I feel like a lesson in valuing touches and looks was learned between last night and tonight.
Regarding Cole not looking happy about the easy 2, it was a set play. Cole doesn't look angry when you watch the clip again but he is off-screen for a moment so maybe he shows some negative emotion at that point. Were you at the game where you noticed something? Or did you notice him being **** when the play was drawn up for someone else or maybe even earlier?
Anyway, the clip is below. Watch Mosley in the timeout. He puts his marker where the inbound pass is coming from and runs it to the backcourt on his clipboard, where Franz will be. He then moves his hand forward as if to signify "straight to the rim" and says something in Franz's direction. Franz gives him a subtle nod.
They run exactly this with Cole setting Franz a screen. Franz doesn't use the screen and Dinwiddie either concedes the two points or he completely **** it up. Probably the latter.
It's doubtful Cole would be **** about how the play turned out when he knew what would happen ahead of time unless he showed his displeasure when he first found out what was going to happen, which could have been before Mosley talked to everyone.
