Why not sub in Mohammed... I don't at all understand the decision to allow the guy that hasn't played for a month get the nod in the final 9 seconds when we're only down 2.

What makes it even worse is that I think Law is a lefty - so he hasn't seen the court in the past year, checks in, drives with his off hand and screws the pooch.

Nice.

Of course with LB burning all our time outs with a min left to play he probably drew it up that way with Law because at least with Law on the bench, he didn't need a time out to tell someone what to do.

He could have gave it up to Ray at any moment. ANY moment.
Humble yourself.

I was being reactionary. It's on LB in my mind now... I can't blame Acie. If he makes the shot, we're happy, if he passes and makes a to, we're pissed and didn't even get a look. The guy is on his way out of the league and can't get minutes on a team barely in the playoff race. When he gets a chance to shine it's only natural that he's going to take it.

If only the ball had been knocked to someone else.

From the moment there was confusion between Flip and Acie as to who was going to inbound the ball I let out an loud "uh-oh".

Why wasn't Felts up there to get the inbound pass?

The whole thing just didn't make sense.

If only we had a time out or two left to settle things down................

That's true.

Slam, I think Felton was doubled, which is why Acie was able to dribble up the court without any pressure.

Props to the Cats! For some reason the Knicks and Cats seem to always seem to have great games. The NBA needs to stop sleeping on us and start nationally televising these games.

Can we put this in the Hall of Fame? This is something I never thought I'd hear from Slam. :D

I'm just playing. I completely agree. For once Ray needed to be 'the guy' at the end, even if he missed, it should've been him. Certainly not the guy that hadn't played a lick since we got him. Amazing.
