    Depends on the team we're facing.

    EX: Tonight vs. Lakers, I would have taken a three, because most likely we would lose in overtime. Experience of the Lakers is too much for us. Also because Brooks would be way out of gas.

    But if we're playing some scrub team like the Wolves, go for the tie, because we will destroy them in overtime.

    With a game tomorrow, first game of the season against the Lakers? Go to Martin for three to steal the win.

    At home? It depends, but I would definitely play inside out and go for over time.

    None of this would have happened if Brooks could guard Blake at the 3 pt line. That's the only way Steve Blake can score.

    Honestly, I'm surprised there was not anybody on the other end of the court, waiting for the kickout from Brooks if that was our set up play. I mean Scola was open but Brooks obviously didn't see him...

    Definitely A. You go for the tie when playing at home.

    With the shooters we have, I'd go for a 3-pointer.

    I thought Budinger should have been in the game too. He's great moving out the ball, and he can shoot off the screen or you can throw the lob to him. Adelman must really believe in Battier to have him in the game instead.

    On the road...go for the win. I would have run a double screen for Martin.

    I really feel like their first option was to go for the win, but it wasn't there so they went for Brooks at the basket.

    I don't think there was enough time for a kickout once they got it into Brooks.

    Well since we were on the road, I'd go for the win. I don't like our chances in overtime in the Staples Center (maybe if it's against the Clippers).

    Of course you go for the three here. Bad play call.

    I would have gone for the win, they have the guys capable of hitting 3s and a guy in Brooks who in great in the clutch. I didnt really like the play call they did

    I would've gone for overtime. Gasol had 5 fouls. If we fouled him out early in overtime, I don't think the Lakers could've beaten us.
