    You know, you could rewatch the last 4 minutes and accurately come to th right conclusion.

    I suggest you do that instead of spreading misinformation. I cited the GT because it’s more readily accessible just 1 thread above.


    Reed was pulled. I have no idea why you are continuing to argue this. It’s insanity.

    I'm gonna solve this - it SEEMED like Reed was yanked earlier in the 4th because the last 13 seconds - due to multiple timeouts & a review - took 5-10 minutes of real time.

    C'mon Ime, brung him back in.

    Are you talking about OT. Because you responded to my first post where I mentioned regulation. I said he played the last 15 minutes straight of regulation. Which he did.

    maybe we have a misunderstanding. I think you’re talking about OT, when he didn’t play.

    just to be clear…I’ve watched this game twice, as well as posted 4th Q stats.

    Honest question, do ppl really think he got yanked in the 4th Q, or are we chatting with hallucinating AI?

    I did think he got yanked but I was like watching on delay & flipping forward so it was illusory yankage (and then he didn't play in OT so it conflated)

    He ran the offense several plays in a row in clutch time, and not just setting up KD. I was impressed Katie allowed him to do that. :D And after a Maxey fastbreak to tie, he attacked right back and barely missed a crucial layup with 30 seconds left, score 115-115.

    He was yanked in overtime. That's what he's saying.

    Not enough. He should be drawn, quartered, debanked, and julienne fried.

    Really? I hope so, bc that’s why I asked. ppl responding to my post about how he got to play the last 15 mins of regulation and I get responses saying he was yanked .

    I was impressed with how long he got to play. Might be a new trend. Happened twice in a row now..

    fwiw: I don’t think I ever heard the word yanked applied to someone who just played 15 minutes in a row.

    If a near-40 year old can play 44 minutes, Reed can get 26 minutes with an overtime period without an oxygen tank.

    I still thought it was awesome two game in a row he played the last 15 minutes of regulation. Could be a trend

    I do agree Reed should have played in OT. However, HP is right. You are cracking, man. Jk.
