[Video] Chandler Parsons buzzer-beating three to force OT vs. Lakers 4/17/2013

I mean... I knew Chandler was hot, but I didn't know he was this hot.

<3

 

Im not trying to take away anything from Chandler Parson, but why is no one talking about Lin's pass. Chandler Parson's made the shot, but he would never have made it if Lin did not have the basketball IQ to throw that clutch pass. It was Lin's genius pass in the clutch moment's that got us to tie the game.... is what LOF would say

 

Handsome, tall, rich, Life is not fair.

 

As long as we're joking around... Lin almost gave up on the game and just laid there before getting the ball. Loser mentality.

 

The difference is that it went in the basket.

 

No Lin was too scared of the moment to take the winning shot himself, so he dumped it off to Parsons.

 

PRETTY TELLING

Chandler had to contort his body to be able to pass back to Jeremy.

He had the easier pass to Harden who was on his left. But no way he was giving the ball back to Harden.

Harden's drive and pass was easily read by Howard. On the scramble, we made one of our best plays of the night. Move the ball, Harden. I wish one of our guys would b****slap some sense into him.

 

Without Jeremy, Parson could never get his shot off.

 

Very good observation. If Parson had passed to Harden, he wouldn't be able to get it back.
He tried so hard to pass back to Lin and positioned himself for the shot. Surefire! Lin drew his defenders off and gave him back the ball.
Bingo, the shot was wide open. He just knew that Lin would give him the ball when he was in position to shoot.
That's trust.

 

You are sick. Lin was further away from the basket and that was not a good shot. He's wise enough to drew defenders off Parson and passed back to him for the wide-open tying shot. The shot at Parson's position is a higher percentage shot facing the top of the arc. That's a great assist and good playmaking.

 

He's a hustler and getting better and better

 

Chandler makes the right plays day in and day out.

Beautiful how it all came about. That was fighting.

 

False, Blake was in his way.

 

Swing and miss.

 

If One Direction keeps getting better, the Rockets might not be about to afford to resign him.

 

Even more importantly:

Without Greg Smith, Jeremy couldn't get the ball back.

 

It was the obvious choice to pick with Lin 10 feet away from the 3-line and 2 Lakers closing in while Parsons was wide open

 

Check out his college buzzer beating days at Florida. This was just like one of those days.

 

Except he made it, being the main difference.

 

amazing shot, but man what an awful possession!
