As crazy as this series has been so far, it would not be crazy to think that Game 6 could come down to the last shot. Who should take it?
Throughout the regular season, we live and die by Harden's clutchness. Sadly, his clutch gene hasn't awaken yet. But, you stick with him --- he is our finisher.
Let: a = degree of openness b= distance from the hoop define a function B: R^2 -> R B(a,b) = ab = ba and L: R -> Rockets Roster L(B(a,b)) = Max{ab}
Harden should be the one with the ball in his hands. After he makes something happen, it should be whoever has the best look taking the shot.
Our close out is frightening. Would rather flip a coin for the win than have to either go for the last shot for this team or defend the last shot for team. Hell, we might even have a higher chance of winning by coin flip over having to do either.
/thread. With the way the series has shaped up, it's getting harder to trust Harden, while trusting Daniels seems so easy.
I feel like only Howard can create his own shot. But then because of his free-throw percentage, he can't take the last shot. So the best way is to have a setup play to open up a shot, to have a scheme that gives scenarios to allow any of our guards to take an open shot.
James Harden has been clutch at the end of games in the playoffs, the problem has been the first 3 1/2 quarters.
Last two lines don't make sense. Here's how you do it: 1. B_i = (a_i)*(b_i) is defined for i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Add a time parameter if you want. 2. Player i is selected to take the last shot by choosing max{i} B_i (or max{i,t} B_it).
