Still, there's no way he should have pitched it to Birch or Yuta. He's not a great passer, but he is a safe passer. Rarely makes mistakes, it's just that he's made a lot of them at the end of games this year.
Overall our offense was just labouring to get Fred and Pascal difficult shots. The Clippers were just content with letting the open man win the game. Nurse put some non-shooters out there and that made the floor even smaller for our only two scoring options. They needed Malachi last night. He was way off.
I think the key moment for Pascal to make that pass was right when he recovered the ball. The moment he dribbled the pass disappeared and Birch should have spread wide to give Siakam the drive and kick or more room to split left and create a pass to Birch. But Siakam also needs to stop making up his mind in transition. It’s a bad habit of his as he picks up lots of charges in transition. Learning experiences for everyone.
Yes, but then Birch is putting it on the floor to finish. I think it was a good decision, but a bad second decision. If they didn't struggle so much in the half-court in the clutch, they wouldn't press on their fast break opportunities. We see this with both Pascal and Fred trying to finish through contact they really haven't proven they can do consistently, or get calls they pretty much never get.
