Then PG makes salty "bad shot" comments. Yea it was technically a bad shot but Dame had been doing it all series.
These two got put in their place by Portland. Adams couldnt stay on the floor and Grant seemed to fade away when the post season came.
Lets hope all these guys take this very personally and come back next year with a better attitude. As well as a better understanding of what it takes to win.
Dame almost scored from half court though... I mean guys are capable of making insane, ridiculous shots, but I'm not sure what PG could have done there any better. He kept him from the drive, kept him too far for him to drop down a pass for a 2 and basically forced him to take a half court with the last second winding down. The bigger problem is the 15 point choke job they managed to orchestrate before that shot went off.
Yea dont get me wrong he defended pretty text book really. Its just the comments after that piss me off.
Give props when its due. Dont focus on the fact that stat wise its a bad shot. Comend him for playong so well all series etc.
Again, these two as the leaders need to get their egos in check. I think Dame might have just done that.
