End of game 3-pt logic Topic

Why, with 10 seconds left, was Cooks taking two threes in an attempt to tie the game?

A PF with a -2 and 11 per was the choice with two guards on the court over 50 per?

I understand if it's a hectic, last-second shot, but it was twice with over 5 seconds to go.     

Seems like that might be some logic for seble to take a look at.

Cooks was on the court with Zotos, Miller, Millman, and Byrne

It's amazing how often the defenses in HD force the ball into the hands of your worst PER or BH at the end of games.

Not only that, but I had guys with 81 per and 87 per sitting on the bench.  I didn't start them for specific matchup reasons, but there really needs to be some logic that says, "when you're down 3 with under 10 seconds to go, your best perimeter scorers need to be in the game."

Even without that, though, I'd rather one of my other guys jack up a tough shot than have my 11 per PF taking TWO to lose the game.
