Proof of (Bad) Play
Regarding my earlier post: A Play in Question
It seems I am not alone on this play. See quoted transcript I saw at ESPN chat.
Brad (Albuquerque, NM): Ric, why did Avery elect to have Dirk pass in the ball on the last shot rather than be down low to catch/shoot it himself? Shouldn't the teams BEST player take that kind of shot?My Three Answers:
Ric Bucher (ESPN Guy): Three reasons: He wanted Dirk or Josh making the decision on the pass, because they are his best decision-makers. Dirk has demonstrated that he can't always get open to receive the ball or get his shot up without time to work free. He also had to figure Josh had a size advantage over Wade.
He wanted Dirk or Josh making the decision on the pass, because they are his best decision-makers. – So let Josh make the entry pass.
Dirk has demonstrated that he can't always get open to receive the ball or get his shot up without time to work free. – It’s Avery’s job to get Dirk open.
He also had to figure Josh had a size advantage over Wade. - Josh has a size advantage over Wade? How about Dirk having height advantage over everyone else?
