nor should he have. there is no blame just because it didnt work out. sometimes it just simply doesnt. two great players going at it. great game.
Agreed, timeout would have been wrong call. Also, Harden had rebound and immediately took a step towards his goal so a timeout would not have advanced the ball. Harden played a brilliant game and I can't rip him for the last play. Yes, he could've done something more but was not at all an easy play to make. He probably had 50 different thoughts run through his head in 8 seconds. Basketball requires so many split second decisions. My couple of friends that always overly criticize these decisions happen to be horrible at basketball. I've wondered if that is a real correlation or just a very small sample size.
