Game 24: New Orleans (7-17)@ Phoenix (7-16)| Sunday, December 11

[NavLDO]

I really don't know why we didn't draw up a better play for the final play in regulation than dribbling out the clock on the perimeter and launching a deep 3 with no ball movement. I guess Watson must just tell him to do that so we don't turn it over and are assured the last shot but chance of success are not good with a 31.6% 3 pt shooter. This has happened before too. Oh well, good for the tank I guess. Silver linings.

I don't doubt we told Bledsoe to hold for the very last shot, but I guarantee (or at least seriously hope) we didn't tell him to pull up for a 30 foot 3 point shot there. The 3 was completely unnecessary. He was going great attacking the basket pretty much all game, and we only need a bucket or to get to the line to win the game. I don't understand what was going through his head.

Maybe he was having a Homer Simpson moment...'MMMMM...DONUTS...'...

...I mean...sheeesh, a least Knight would've heaved up a higher % shot....a long 2!!!

Dudes, do the math!! The game was tied. 31% x 3 points is = 1 point, which would have given us the win! It was fail proof!
