Harden was dreadful
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 07:13 (six years ago) link
that was obv a huge block from manu but pop can't be happy about him leaving his feet to contest that shot from behind, since he probably fouls harden more often than he blocks the shot
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 14:22 (six years ago) link
yeah i had the same thought, he was really lucky the timing was right
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:00 (six years ago) link
Partially lucky but the w timing of it all manu knew that was the only shot he had and he had to shoot it right then
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:29 (six years ago) link
yeah he saw the whole thing perfectly, incredible play
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:32 (six years ago) link
and harden who always looks to draw a foul didnt even consider the possibility
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:33 (six years ago) link
harden def looked like he stuck out his butt and flailed a little after the block, if manu doesn't get ball harden might get the call
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:35 (six years ago) link
the block was appropriate tho as manu is actually harden's dad in many ways
he flailed afterward but util the block he had no idea manu was lurking

game saving blocks are one of the coolest plays
Yah
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 15:37 (six years ago) link
btw harden was so fucking cashed at the end of that game, having the ball in his hands so much is a lil problem

sensing a mini-trend where PGs spend so much time with the ball these days that in a playoff game with intensity and short benches even guys whose conditioning is good are running out of gas. same thing happened to wall in game 2.

also if manu hadn't attempted that block harden was getting a clean, very wide open look at a three. i wonder what the expected points would look like for him taking that shot vs taking three free throws. if harden had a worse look i'd be more willing to buy kevin's argument.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:11 (six years ago) link
yeah i was thinking abt the same also what are the chances of fouling my back of the envelope linear regression concluded that going for the block and not going for the block were of roughly equal value but then when i factored in sporting triumph and not being a fn coward nerd going for the block was clearly the superior play
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:16 (six years ago) link
harden shoots 85% from the line (let's say 80% given fatigue), so the chance that he scores 3 points to tie is (0.8)^3 or 51%. if you give him 85% the chances of him tying from the line go up to 61%. plus there's the possibility you foul him on the shot and he gets a 4 point play opportunity
versus he shoots 35% from 3
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:23 (six years ago) link
the hard part is whatre the chances of success/fouling on the block attempt tho
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:34 (six years ago) link
yeah but you can't figure the chances of blocking successfully are too high esp for an old guy like manu
not saying i didn't love the play just saying i'm sure pop said something. i think standard coaching up 3 is to contest but avoid fouling
― k3vin k., Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:41 (six years ago) link
the play got a lot easier cause of the clock situation
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link
if my coach tried to say anything to me after a play like that (i am an nba player in this realistic scenario) i wld put a nerf hoop over his head and dunk on him until he died
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link
His position was prime tho to block the shot. Directly behind takes away the chance of hitting arm by a pretty significant margin. If I was pop I'd be more mad about the end of regulation. Which lol he was
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 May 2017 17:15 (six years ago) link
lol he was v mad at pau

yeah this was the other thing i was gonna say. it's the most advantageous position to attempt a blocked shot, and also the way harden shoots he keeps the ball right above his head. it was basically teed up for manu, literally.
