Dorell Wright says that 3 was his first game-winner since high school

He's done it before, and it was recent.

Game winners. the 4 of those they were either already ahead, or it was for the tie, or lost. So this was a TRUE game winner.

 

[jlprk]

Picky, picky. And if you set that to 2-pointers, the list is longer.

Hey. I'm just showing what they were giving me. lol.

 

[jlprk]

I added: wins only, and only when his team was behind when he shot.

Again, though. That shot just tied it. It went into overtime which GSW won. This is a pure game winner... no points after.

(Picky, picky. I know.)

 

[jlprk]

Yes, he sent it into overtime, which his team won.

Actually, damn... No points were scored in the rest of regulation. But he did score 8 points in OT. Okay. I concede. Good find, sir.

 

[jlprk]

Changed it to the last 2 minutes...

http://bkref.com/tiny/1dlLd

Okay, on picky, picky technicalities I admit I lose. How about changing it from 5 points behind to 7...oh let it go.

 

[jlprk]

Wait what? We both gave up like Southern pre-Civil War gentlemen?

I want a recount!

I was thinking a few hours ago, I think this is the anniversary of Lincoln's assassination. One year till the big 1-5-oh.

 

[jlprk]

I looked it up. Today, April 9, Lee surrendered so the war ended today. 5 days later, they killed Lincoln.

In better news...this is Hugh Hefner's birthday. 29 minutes left to get to the party, before Midnight.

[PapaG]

Well, that was interesting.

 

[OneLifeToLive]

How did someone with a handle being 'Trout' ever get the nick 'Catfish'?

 

[jlprk]

Well, that was interesting.

I TOLD Lee not to withdraw to Richmond, but would the young man listen? Of course not.

First profound thought in the whole thread.

Rice, Barrett if either of you are in the forum feel free to respond

He is from Mississippi and he likes to catch catfish. "Trout" was for TRavis OUTlaw.

Thanks, Pops.

In all honesty though, I thought it was because of the shiny round head.

Here is another.

Any real reason why the game was as close as it was?

So just another game with a team of a lack of concentration and focus.

I've never seen a team take more games for granted. They just about lost another due to this.

 

[MARIS61]

A win is a win.

We won the game!

 

[BBert]

LOL Meyers!

Ha, Ha. Meyers is such a fan.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Ha, Ha. Meyers is such a fan.

I was doing the same thing at home! The B-3 bomber!

 

[BlazerBeav]

Ha, Ha. Meyers is such a fan.

I like the kid, I really do - if only he could figure it out this offseason.

 

[Kaydow]

Ray McCallum played like we hoped CJ McCollum would. 23/8/4/3, zero t/o. That around-the-back, fake pass, finish with left hand was smooth, & that last shot after Wright's 3 ALMOST went in. Props to Kings for finding him out of Detroit Mercy U in the 2nd round. Didn't look like a Will Barton 20/10 out of nowhere fluke (bunch of lobs/dunks) either. He hit 3s, midrange jumpers, finished at the rim in half court & in transition. He made all his FTs, and had the confidence to take the potential game winner. Anyone else impressed with this kid last night?

 

[BBert]

Meyers' offensive talent and potential is beyond question. But I don't know how you develop defensive reactions and instincts in off season training. And that's the problem.

 

[HailBlazers]

LOL Meyers!

Hilarious, had to watch it like three times.

Yup he can score and does, but always gives up points on the other end so its a wash. My vision for Meyers' success is the 4-5 year plan. We're on year two.
