You wrote too soon. Big Baby's fall-away three when down by four at the end of overtime is exactly how you draw it up.

branchinator {l Wrote}:I don't mind the not calling the timeout thing. What I do mind is Doc not calling a timeout with about 8 seconds left when it was obvious that Pierce was going nowhere. The Magic had a triangle of players going after Pierce. Even if he gets a shot off, it would have been a 22 foot fadeaway that had no chance of going in. That mistake will now cost the Celtics at least 1 more game and probably 2 of wear and tear.
EagleDave {l Wrote}:I'm sorry, but exhaustion I think is a poor excuse...I'm fairly sure Jameer Nelson played 50 minutes in that game and it certainly didn't stop him from bombing 3's and he's probably a shade over 5'7. Orlando was begging for the Celtics to take that game, they just didn't execute on the offensive end (or the defensive end for long stretches) when the game was on the table, particularly in the overtime, when NOBODY wanted that ball for Orlando until that banker by Nelson.
On the subject of not wanting the ball. At what point do you stop trying to get cross matches and trying to out-think Stan Van Gundy and just go at Vince Carter? The guy did not want to be anywhere near the court late in that game and in overtime (read: 2 turnovers, and allowing the blow-by for Pierce for the tie). The guy was HIDING on the court. Force him to make a play. If I'm Pierce I back off him on defense and let the ball find him and make him do something, and on the other end I go at him on the offensive end.
PS- Vince Carter sucks
