good decision to sit rondo with 1 minute left, put the ball in crawford's hands for the last play, another good decision, crawford makes his move, gets fouled, good for that too
but, now Crawford is to shoot freethrows and is up on the line heaving, if Tubby had a timeout for the half he should have used it, if not it seems like a lost contact or injury or shoe to tie, might have given joe a quick chance to suck some oxygen before shooting.
the shot, short, good sign of fatigue, I hate to see a player up on the line pumping like that. oh well.
the other thing I noticed in the half, they are making a mistake with noah, they need to cut him off when he is trying to move without the ball as well as when he has it. when they let him go, he gets to an open spot and there he is, much better to make him work to get to the open floor spot. If you can't out jump him or out run him you better impede him as best you can, because if he gets to do what he wants, he will do what you don't want.
Ithink Sparks needs to get some rest if he is going to be able to do anything shooting wise.
