End of LAL vs Utah game.

Lakers up 3 with 0.07 seconds. Why the hell aren't all 5 Lakers outside the arch. Any Jazz player inside the arch should be allowed to roam free.

I see this all the time, how fucking stupid are these guys and they pay Mr. Potato head to coach the Lakers.

It's the Mike D'Antoni syndrome.

its not like they were just inside the arc doing nothing. they were sticking their man and running with them to the arc. you cant just stand on the outsdie of the arc with your hands up not guarding a man, if you did a smart player would just find a seem and get an open look for 3. they also switched everythign so no one would get trapped in the paint. i actually think they played the situation perfectly.

the other day a guard faked he was going to drive in the same situation, a defender switched off to help, the guard passed to the now wide open teammate who stuck a three

it may not be the coaches, some players lose focus (or don't have any)

just stay with your man and let the dude drive to the hoop and lose the game if he wants to

I've seen that happen too Willie. The team is down by 3 with very little time left and the player sees an opening and drives for the basket for 2 points.
