WTF, we should have held it longer so they wouldnt have 8 seconds
 
After Outlaw's other game winner shots, I knew they'd go to him.
 
Holy crap! WE WIN!! YEAHHH!
 
That was an awesome win. One of the best wins so far this season.
 
Nice win, big one for us. Was really happy to see Bayless out there playing wel
 
Well, I guess that's why we pay Travis 4 million a year -- so he can give us two or three of those last second isos he has no business making.
 
Pretty stoked with that comeback win. Good effort from a lot of guys.

They need to work on hitting the boards. I think the final tally was 41-27....

we switch everytime on everyplayer against every team. teams know this and take advantage. chalk that up to coaching

Nate is opposed to switching, and criticizes them for it frequently.

Just players being lazy.

great shot, BUT made his move way too early

Down by 1 you have to go that early, because if you miss the shot and Det rebounds, you foul them, let them hit two FTs, and then you have a chance to shoot a 3 to tie the game.

That's by design. You don't want to hold for the last shot when you're BEHIND (if you're tied, than you do) because if you miss then you have time for an offensive rebound, or you have time to foul the other team and get another possesion.

kingspeed, seriously that was not a good shot by outlaw. he made it yes and i'm glad he did, but that's not a good shot and our offense was anemic. good game by outlaw (despite 4 or 5 boneheaded plays) now he'll probably disapear for the next couple games.

i agree with the rebound part but i don't with the "if you miss" part. you take the shot with 3-4 seconds left to get the rebound.
 
Our long ball saved us this game. We were 6 of 8 from the 3.

We got killed on the boards, though. Detroit had 40 rebounds, while we only had 28. Surpised we could win with this type of defecit in rebounds.

That was a great shot. He can get off any shot he wants with the pressure on and make it. He has done it SEVERAL TIMES. Dean Demopolous didn't call him "one of the league's best clutch players" for nothing.
