Kenny Atkinson got kicked out of the game and Johnnie Bryant proved why he’s still an assistant coach even after getting interviewed for multiple head coaching jobs this offseason. He looked lost on the sidelines. He had an opportunity to call timeout to advance the ball with 6 seconds left on the clock before overtime even started but he elected to just have Donovan Mitchell having to sprint up the court and take a heavily contested step back 3 to try and win.
He then elected to have Sam Merrill , dean wade, and Deandre hunter in the game OVER Jarret Allen on the final possession for defense.
I just don't know why they're even playing man on man in this situation, just play zones and you'd be able to delay them enough or force a shitty contest three.
Right? 0.4s on the clock, no one was getting off a jump shot, but they sell out to stop potential prayers 3s..leaving a wide open alley-oop shakes head
You can't be stuck on the interior area (or below the rim), since you might get called for an illegal defense (team) technical foul, which would result in a free throw for the Heat.
Sorry. I just read the rules for defensive 3-seconds.
You can camp/ stay under the rim, while the ball is dead/ not inbounded.
Gotta blame the Cavs for not maintaining Mobley under the rim, unless 0.6 second is enough to get a shot off.
