(Many folks have pointed out Landry’s bounce in game 1 vs Cleveland was another such reversal.)

The whole series was a reversal! I wrote about the odd mirroring at the time – it was uncanny, being vs the Spurs, winning 4-1, a fingertipped shot that swung the series, a crazy comeback, a dominant center whom the game revolved around, etc. Lots of things. It really felt like cosmic righting of the scales.

(Edit: not just a reversal of our luck vs the Spurs in ’99, a correction of all the bad luck of the 90s)

We were down by 1 point when that happened. If he attempted to just run out the clock, he would have been fouled and would have had to make both of the free throws to make it a three point game. If he misses one, then we can potentially win the game with a three pointer.

However, he makes the layup and he guarantees that the worst thing that would have happened to them was a tie three to send it into OT.

It’s just that the worst scenario happened. He got blocked and we got the ball back and we were able to win with a 2 pointer.

I get his logic. It looked like a wide open layup was available for him to make.

First Hart blew a layup then spectacularly failed to box out Castle.

Then Fox inexplicably attempted a layup and spectacularly failed to box out OG.

If they fouled OG ahem boxed him out of that play I think KAT has an inside angle at the top tier. He was locked in for the bound.

Important distinction: KAT was locked in to rebound OG’s tip if he’d missed it. But he was not in position to rebound Brunson’s miss (he was on the other side of the basket). Without OG’s streak the ball’s rebounded by Harper or Vassell easily.

liked them, easy way to pass some time, a bit of an empty calorie affair (much like the show), but kept my interest through a few of the books…

watched the second Lanterns show…basically i am the target audience for a bunch of comic crap, but, not really sure yet what to make of the show…

it’s different…

if you’ve never seen it – totally underrated comic series: the Tick…

He belongs in one of the tiers for sure. A lower tier but he belongs there.

I’ll allow you to put him a bit off to the side, like where Lincoln is on the real Mount Rushmore. But he’s up there for sure, and he’s staring at Clyde, Willis, and Brunson with those twelve-foot pneumatically hammered granite peepers and they don’t doubt for a second that it shouldn’t be Ewing over there.
