Ever since the Nets blew a couple of games early last season after allowing late game-tying three-pointers, Brooklyn Head Coach Steve Nash has had his players intentionally give fouls when up by three in the closing seconds--or sometimes as early as 15 seconds left in the contest.
As someone who was highly critical of the Nash hiring prior to last season, I must admit that he has made great strides this season, especially considering the Kyrie Irving distraction, with the superstar guard effectively banned from the team until the RIDICULOUS UNCONSTITUTIONAL, NON-SCIENCE BASED NYC MANDATE IS OVERTURNED
Also gotta give Nash credit for the challenge of Harden swipe of Luka. May have been a no brainer to some, but Reggie Miller was adamant that the call was going to stand (double goof by him because he also stated it would have been BKN's final timeout)
Surely appeared like it was going to be yet another disappointing loss where the other team's 2 stars collectively outdueled ours for 3 quarters. I was about to go on a "this-is-why-i-hated-the-trade-for-Harden" rant but then he reminded me of what he did all of last year for us.
I fixed it. Wink, Wink

Weird rotations, weird game, we'll take the W
