You were only now persuaded? So all the threads you created about Leonard's greatness before that game were lies? Please say it isn't so, swish3.

Thanks Wizard Mentor. This video notes the important 1st half play although featuring the 4 min end of 1st half scoring burst and multiple times Meyers was open on the arc for passes from Dame, CJ, Seth, and Evan would make the comment even stronger! Next season, we can add plays for him and extend Meyers role to both halves and on to the Championship.
NBA TV replay now emphasizes the contrast in the 2nd half when our guards stopped passing to Meyers, who shot his first FGA with 2 min left in the 3rd Q. Instead of the missed shots and bad passes, and if fouls on Dray Green were called, Meyers could have scored 8 points more and kept us on the path to win. Dame, CJ, and Rodney should have been feeding the hot hand.to keep our 15 point lead alive. As Terry said, it helps when the ball goes in, and it was going in when Meyers was shooting!
Dray Green obviously fouled Dame on his OT drive, and Meyers before the ball was inbounded. In the replay, the refs no-calls against Dray decided the game as I see it. Dray has coerced the refs into making him seem much better than he is. It is so unfortunate that Dray hit that swish3 and our shots failed to fall. But we will be back next year!
Pascal Siakim had a great game in the NBA Finals Game 1 win that made the difference and got the TOR win. The 32 points on over 80% FGA shooting was a lot like the Meyers 30 points with 75% FGA shooting and shows how close we got to the win in WCF Game 4. That first half Meyers performance just needs to be kept alive with plays for Meyers in the 2nd half, and we can beat GSW. The remaining TOR-GSW games will be instructive to watch, as I think that TOR has a chance to win the series and is giving us good strategies for beating GSW next year.
