I agree.... but then again no one knew if he was trying to pull back for a midrange or what.... or going to try to launch a 3.... it was just a strange sequence
sure, that confusion is legit. but, i think once he starts dribbling it out, if you're one of those players with solid bball IQ, just call timeout while JR is dribbling with his back turned to the basket.
lebron try to call time out with .5 sec left ....
yea, he realized it with like 1.5 left then pointed to Hill, then called timeout.
LEBRON's bball iq = legit. Everyone else was a deer in the headlights.
he actually had a really good look within .3 sec of grabbing that rebound but right away kd swarmed them, considering how slow this guy reacts he prob woulda got blocked by kd anyway....
ya I think the likely scenario is he gets blocked by KD and it's loose/scramble, goes to OT.
but ya, being that close, go right back up with it or call timeout so you can get it to LEBRON coming out of the timeout.
but he was prob lying saying he knew score was tied OR he is just pretty slow minded..... maybe both.... that game where he hugged jason terry middle of the game he also said he forgot about it or he doesn't remember.... again he was lying or just semi braindead....
He definitely didn't know. I don't believe him for a second. That was a dribble scramble as if they were up.
Can't blame him for trying to cover up for himself right now. Hopefully he comes clean after the Finals at least
Stephen A Smith did a "piece" today on ESPN about how he blames JR's "off the court activities" (weed smoking) and such. IMHO that's trashy. Plenty of intelligent people smoke weed, lol. The end of that game itself, with that overturned call etc, just compounded everything, confusion everywhere. Even Thompson's ejection was confusing.. Just a wreck.
Feel bad for JR tho, solid o-rebound then stupid mistake. People will blame him but, like I commented while watching the game, so many blown defensive possessions by CLE - not getting back, leading to 3's etc. People keep giving Lue credit but, I think he's a weak coach.
