Re: Open Shot

[Douglas342@AOL.com]

    After reading this thread, I was thinking about the Laker-Portland game 
yesterday.  (I missed the C's game because I was at the NASCAR race.)  I 
heard the last few seconds on the radio.  The Lakers were down 2 with a few 
seconds to go.  During the timeout, the announcers were talking about who 
would get the last shot.  Interestingly, neither one thought it would be Shaq 
or Kobe.  The color guy picked Derek Fisher, and the announcer pegged Horry.  
It was Horry.  So maybe using someone other than your go-to guy (Pierce) in 
that situation is good strategy, as the Portland defense was on Shaq and Kobe 
like a blanket.
   Again, I didn't see the game, so ...
