The issue is there's a big difference between a 'decent' and 'good' shot. With the time remaining, Portland could've gotten a much better shot than just decent.
The amount of confidence these guys (all stars) have is what makes them great. I believe Damian thought 100% that he could make that shot. You have to live with it. Its like having a quarterback who makes the occasional terrible throw and gets picked off. You can throw screens and hand it off all day and avoid all interceptions but great ones don't do that. End of the day, probably not a great shot. But that's what makes him special.
If CJ tried that shot this thread would already be at 20 pages of people crying about him not getting traded.
I keep watching that and I really can't find an issue with the shot. Sure, it's really long but it's also completely unguarded. I'd expect him to make more than half of those, shooting in an empty gym and that's essentially how unguarded that shot was.
I agree. It wasnt that bad of a shot. He has made them there before and after he pulled the juke, we had no defender on him withint 5ft. a wide open 40' practice shot. Soooo what. Maybe he should have drove. Fine. But I have no problem with this shot. If it goes in, you hail him a hero... Fricken feast or famin around here... never any steady.....
Right, with a WIDE open shot. You take that shot with 8 seconds left ot give you time to rebound and put back in case you miss.... Thought you were a coach?
I've seen him take way worse shots. Fading away with guys in his face. This one was set and wide open, I don't see why it's so atrocious that a thread has to be made about it
Some people don't know how to be happy or pleased or just get rid of the pissy mood altogether and it flows into everything else they touch or get involved with. Including forum conversations. NOT calling out the OP, just stating the obvious in general about this place. This place can be a haven for the constant negative attitude. mostly a place to vent these days right?
Guys on my teams that shoot 40 foot jumpers with time to run an actual play on the clock sit next to me for the rest of the game. Fucking ridiculous shot selection.
