could've ended up with a worse look. Honestly I'll take it over a random ISO that usually means a terrible long jumper (3pters fading left for the win!), which were the plays we were actually drawing up out of timeouts last year.Last edited by white men can't jump; Sun Nov 8, 2015, 04:52 PM.

white men can't jump wrote: View PostYeah, it isn't a good look. I'm saying that it's pretty much the best you can hope for from JV on that side. *He was going to use his running hook, and he couldn't initiate it from where he caught the ball. The only way you usually get a better look from that side is if he's in a position to shoot off the catch. He still has really no post game from there, and hopefully this motivates him to make that his new priority. He's effective from the other side, and I think eventually his jumper will come around if he takes it more (so far he's looked a bit more comfortable taking it). It's not like they'd run plays to get him the ball there, but he still needs to be effective for random situations like what happened the other night.

One thing I'll say - to me, it seems like JV definitely thought he was passing out to Lowry on his first two dribbles. He wouldn't concede that ground if he thought he was posting up from the get go. That much time and on your weak side, why wouldn't you pass? It was weird Lowry told him to keep it, he's not very good/practiced from that side compared to the other.

There was lots that was weird on that play. DeMar passing up the layup. Lowry could've reset the play at the top when he got the ball back. They let JV take the shot but in one of the worst spots to go to him.
Still though, better look than a bunch of what we did last year late in games.

JV had about 10 second on the clock, against a weak defender, in a fairly good position, one-on-one and he managed to screw it up. He was given all the time and space in the world to make it happen.
Last year fans complained about him not getting the ball at the end of the game. Well, here was his chance ... He tried to get ride of it like a hot potato but was waved at , rightfully so, because of who was guarding him and his position, to make it happen and he failed.
That is the FACT around that last play.
And FYI no one ever complained about Jonas not getting the ball in the last 10 seconds of games last season. People complained that he didn't play in crunch time. Two different things.MeDar ReDozan

The play was beautiful. 4 of the 5 guys on the court fucked up up.
First derozan had a free layup, then lowry had a nice looking three, then he missed a wide open Joseph, then Jv missed a last second hook shot on JASON SMITH.
That fuckup was a team effort. Very forgettable game and most lokelyw I'll never happen again. This game was an anomaly.I'm back. I no longer worship joe johnson

And technically, that's only 3 guys that fucked up.
