    That's why you take the last shot of the 4th quarter...

    Manu didn't get the memo

    Yep. Needed to wait a hair longer. You either win or go to OT. You don't lose with possession and the shot clocked turned off. Mavs probably hit a 3 pointer 25% to 30% of the time in that situation. Had a bad feeling when I saw 1.7 seconds and the ball at half court. Spurs might be done.

    Its not so easy as you think to not leave no time youre battling against a decent look to no look at all.

    Then you go to OT. You don't let Dallas get the last shot.

    Nah Id rather be up 2 with 1.7 left, thats a winning probability, if Manu missed there was a possibility of a Spurs rebound and putback also. Id rather go with getting a shot off as good a look as I can get, he got a decent look, slim chance Mavs hit 3 to win, in OT on the road in playoffs, nah Id rather be up 2 with 1.7 left.

    Doesnt matter if he would have left 4 seconds, thing is the Mavs still had to make a basket. Its alot easier to lose in OT than it is up 2 with a few seconds left.

    So instead of giving Mavs a few seconds and youre up 2 youd rather give them 5 more minutes at home when youre the one already behind 2-1 in the series, now I see why so many lose at this.

    Um, the series was tied 1-1 before the game concluded. And yes, I would rather have the last shot of the game if I were the Spurs. Dallas has plenty of 3pt shooters and VC/Dirk are guys that can get good shots off with a defender in their face.

    1.7 seconds at half court is plenty of time to get a good look. Shit, VC even had enough time to double clutch. The Spurs are supposably the better team, so what's wrong if Manu misses with the game clock expiring, then you get 5 more minutes of OT. I've seen too much crazy shit happen in the NBA. You want the last shot.

    Getting a shot off and actually making it are two different things.
    Im sure Pop wasnt mad at Manu and had to like his chances. He'll talk in presser or somewhere.

    I didnt even look at the odds but Im sure every book had that at around at least -1500 or more.

    So your saying Dallas only hits a 3pter in that situation 7% of the time? LMAO. I'll take those odds any day. They probably hit it 1 out 5 times.

    -1500 prob too high but prob around -800. 1 out of 5 with 1.7, I highly doubt that other things can happen too like a turnover, tipped ball out of bounds leaving less time.

    some agree, some say they would like to be up 2 with 1.7...

    not if the other team has a timeout left

    seen crazy shit too often over the years

    Derek Fisher's shot to win a game with only .4 left...

    that's why you take a shot and make sure it will be the last one

    my opinion

    Bro that was 10 years ago, how many times in that scenario do you think a team won vs. them losing. You think youd lose more times in that scenario or lose more times in OT.

    Manu did his job. Made the shot with less than 2 seconds on the clock. Spurs had the win but Vince made an amazing shot.

    Are you kidding? No way does Dallas (or any team for that matter) sink a 3 pointer in that situation 20% of the time. 1.7 seconds and needing a 3ball usually means some terrible, off-balanced heave at the basket that's lucky to draw iron, not a 1 out of 5 proposition. Vince just hit a great shot, plain and simple. It's not Manu's fault.

    If you really think it's a bad idea to have a 2 point lead with 1.7 seconds left you are a dumb human being.
