Was pretty bad ace up in there tonight. So glad I had tickets to watch this game. Fantastic finish. & we got the dude for another 5 years!
Good that Kelvin Sampson told him: "Take whatever they give you" (as per Harden post-game interview) and that he took the advice Translation: "Don't f***in' pass the ball to anyone"
Clutch city. I love it. I just hate the damn annoying music they play right before the biggest play of the game. The music played at NBA basketball games is by far the most annoying thing about professional basketball. No one wants to hear that sh**. Oh yeah and the Red Rowdies, they suck too, they got to go.
That's the point of the play. Duncan can't leave Asik because the other 3 men are open to shoot a 3. So if Duncan plays Harden, Asik is rolling straight to the rim and Harden will make the pass for the slam, the other 3 players can't afford to cover Asik because then Harden passes to them for the 3. That's why Harden takes the shot with 4 seconds left, because he needs to either take the jumper or force Duncan to guard him, but still have enough time to feed Asik if Duncan doubles, or hit a 3 point shooter if there's a double switch.
I'm just saying he should have made him pass it . You can't have harden take the last shot if you are the spurs
