I am quite aware that Olson wasn't passing the ball, and obviously my comment didn't mean that
You think Stoudamire was supposed to get the ball? You are the first person who I heard that from. To me, its apparent that the play was designed for Adams to create (drive and score, drive and dish). That is why I said shame on Lute Olson. Stoudamire should have been the first player to touch the live ball. As I stated, he is a better shooter, better player, and more clutch than Adams. Not only wasn't Stoudamire given the ball from the get-go, I don't recall any designed picks/screens, flash ups, etc to get him the ball once Adams had it.
From my interpretation, I think that Olson designed an absolutely horrendous play. You said you were pissed about the finish too, perhaps you agree with me.
