[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1532817, member: 588522"] I know it's been discussed already, but that shot by Fraizer was one of the worst decision's he's made all year. I get the (presumed) mentality: Hit that shot, confidence boosted, game essentially won. Between that and the next position where Ayo took it to the rim and missed early, we should've knocked 40 seconds more off the clock (when there was only about 100 seconds left on the clock when Fraizer heaved that 3). Ayo missing that front end was so reminiscent of the past decade. Given that we won (and that's all that really matters), I'll chalk it up to a good thing, these guys have had very few games like that and situations like that. Learning experiences like that, especially when it doesn't cost you a game, are invaluable. It's easy to teach something and make it sound logical and have players buy in. It's another to have the exact situation happen, have the (almost) worst case scenario realized when you go against the teachings, and now have a great example of what not to do. Sliver linings.
