yes. foul and give them free throws in a tie game.
pop is so stupid to miss that. cost us the series
Is it not better to foul and keep some time on the clock when you know a make is gonna leave you with one second?
Haven't we been here before?

This is as good as the idiots that hate on Tony for not fouling Allen on the game 6 3 pointer...
Move on please
It is a serious question. Foul with 7 seconds and then you can run a legit play for the win or tie instead of a one second desperation alley oop for the pick.
Timeout. Advance the ball. Draw up a three. Win by one.
The only different I would have done is put Kawhi on CP3 so his length could bother him.
Thats is a good point. But the play was well defended. I only saw it on YouTube--had to listen on the radio because I am in Czech Republic all week. Did they try to trap him or did he just blitz all the way to the key?
Just when I thought spurstalk could not get any stupider.
Right. Because going down by two any way with only one second on the clock is a higher percentage play. Sure.
If that would be such a good idea the Clippers would have done it as well immediately after that ... looking at the FT percentages of our backcourt players I think the Spurs lose that battle as well.
Probably.
How are you supposed to anticipate that s shot is going in or not?
Also, I'm surprised that more people aren't taking about the degree of difficulty on Paul's shot. How are you supposed to guess that that's going to go in or not.
Fouling when you're tied is just silly unless it DeAndre Jordan. Even then.....
Which is another thing. Was Jordan on the floor?
Once the refs called the foul on Duncan, the possessions were ed up.
The defense was good but Paul just hit an amazing shot. Turns out it was the latest game winning shot in a Game 7 ever.
Agreed. The defense was pretty good. Maybe a foot further out he misses. Reminds me of 0.4 to be frank. Just sucks to see Tim posterized.
Doc pulled him. If DJ was on the floor it might have set up one of the most talked about coaching moves in history -- if Pop actually had the guts (or insanity) to foul him.
With our luck he makes the first then misses only to grab his own rebound for a slam.
lol
You can't use Hack-A-Somebody in the last two minutes. Otherwise Pop surely would have done it with DJ on the floor.
1. I'd rather take my chances that a FGA, which is statistically less likely to go in than giving away 2 FTA to Paul, who shoots free throws at over 90%. If you give him free throws, he's going to make them and you will absolutely be behind; if you make him shoot, there's about even odds that he'll miss or make. I don't think you can just assume that a field goal attempt will go down in that situation.
The irony of this, though, is that Pop trusted his defense in that spot to get a stop. Arguably, had he just trusted his defense in the middle of the 2nd quarter of Game 6, there may have never been a 7th Game.
2. Even if Doc had been foolish enough to put Jordan on the floor in that spot, the Spurs could have only fouled him on the catch in that part of the game. There was no way that Jordan would have touched the ball there other than on a scramble play, so there was no way (even if he had been in the game) to employ the Hack.
Inside of two minutes it's a free throw and the ball
Woops. So much for that idea. /thread
not necessarily. They could have left DJ open to receive the ball and then wait until he gets it to foul.
Two shots and possession we are dead.
