Game 71 | Raps @ Cavs | Emergency Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Well, I was panicking, but that was a big win and a great effort second half. Has to put some doubts in the Raps minds, especially knowing how many players were out.

LBJ was sensational second half, finally started to get some FT's and his defense picked up.
 
Good foul by Drew. Gave em no chance to tie it. DeRozan finally misses one. Raps have no timeouts with 3.8 even if LBJ missed here.

It makes absolutely no sense to foul that far away. You want a quick one, foul him when he crosses the half. He's not going to hoist it from 3/4 of the court now is he?
Get as many seconds off the clock as possible.
 
The defense definitely picked up in the second half. Good adjustments.
 
Should have fouled the second time when they had no time left on the clock and we didn't , but fouled when they had 7.3 second left against Derozan? Luckily he missed the FT...still, makes no sense.

I have no problem with fouling, but you don't foul Derozan right away(an elite ft shooter),You either wait till he passes it out and/or wastes a few seconds, or you just allow him to try to make a contested three. He is not a guy you should be afraid of making a contested game winning three.

The odds of us missing a free throw or committing a turnover are too big of a risk.

This was a ridiculously bad call by the coaching staff and it's somewhat scary. A Euroleague final was lost that way and there was much less time on the clock...just saying.
