     Why do players always take stupid a$$ shots in crunch time? Dunleavy jacks one from 28 feet with 12 seconds to go, Felton took a 3 triple teamed with 10 seconds to go I believe. When Washington played UNC that guy took a half courter with over 3 or 4 seconds left. Villanova vs G-Mason, Stokes (or Fisher can’t remember) took an awful angle shot with 7 seconds to go. Those are just off the top of my head. Why do they force horrible looks with plenty of time on the clock? I want the Bulls to win and I am still mad at Dunleavy.

     Yeah, I find it kind of funny when players doing that. I remember watching a college game this year and there was like 12 seconds left yet someone put up a shot past halfcourt apparently thinking the game that there was about 2 seconds left not 12. Game ended up going to overtime and think that team lost. Can’t remember who was playing, I was just flipping channels and I saw it.

    Not quite sure why players do this but it is kind of funny to watch, and just think, "do you really think that’s gonna go in?"

    Causes people to choke. Sometimes the same things you been doing all game don’t work in the closing seconds. This could be because your shot is altered by however your thoughts are at that moment.

     Yeah seriously. Do you really have to be the hero? Like Felton was essentially triple teamed, I guarantee someone had a great look with plenty of time, but he jacked it anyways.

    Star players do this all the time. I know you are the best player, but that doesnt mean you should take 30 foot, fadeaway, double teamed shots with 7 seconds left. You have 7 seconds left, drive and try to get fouled or pass it around for the open shot.

    dunleavy’s shot was a play that was set up really well. i just dont understand why he spotted out so far out. maybe step in would have made the shot a better. idk, but i did like the play vrogel drew up.
