Down 3, a mid-range shooter DeRozan to make a baseline pass to obvious 3pt shooter. No wonder it got telegraphed.
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

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.
It's his ego. He thinks he can transform the Forbes and Cunninghams of the world into legit players.
With seven tenths of a second?
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.

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?
Vintage OP, lol
Regardless,

It's starting to get comically bad might be the worst out of timeout coach of all time. Yikes
Damn… took their last two TO and still couldn’t get the ball inbounded
pop pooped another one.
And Pop was all smiles as jiggled Brett’s balls after time expired
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.
was embarrassing. Looking like a washed up piece of out there tbh. Sad. It's time for him to retire.
In honesty, LA screen was totally out of sync, wrong angle and about 4 feet off. After that there was no chance to inbound.
Rudy giving our 70yr old a late birthday present with an ISO game winner. No one is a bigger fan of late game meltdowns than Pop. You just know is about to hit the ceiling when he has a clipboard smh...
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.
I could not tell if Marco got mugged or they took it without fouling
Instant turnover after that timeout LOL
