So...look...I'm been pretty much driving the "Vince Carter needs to be reigned in" bandwagon, and have been for some time. But that shot was completely justifiable. The most important thing in that situation is that you get the 2 for 1. THE most important thing.

Even if there's a 20% chance that shot goes in (and I'd argue it's a bit higher with Carter), that's a shot you take every single time, given the time on the clock.

Overall I thought the game was quite encouraging, but we're quickly nearing the stage where moral victories are useless (if we're not already there).

And despite turnovers not being a huge issue until overtime, OJ has got to figure out a way to keep a better handle on the ball. I'm getting to the point that I just don't trust him to make any kind of pass.
