The play where the clock was running out? Tough to blame Zach on that, he's a good shooter and we needed to get a shot up.

Three seconds, a ten foot pass and - as we all learned - the pass is always faster than the feet. As i said - if you can, go re-watch it.

I don't have Dvr on this tv. Truthfully I felt the same as you until I realize the clock was so low. Three seconds is not a lot, although it's easy to think so when watching a recording.

Look if he has time to take dribbles, turn the corner and go up then theres easily time to pass to the next man who was ready to catch and shoot. I just dont feel like he has that mentality. Thats why Bjelica barely gets good passes when playing with the second group, be it Lavine or Wiggins as the lone starter.

Their attacking PG's have 44 pts tonight. Our Pg's have 16. Huge difference to make up.

Zach with the turnover force and Ricky to Town was a thing of beauty. Come on guys. Lets play mistake free final 2 minutes.

Nice pass Ricky. They were playing the pass.
