Did the Gary Trent Jr. play make Beasley’s fumble worse or more passable? I feel like he won’t get crushed as badly today because we just saw it happen.
Second hand embarrassment, to be sure. Tragic, really.
Yeah definitely better to be second ha, and for whatever reason (how vicious the dribble move prior, the New York limelight, whatever), people are way more fixated on Brunson's game-winner than they were on Tyrese Haliburton's! That takes some of the attention away, too.
I love Cade Cunningham. I believe he has a chance to be an alpha-level player in the playoffs, the best player in any series type of guy.
However, I did not like what I saw with Cunningham's shooting mechanics in this series. A lot of his minor flaws during the regular season became much more pronounced as the speed of the playoffs kicked in. This is a sign that he's "thinking" about shooting, and the mechanics aren't locked in even close to well enough yet.
This needs to be priority #1 during the off-season. I'm interested in seeing what it looks like in November.
In a way, the two coaches in this series remind me a lot of each other -- they'll make your team a lot better than it was before they came along, but neither one IMO is good enough to put your team over the top and win the big one.
Beasley was shooting that ball before he caught the pass. The hurry hurry mindset of the last second shot.
For sure, same with Trent. Sucks to see!
