NBA finals game 6: When the Warriors were down by 1 in the last...

[brush]

few seconds, why didn't they go down low to Boogie Cousins for a 2 point shot/possible foul intead of the 3 by Curry which everyone and their least favorite cousin was looking for?

They just needed one to tie if Cousins got fouled.That would have been so unexpected, with Curry as the decoy, it just may have caught the Raptors by surprise.

1. Hindsight is 20/20

3. Yeah, but I was thinking that then; Cousins had been scoring well.

A 1 has a better chance of going in. I'm surprised no one n any of the coverage shows mentioned anything but that Curry doesn't have a good record on last second, game-winning shots.

2. Every Sportscaster I heard and read said that if the Toronto Raptors won the Championship

they deserved the Championship.

4. They probably woud've won a game 7 at home anyway with...

the Warriors down two starters. I doubt they would've won if Durant and Thompson had been healthy the whole series.

But they won, so there it is. 10 years from now no one rememers who came in second.

5. Curry brung the Warriors to the dance, the last dance to Curry,

who could get his shot off. Big guys get doubled and troubled.

6. The problem was though there was no KD or Klay to have to defend...

also so everyone knew Steph was going to get the ball, and he got doubled on the 3. He himself maybe should've drove. All they needed was a 2 or a foul then foul shots.

I don't get why they thought they had to go for a 3 when a 2 would've done it. That is really my point. A 3 wan't needed and a 2 is a higher percentage shot. Even Kwali Leonard had been making mid-range 2s all series. Maybe the coaching staff slept on that one.

7. Because they didn't want Curry to blow something out in game 7?
