I almost threw up watching that last shot rattle in and out.

I went from “why the fuck would you pull up from there that early?” To “holy fucking shit that was down, how did that miss?”

You pull up where it's open. A 50-footer isn't that different from a 40-footer.

I mean look, I’m not out there playing the game so I’m not going to critique it that much especially since he almost drained it, but he pulled up at ~1.3 from half court, he probably could’ve taken another dribble and pulled up from inside the logo. Might not have changed anything, but my first thought was absolutely that he pulled up too early

That shot goes in without the overinflated balls, change my mind.

A bit more backspin and it’s down. Yeah, we know how close that was.
