Actualy i would not. I would not have been happy with my SG ft% that game but my C taking that shot when i just called atime out to set up a play. I would have told one of my players to go to the basket instead of take the 3 and foul immediatky instead of heaving away with 20 secs remaining.

i'm not coaching the actual game so i should have more say before the game in determining who does take the big shots.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when youre sittin at the table. Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.

I see your point. You want the game to be more of a coaching simulator than it is. I'm not sure about that. I'd like it, but I think there are a lot of people who aren't interested in that.

There were only 10 seconds left. Maybe since you were shooting poorly from behind the arc the coach designed the play to take a shot early and either get an offensive board or foul- they were 6 of 23 from the line. It's not the way I would have gone, but its conceivable. Your point guard was blanketed and couldn't get the ball, your center was left open, he remembered the coach saying let it fly with 10 seconds to go, so he shot- what's his experience like?

How many times did you se Jordon or Kobe struggle to get the ball with 20 secs remaining. Maybe if there was 2 secs remaining but not 20. My point is that he there was enough time to set up a play in the tieout or call a second timeout if i cant inbound the ball.

I understand this is a computer game but ithe idea is to make it as real as possible and not having a go to guy during final stretches is slightly ridicoulus.

Look at last nights Sacremento/GS game. Triple overtime and both teams got the player they wanted to shoot the ball and each moment without any player taking shots that are not in their capabilities.

Check out the last possession of yesterday's Lakers game. I am quite sure Trevor Ariza is not the designated Lakers go-to guy.

But he is a 3pt specialist.

It would not have gone to Bynum at the 3pt line.

And that's why he was driving to the basket. Makes perfect sense.

(By the way, Kobe is probably a better three-point shooter than Ariza anyhow)

A career .271 3-point shooter is considered a specialist?

On the topic of the distribution of shots, check out BC Törööö's current cup game, (/BBWeb/reportmatch.aspx?MatchID=10336764).

Four elite in-position players and a lucky fan. One shot attempt so far for the lucky fan... wonder how near it was to being the best opportunity on the floor.

I'd hazard a guess that it was a 24th-second shot.

Could be, I wasn't watching.

In any case, this game could be rich raw material for those who are trying to figure out the game engine.

What about the Spurs Lakers game? Is Roger Mason the Spurs go to guy? Or is he 4th (at least ) behind Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili. This quote is from CBSSportsline:

"Bryant was double-teamed on the Lakers' last play, so he swung the ball to Ariza. But Ariza was called for traveling."

Trevor Ariza had the ball at the end of the game for LA, sooooo... ther's one out of the last one where Kobe couldn't or didn't get the shot off. It happens. I think that for every game where the go-to guy gets the ball, there is a game where he doesn't.

My point was that you aren't the coach, you are the owner / general manager / director of basketball operations.
