WTF are these NBA teams thinking sometimesA three is the only thing that can hurt them, and everyone in the arena knew they were going to take it. Give up a two pointer and exchange free throws with Durant, Harden or Westbrook on the line.

I asked another poster, Yisman, he believes NBA has an agenda...
Bill Simmons mentioned this in an article in regards to the topic:
(Note: I'm really starting to wonder if David Stern released a secret edict about 10 years ago that said, "I know we're much smarter now, and we totally know what to do with a three-point lead and under five seconds to go, but for the sake of entertainment, any team that defends this situation correctly will be fined $500,000.")

This seems to make sense, that why I don't ever recall many teams ever doing it in a big game situation. The Magic's had a great chance to split the series with Lakers in the 2009 Finals, before Jameer Nelson gave up a three to Fisher to tie the game with a few seconds left to send it to OT.

IS SCOTT BROOKS BRAINDEAD?
Overtime tied game not much time and Westbrook takes the ball kills the clock, and then passes the ball to durant with virtually no time. Why wouldnt you just let durant go iso? or atleast give it to him sooner? wtf are the thunder doing? im dumbfounded.

This shows what an inexperience playoff team coached by an inexperience coach does. They should of drove it in with Westbrook, probably won't get the foul unless it's blatant though. It seems like both Durant and Westbrook wanted to be hero's and both are choking

Luckily he can't make FT's in a big game.

He had way less than 9 seconds when Westbrook passed him the ball, really nothing for Durant to do.
