NBA PLAYS 2010

jimmy butler esp in the first like 2/3rds of the season when he’s kinda coasting is a serial lay up passer upper for an open three and for like two seasons it kinda really bothered me but enough of the threes kept going in that i had to be like, ok it’s the right play

gordon is standing directly under the basket on this play so it’s not like he had a direct lay up tho of course he could’ve gathered and finished thru brunson/hart if he wanted to. but the speed and accuracy of the pass to get KCP a wide open corner three is pretty nice

yall are brainwashed!

dont even gather just jump straight up and drop it in the hoop reverse dunk style

he couldve scored there easily prob what trigged his pass instinct was that he was in a weird spot directly under the basket with his back to the backboard and there were two defenders in the area, feel like its become a standard thing to kick it out when you draw two, which is prob winning on average but sometimes leaves something on the table

i think if you're hitting a guy for a wide open corner three who would otherwise be guarded -- which is to say not passing to a player who the defense wants to shoot -- it's prob the right move these days in almost every game situation these days. when you're talking about like the fourth quarter of a tight playoff game then probably not, but the way most regular season games are played these days... i understand why it's offensive to the soul tho

gordon is pretty good at finishing those plays but the nuggets play on a string so well that he prob just knew/already saw KCP in the corner and just continued the play instead of finishing it himself, pretty much a win win situation

gordon pretty clearly had better shot there the pass was a mistake but it was still a good shot

yeah he made the shot to complete the highlight but its unsound and i cant be talked out of it. gordon caught the ball in the same spot (prob worse positioning) with brunson draped all over him on the behind the back pass from jokic and managed to do the right thing
