In defense of Doc, though, after Allen missed that shot it seemed like Rivers acted as if that wasn't the plan, didn't it? There were 11 seconds left, why rush it? That was very odd.
Re: the Cavs, if Szczerbiak keeps shooting like that, it could be a whole different story in the East. I'm not banking on it, though.
Did you see the replay? Allen inbounded the ball, Cassell stood up top and waited for Allen to run off of three picks and then delivered the ball as soon he came off the third one. I'd say that looked like a play.
Now if you think it was the wrong play, you'll get no argument. There was so much time I don't see why they felt like they needed the 3. Typically Pierce would have the ball and penetrate there, but even without them why not get the ball into Garnett into the post. At the least you probably get a better look for Allen on a kick-out. Not sure why they rushed that shot/play and not sure why NBA teams always go for 3 when down two on the road.
