Just to reiterate my point earlier... teams make instinctive bad decisions
on defense - even great defending teams like Boston (which Atlanta was
not).
Recall game 7 of Boston Vs. Cleveland, down by 2 possessions, seconds
left,
the last thing you want to do is give up an uncontested 3 point shot...
Lebron drove, and either Pierce or Posey helped on defense (bad move)
leaving Pavl...whatever his name is... wide open who then hit a three
point
shot.
That, JK, is why Rondo should have driven the ball instead of standing
around that the top of the key only to heave up a desperation 3 pointer.
Teams instinctively collapse the drive, even when they've been told not to
and, given time to think about it, know better.
