Lmao. Hadn't scored in 6 minutes but miraculously makes shot at the buzzer
Unfortunately, it wasn't a miraculous shot. It was an unguarded 17-footer. You have to at least try to defend in that situation.


We've repeatedly given up wide open looks in the final seconds of halves. It's weird.
Giving up an open 30 footer isn't a terrible thing. Giving up an open midrange shot is. One is way easier to make than the other.

I'd say it's weird how bad our D is in those situations, but it's the same in most other situations as well.


Yep. Why would it be better D with 1 second left vs 1200 seconds

Man we knew how special Quincy Acy was but we've not had someone as explosive before or since

that Walter dunk made me think of him


That seems to be a bit of a reach. Sure it wasn't just the yelling?


I've not seen someone consistently as explosive as him around the rim.

Open to other ideas though. Just my recollection which maybe has aged like wine on em

He's really working hard. Finally being rewarded with points. But he and Bridges have been fierce on the rebound

It took awhile but maybe he just needed to turn that corner and now he has.

If we could get Josh O to attack the rim with the same ferocity he rebounds we would be set.
