reminded me a bit of Rex Chapman's 3 in the playoffs for the Suns...in the sense that he was dribbling right, far beyond the 3 point line and off-balance (and not his usual release)
Well, if the Rockets finish the season 4-0 (or 3-1, with one of those losses against Kings/Warriors, as opposed to Hornets/Mavs), we almost need the Hornets to keep winning now. Obviously, we'd want them to beat the Spurs. Plus, if the Spurs went 3-2 and the teams were tied, and the Rockets get 3rd seed, you'd rather play the Hornets than the Jazz. The Jazz have a difficult stretch of games coming up (@ Dallas, @ San Antonio, finish season @ Lakers), but nonetheless, if they finish tied with the Hornets record wise, the Jazz have the tie breaker. Clearly, we want playoffs to be: 1. Lakers 2. Nuggets 3. Rockets 4. Spurs 5. Blazers/Hornets 6. Blazers/Hornets 7. Jazz 8. Mavs to set up a potential Nuggets/Rockets 2nd round match-up. Basically, what I'm saying is, I was really rooting for the Hornets last night, so good for Butler. The Hornets, mind you, finish the season vs. Suns, @ Mavs, vs. Mavs, @ Rockets, @ Spurs....BRUTAL!
I think he took a couple of steps without dribbling, once he caught the ball. Amazing shot nevertheless.
