    I actually heard Becky hammon drew up the last play...

    Not much you can do with 0.7 seconds. Just food instinct by plum Plumlee to ruin bryn forbes 3 attempt by kicking the ball

    But I do think bryn should have heaved it instead of bringing it down, there was absolutely no time to even land

    7 seconds and Pop couldn't even draw up a ing shot attempt
    Down 3, a mid-range shooter DeRozan to make a baseline pass to obvious 3pt shooter. No wonder it got telegraphed.

    the problem was everybody knew Forbes would get the ball, including Denver. Gay was cold all night and DeRozan and White can't really shoot 3s like that. You know having Bertans and Belinelli out there instead might've confused the defense to create a more open shot

    Even better if given to Belli, taller and could’ve gotten a foul shooting 3, like Manu used to do

    Also for the 0.7 it would've probably been smarter to have LaMarcus inbound, Poeltl set the screen and either Bertans (size) or preferably Belinelli shoot the 3. They much harder to block and Beli loves to shoot off balance anyway.
    You can't expect those type of plays from the coach who subs in Patty Mills to get a defensive stop in crunch time though.

    I was hoping we were going to try that Hedo Turkoglu inbound pass where they immediately passed it right back to him for the game winner. Figured it might work well with Bertans, but blah.

    I would love if just one reporter in the post game would call Pop out for how he handled the final minutes, and then give him the Acosta to Trump treatment when he becomes belligerent.

    You mean having the best 3 point shooter in the world (statistically) be the inbounder is a bad play call? Or was it us throwing a lob pass to the shortest person on our team not named Mills? Tbh Pop used to have amazing out of bounds plays, but now he sucks. I can't really think of an all-time coach though who is amazing at them. Jackson basically gave the ball to Michael and Kobe and said go win it.
    It's his ego. He thinks he can transform the Forbes and Cunninghams of the world into legit players.

    Agree with the thought but maybe Gay inbounding as his release I believe is a bit slower with limited time to shoot. Its not just the play call, but reacting to how the defense plays the play. There should be as many 3 pt. shooters as possible out there so defense can't slack off of one.Screeners that pop off of the screen become targets as defense reacts so I agree have all the shooters, especially tall shooters, and even Aldridge out there in situations like that. And then play basketball, not just the play.

    having only Forbes as a 3 point specialist with 7 seconds to go ... that was a mistake ... Bertans was not on the bench for the final play so once again OP shows he has nothing of value brought to the table
    Bertans was on the bench when we were down 3, you ing austist. Then he got subbed in to inbound with .7 of a second left. Reading is hard ain't it?

    Pop is pretty much out of everything. Younger coaches are making him look bad.

    What strategy? No Duncan or Ginobili to bail him out.

    he’s no Phil Jackson.

    Tactical awareness is Pop’s weak point, he can’t adjust properly when his usual plan fails.

    In honesty, LA screen was totally out of sync, wrong angle and about 4 feet off. After that there was no chance to inbound.

    I was afraid that play was coming after the TO. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that playing 4 on 5 isn't that good of a strategy, tbh.
