    Don't think he was trying to avoid overtime. It's the last game of the season if they lose, and it's at home. If he was trying to avoid overtime, it's terrible logic.

    I am more in agreement with the idea someone posted suggesting if it drops it's a one point advantage. Just like Jimmy took the shot early down two points, if the Celtics are down a point, they don't wind the clock all the way down for the last shot. Season on the line, down, you have to attack early, to give yourself a chance at an offensive rebound and if you miss and they rebound a chance to foul and get one more chance.

    If Jimmy scores a lay-up or midrange two pointer, tied score, then Celtics can run the clock down for the last shot with whatever 12-15 seconds left in the game.

    Different layers of reasoning, but I understand the decision. I don't believe it's a right or wrong scenario.

    He jinxed himself with that, "And we're going to win the next one too!", bull . The shot solidified the jinx and of course it was Butler who shot and missed it unfortunately. Glad to see DW in the finals but I was rooting for JB.

    Bad shot - he bricked it so no discussion with better alternatives
