Ya'll are CRAZY for saying he should have drove. Al was sagging off him and would have met him at the rim. You don't drive on bigs that are giving you 5ft room.
Down 2 with game running out
with all the momentum
on a fast break
Not a natural 3 point shooter
With tired legs (so even LESS chance of a jump shot going in)
And at home
YES THE HELL YOU DO.
At worse you drive it and get a kick out to your specialist. At worst.
Yep, low percentage shot from a low percentage 3 point shooter, it was a bad decision but he was not the reason we lost this series
Completely agree. People need to be arguing that we should not have been in that position to begin with if we actually had a decent second option. But pretending that was actually a good shot is insane.
I actually would not even be saying anything if Jimmy took a pull up “low percentage” mid range shot there, if the thought is that because Al Horford was sagging off he shouldn’t have went to the rim. It’s technically a low percentage shot, but not for Jimmy. That’s his bread and butter.
But a three? And off-balance three from one of the worst three point shooters on the team? No sir. Jimmy was our best player and our hero this entire playoffs, but a bad shot is a bad shot and we should be OK to call it out while still being quite adamant in saying he was far from the reason we lost this game
