Basketball Question (Endgame)

[Green Kool Aid]

The daily dime on ESPN.com did a feature today on the Celtics blowing their lead. I would like to see any of your thoughts on this.

The Celtics are down one point with the ball, with 33 seconds to go, and call a timeout. They get the ball at halfcourt after the timeout. Keep in mind the shot clock in the NBA is 24 seconds.

Are you going for a 3 or a 2 here? Are you going to try to go for a "Two-for-one," in which you try to get your shot off before the 24 second mark on the game clock, in order to ensure another posession for your own team, or just looking to try to get the best shot at any point?

The Celtics execution was pretty bad, and they blew yet another huge 3rd quarter lead, and IMO, it was because of coaching.

Your thoughts?
