Tale your chances with someone else beating you on a rushed shot

That's the debate and that's what the media have questioned along with the announcers who called the game.

I think they should have doubled. That's what I always think in that kind of situation.
But I also agree with Simon2 - they could have doubled and still lost, and that would have been questioned. "Resulting" is what fans and announcers do.

Also, there are other factors involved, bigger than the outcome of a single regular season game.

Yes. Especially on this forum, and I don’t think that’s what Carlisle does. This is why I think he knew it was the wrong call to make at the time, rather than just going off of how it worked out. He let someone (Dorian?) change his mind, and by the “it’s on me” comment he seems to be saying he shouldn’t have. TMac posted a stat that DeRozan has the highest point per shot in isolations, so doubling is correct.
