i would like your opinion on a play

[qontrolz]

online league game "sim"

60-58 for me

2 seconds remaining in the game

my opponent inbounds the ball after a time out, i have a foul to give, i foul as soon as he catches the ball (before he can shoot obv), foul is called late, 0.4 second left on the clock, he inbounds the ball but doesn't have time to shoot.

he's pissed and call me a cheeser (and report me) i think it's good coaching and pure NBA late game strategy.

what do u think?

It's a bit cheap, but alot of NBA teams are using this strategy nowadays.

The warriors used it against the Raptors just the other day. Raptors down by three with 9 seconds left on the clock. They inbound the ball at halfcourt and the Warriors immediately foul them sending them to the line to shoot two.

So it's a real NBA strategy, one that is a part of the game and just good strategy.

I guess, it would've been more reasonable if he had been down by 3 and you have no more fouls to give and send him to the line, then get possession of the ball. He was probably upset that you took time off from the clock for him without really doing anything.

i also do that 100% of the times btw

Don't listen to him (that reported you) that is 100% NBA strategy, if you have a foul to give, give it! No use in leaving the door open. If he can't get over the fact that he was Butler for a day, than he shouldn't even be playing this game. Not even LeBron James wins every game, no one wins every game. Great strategy there, that's being resourceful.

thx 4 the support lol

i also think it's good strategy and i personaly would never be mad at someone winning this way against me ... even if it could be frustrating not to have time to take the shot lol

btw the guy tried to inbound and shot with .4 sec to play

if i was him i would have tried a inbound alley hoop every day here

It is possible to catch the inbound pass and shoot in .4, and in fact even in .3 sec in this game. My friend hit one against me with .3 left in the clock for a quarter ending buzzer beater.

And nice strategy btw. Those online fools have probably never played the game of basketball irl.

.3? rly? wow

to shoot with less than 1 second is extremly difficult imo in that game, i thought less than .5 was just impossible (even with a quick release like mo williams' or harden's)

Yeah, I don't think it's possible with a normal jumpshot. My boy got it with that quick launch long heave from about halfcourt. In your case the kid should've definitely tried the alley-oop.
