I have the ball, 8 points ahead, 1:03 time remaining the game. No faults. Tactics is patience!

Then my SG tries a 3-pointer when still 17 secs on a clock?

Should I fire this guy immediately or is it a bug with this software engine?

There are actually NO players over 14 years in Finland at least, who shoot behind 3-point line at that situation (17 secs still).

Is this a bug?


I shouldn't start talking about this again, but... just now, in the NBA playoffs, with the Hornets leading the Mavericks by 12 with 1:15 left, Peja Stojakovic of the Hornets took a three-pointer with what looked like 16 seconds on the clock. (He made it.)

Ha, me too.

Weird coincidence, since I've watched about an hour total of the NBA this year. :)

There is often no problem with taking a good shot early in the clock. The Celtics did it all the time this season. You're not going to make it all the time, but what's the use of working off 20 seconds of clock and getting a worse look.

And an open 3-pointer by Peja is as good as you can get. Now, a 15-footer by Ben Wallace is a different story...

Yep! But you always should have one good shooter to make a try. When stats are under 10% there is no sence to even try it.
