So much of the talk is about the shot itself, without the context of how they got there and also the mechanics of shooting from that deep. It’s a really good breakdown from Legler and shows the value in what he brings to these discussions. Finally, he notes that while it was an open shot, shooting the ball from that distance is much more difficult when you are receiving a pass from the side rather than stepping into the shot with momentum, either off the dribble or from a pass being kicked out from inside. If Poole had been further out on the wing and Draymond had pulled Davis back, the Warriors could’ve set up Dennis Schröder to have to pick between chasing out on Poole or leaving Klay Thompson in the corner. Legler also wonders why Green didn’t put the ball on the floor given how much time he had to operate, to try and draw Anthony Davis back further and test Davis to see if he could fight the natural instincts to guard the ball. From there, Poole doesn’t space out properly from Green, choosing to stand next to him rather than pushing up further to the wing and closer to the three-point line. And now at 35, reigning NBA Finals MVP Curry is coming off a 50-point masterpiece in a 120-100 Game 7 win at Sacramento on Sunday that completed a comeback from falling behind 2-0 the most ever. Through these, he gained so much fan following and it kept increasing more and more day by day. Tim Legler spoke nothing but facts on the last play /9n4WNUR8WOĪs Legler points out, Green and Poole are both late getting up the floor, meaning the Lakers have an easier job trapping Curry higher up the floor. Some of his famous roles in movies are Muppet Treasure Island, It, Pirates of the Plain, Kinsey, Queer Duck, Burke & Hare, and many more. On ESPN’s Get Up! Legler offered up a tremendous breakdown of the play (4:20 of the above video) and how a number of factors led to Poole taking the extremely deep three, and how better process from Green and Poole in particular could have yielded a much better opportunity. While much of the debate was about the shot itself, Tim Legler’s biggest issue was with the process that led to the shot, starting all the way back at when Curry started taking off up the floor. He passed to Draymond Green who moved it along to Jordan Poole, who proceeded to launch a 30 footer with over 10 seconds left in the game that came up well short.Īfter the game, Green insisted he was fine with that shot, noting how Poole had been hot from three all night, but it was hard not to wonder if the Warriors could’ve gotten a better look than such a long distance attempt. Stephen Curry darted up the floor, with the Lakers bringing an immediate double to force the ball out of his hands. With 18 seconds to play in Game 1 against the Lakers, the Golden State Warriors got the ball down three with a chance to tie the game.
