Very sad about RJ's dad...

Mostly because Captain Jack was traded back here and everyone flashed back to the Nets Game 6 June 2003.. shame Poop dumped him, probably would have been the difference against the Heatles in '13.

He couldn't even get it done against MEM in '11. One of the few times you will hear me critique Pop was for giving RJ the last shot in game 1. There is no way he could produce in the Finals if he suffers shrinkage in round one.

Who else was getting the last shot? Our #1 option was out that day with the newly broken arm. Neal was probably our best shot, as he made a similar one to save Game 5, but it was really TLTL. 2011 Spurs were built to play from ahead, not behind. That was Manu's last MVP-caliber year but three point shooting was not really one of our big specialties that year.

Gary Neal was given a last shot in that series, and delivered. He was a rookie, but an older one, and well travelled. He had been pretty money all year.

also, RJ was a lot like Bruce Bowen in that his 3PT% was around 50 percent in the corners and well below 30 percent from the rest of the arc. That was a near straight away shot IIRC.
