   Yeah, it pretty much comes down to that. Even after he was probably told 100 times to not leave Ray, he did anyway.

   Thad and Sam didn’t react. Sam should have broke to Ray. Davis wasn’t the concern and Pierce wasn’t driving that hard…

   But Ray’s foot work, quick trigger, and accuracy made the play…Just incredible play and shot…

   On a positive note for Sixer’s fans…Iguodala has been hitting clutch Js lately with confidence…He was topped by Allen, whose been doing it for years…great game.

   Sorry, Thad, but this one’s completely on you. Never, ever, ever leave Shuttlesworth. Ever. Worst Pierce does there is tie the game, seeing as he was driving. I don’t buy his assertion that they were supposed to switch. Also, Jasner is the go-to for Sixers’ coverage, not Fagan.

   Young totally turned his back on Ray Allen the second Pierce got the ball. He just making excuses to cover his ass. Ever heard of ‘See your man and the ball?’ You can tell he probably played a zone defense most of his life…

   For real though, why wasn’t Royal Ivey in the game for a defensive possession? He’s our best, at worst 2nd best, perimeter defender, and he’s sitting on the bench.
