20-20 hindsight certainly isn't. One of my pet peeves in business is the Monday morning quarterbacking that occurs when a 60-40 decision...

Take, for example, the decision to foul when up three in an end-game situation. Many times here we have been lectured that of course that's the right move because it prevents the possibility of the tying basket. Would you call that a 90-10 call? 50-50? 60-40? My point is the less likely thing might happen, and calling the decision idiotic because that's the way the dice land is itself well, I won't call it idiotic, but let's call it a bad misunderstanding of probabilistic decision-making.
Great shot yes indeed. Have to admit that Dames shot slection can be crappy at times. The 3 that he took on the previous possession was so bad.Krispy Kreme wrote:I don’t want to kick the guy when he’s down but PG Graveyard absolutely trashing Dame for like the last two pages of the game thread and then Dame hitting that shot was amazing.
Kudos to him owning it at least.

Sid, just no. Intentionally fouling up 3 with 11 seconds left on the game clock is not a 60-40 decision. Letting Giannis decide regulation on back-to-back possessions sending him to the line when he's a notoriously shaky FT shooter is not a decision that only looks bad in hindsight. This was Jason-Kidd-Math level brainfarts. These were objectively dumb coaching decisions that led to predictable consequences that everyone could see in real time. Will Griff learn from this? I mean, hopefully he does. Thankfully it didn't bite us this time, cuz Dame things. Be happy for that, absolutely.

The foul when up by 3 only comes into play when there are 7 seconds are less usually.
You can hear Marques allude to it as it was happening as well.
That was very poorly done. Griffin is popular with the players but the X's and O's, I'm not convinced about.

There's no **** way. I need the quote.

Is there a graph for when the coach leaves a slow 7 footer on the floor to defend the 3?

WTF. He admitted Giannis is the 2nd option after Dame. Shaq also has championship level DNA but you wouldn't make him the outlet when you're getting intentionally fouled. ****, this is so far beyond repair.

The entire overtime Gianni was setting screens and passing to wide open shooters. I don't think he was asking Griffin "Yo, coach, I got this" with the FTs.
