That was a really well executed step back jumper. A little long range, but I guarantee he has practiced that more than Doc practices the one foot fade-away. Tied game, up 3-1 in the series, was a fun and borderline reasonable way to end it From 37’? Maybe an All-NBA guy can make that shot. If the decision of college player is that this was his team’s best option in that circumstance, then he needs his ass chewed. May our opponents choose to win their games against us with 37’ contested jump shots at the buzzer. 100% agree, that's not "a little long range", that's a mile away - I'd let a college opponent fire that up every single time. Lillard is pretty amazing, though, and his deep shooting is going to a new level. There's only a handful of guys on the planet that can hit that kind of shot while guarded with any consistency, let alone as a playoff game winner.

And please....may no Hoya ever think this is a good choice for the game winning shot. That was a really well executed step back jumper. A little long range, but I guarantee he has practiced that more than Doc practices the one foot fade-away. Tied game, up 3-1 in the series, was a fun and borderline reasonable way to end it Really? From 40ft? It was a great short but do you realize the upper body strength it takes to hit that shot without stepping back? And on the collegiate level I wouldn't want anyone on our team setting for that shot....I'm with Paul George on this one...

In a hypothetical situation where we are up 3-1 in a best of seven and worst case is overtime, I might be a Little forgiving if it was one of our best bombers. Mac’s big winner wasn’t much closer in

That was as close as Mac could get to the basket in the time left in the game. Lillian dribbled out next to mid-court for close to 10 seconds before hoisting a 37’

Dame still shoots 39% from that range and Mac made a shot from that deep, or deeper, too. Those are the realities.

That says it all right there! No need for commentary from me. Just loving it that the young Bro has not forgotten his roots.
