I'm In No Mood For a Clever Thread Title! Loss vs IND 1/8

Or Jaylen could've passed to a wide open Derrick White who could either shoot an open three or hit Porzingis for a layup or a midranger if they rotate off him, or hit Al for an open corner three. Plus there won't be any time left on the clock.

True.

But like I said, JB is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

That's on JB, not Joe.

It's not like Joe can talk to JB, through a headset, like a coach talking to the QB in the NFL.

JB not passing and opting to shoot is solely JB's decision.

If only there was some way that Joe could have spoken to Jaylen before that final play.

If only.

If they call the foul and we're comparing JB at the line for 2 vs. a kick out to White for 3 I'm not sure it's as cut and dry which was the better option. Yes JB has his ft problems, especially late in games, but White was what 4-16 that night? It's not like he was normal DWhite and lighting it up. One shot for 3 points or nothing vs 2 shots at giving us a one point lead (potentially 2 points) and I might even hedge my bets with JB free throws. The problem becomes 2-fold in the foul not being called and JB obviously not know he would be fouled vs. just a highly contested tough jumper when he made up his mind. I do think JT would have taken the last shot in that situation as well so not too mad over it.
