Two extremely idiotic plays at the end of the game by both the Bulls and the Hawks tonight. I'm a Chicagoan and Bulls are my team, but both the Bulls and Hawks deserved to be eliminated for their stupidity. - Al Horford makes the free throw with 1.3 seconds left, leaving virtually no possibility of tying the game. - CJ Watson passes to Asik at the end of the game, when fully knowing the other team has to foul. Asik is a HORRIBLE free throw shooter. Both these plays just blew my mind. Let's just hope the remaining two series don't end so pathetically as these did.
OMG so true. I would not want any of their players on our team...except horford maybe. Josh and Joe both take the dumbest shots in the world. Teague often times does the same thing. So frustrating to watch...
don't forget josh smith's fade away on the possession before that. he hadn't been hitting the mid-range jumper all game and the lane was WIDE open...
The Hawks have the mental toughness of a toddler. That game that they were losing control and got blown out, you could see that they had just given up halfway into the 2nd quarter. No fortitude and little basketball IQ with that bunch.
Interesting examination on what may have led Smith to take that jumper. http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/5/...celtics-vs-hawks-nba-playoffs-2012/in/2775502 Celtics definitely fouled by holding on and pushing, it wasn't called.
