They shot well, for sure, but as you know, MY considered opinion, after at least 3 viewings of each game, is that they were moving the ball and generating amazing shots. AMAZING. These weren't lucky shots, they were good shots against a very good Clipper defense who somehow didn't look very good to start the series.
Partly due to Luka being better than the Clipps expect, yes.
Partly due to Hardaway hitting everything he attempted, yes.
But to deny Carlisle's fingerprints on that is, imo, willfully ignorant. Not worthy of you.
It's a make or miss league, for sure, but "they're hitting shots" or "they're not hitting shots" is how casual folks watch basketball. I know you're not one of them, but in this case, I think you're selling the coach way, way short. Dude had the opposing (way better team's) coach bumfuzzled for the first two games of the series.
