That was by far, the worst game ending play I have ever been so unlucky to see. What the hell was that? Could someone tell me where that came from? Who designed that play? Yeah, nice f**king job coming back, but how 'bout a little execution? I really don't know what to say about that. The Rockets had their chances, and they simply-well- I don't know what they did. That was just disgusting. What a vile ending.
I have never wanted to laugh and cry so much at the same time. In the 19 years I have been on this planet, I have never seen a last second shot that bad. When Willis started looking like he was going to shoot, I was thinking no way. When it started going over the backboard, I just wanted to bust out laughing but then I realized this was a real life tragedy and I wanted to cry. That was just unbelievable. I cannot believe it ended this way. Of course it should've ended with the refs calling out of bounds for over the backboard, us fouling someone, and then getting another chance at a 3. Of course Cato would've probably taken it and taken out a family of 4 in the 5th row but still we would've had the chance. Anyway, great effort, horrible play.
Willis shot 5 for 12. I would venture to say that 4 of those 5 were dunks/layups. Why does Willis get to shoot in crunch time? Only time I want him to shoot is when someone sets him up for a dunk.
I was pissed off that Mobley didn't shoot the ball. He was open at the free throw line, but chose to drive the ball at Shaq rather than pulling up for the easy (for him) mid-range jumper. It was a stupid, stupid play. Every game, another heartbreaker.
Settle... Mobley dished the ball to Willis, but it was broken up. Willis recovered but he was behind the backboard. It was basically the same play we ran successfully all night to get around the huge shotblocking presence of shaq. I think it was the right call, maybe going to the well one to many times though....
