Near the end of the 4th on an inbound DJ hit a 3 off a double screen set right at the corner arc. I think it tied the game. Kemba couldn't fight through and Josh didn't catch it in time. They ran the play later on in OT and Josh sniffed it out and got a hand up in the little midgets face and tipped the shot if I'm not mistaken. Helped us close them out and get the much needed win.

I took a look at that game and you're right. Great memory, bro. DJ made a three on a tricky out-of-bounds play with 5 minutes to go, making the lead 5 points for Chicago. Then in the OT, Thibbs attempts the same play when down 5 points and a minute left. McBob instantly senses it, completely leaves Gibson and blocks DJ from the side.
I'm glad you checked it. Makes me feel good that I got the majority of it correct or at least the parts that matter. It was a sneaky play which is why it stood out to me. Josh recognizing it may not seem like anything special but him being a 6'10" athletic big with a high bbiq sure helps in situations like those. It's just one example of the type of plays Josh makes that go unnoticed for the most part. Put in that same situation, I doubt any big on our roster this year makes that play.
