Almost believable, until Kerr subs GPII in his place.
How do you explain the spacing with that move?
Side note GPII was BBQ chicken today and couldn't finish at the cup, on top of his known weaknesses.
They obviously had a plan not to play Kuminga, at all, so they were counting on Moody not to shyt the bed (which he did).
GP2 was good defensively for the most part, he just didn't have a good game at the other end, which can happen. He's been playing well on offense over the past month, so it wasn't like this has been a trend recently of him not performing. They counted on their most experienced guys and just couldn't get the job done.
Generating offense wasn't the issue for them, it was just incremental moments at the end which cost them.
- Steph doesn't turn the ball over by dribbling into a double team
- Dray doesn't smoke a basic layup, looking for a foul
- Harden gets a shooting foul when he was passing
- A clear shooting foul on Jimmy doesn't get overturned.
That all happened with the game in the balance, and that's potentially a 3-4 possession swing right there.
