I love baseball but hate baseball at the same time. As I was growing up, I lived and breathed baseball. I played it, watched it, studied it and marveled at the history of the game.

The shot would have tied the game but at that point 2 points would have been the smart play. He was off balance and tried to force the shot which clanged off the back of the rim. Forget the tie, get 2 and let the Cavs pick up their defense. Chauncey also throws a crappy pass that was intercepted by Gooden and then Chauncey runs over and fouls him! Still plenty of time on the clock. A bonehead pass…
