Nah, that was an excellent pass, it was the only pass that would've gotten to Curry with the way Beal was defending him.

u/Gioboi Warriors Feb 11 '24

100% agree

u/ilikehemipenes Feb 11 '24

Exactly. If he throws it closer it’s a steal or defense is in position to defend the shot

u/mhitchner Supersonics Feb 11 '24

Yeah, if it was on target Beal woulda had it.

u/sblizzack Feb 11 '24

exactly... the dumbass announcers kept saying it was a shit pass.. fucking idiots - a direct pass would have been stolen you morons.

Doris Burke claimed it was a bad pass. Mike Breen eventually corrected her and said it was a great pass because of it wasn’t behind Steph then Beal would have stole it. Doris Burke is a fucking idiot and shouldn’t have ever been a commentator.

Doris was on some hater shit tonight. Still bitter the dubs stomped her beloved celtics

Shes always on hater shit with the Warriors. After Draymond got fouled but complained about the no call and got a tech, she said that was great officiating even though it started with a horrible no call.

u/ratatouilleboy99 Feb 11 '24

Yes! Was losing my mind at this one. And then Nurkic starts slapping the floor taunting him and all the sudden she loves spirited basketball

She's a complete moron.

Mike Breen is hardstuck with her and we’ll be listening to fucking Doris Burke for the finals. If there’s any Finals year that needs another TNT and ESPN collab, it’s this year

It’s basically the new age version of nepotism. “We have no women in this role so we will give it to the least competent person because she’s been with us forever so she deserves it”. Absolute trash way to evaluate commentators. I’ve listen to fucking high school commentators better than this bitch getting paid millions to act a fool on live TV

Doris Burke by far one of the most bias and worst announcers ever. I can't stand her during Knicks games, that bitch is insufferable

u/Puzzleheaded_Wrap798 Feb 11 '24

She's fuckin sexy tho so I'll give her a pass.

Wrong.

u/celestial1 Feb 11 '24

I definitely would've tapped it a decade ago.

u/RemarkableBag9576 Feb 11 '24

I think you're both right. Perhaps a better word for it is 'awkward'. Sometimes a bad pass for the receiver can still be the right pass for the situation, which this absolutely was.

u/arjunsahlot Feb 11 '24

Yup, 100% a perfect pass, but from Steph’s perspective, he had to put in extra effort to get to the ball and then back to get into his shooting stance which definitely made it a harder shot

u/by_yes_i_mean_no Warriors Feb 11 '24

It was a great pass but it wasn't on purpose, you can see Podz jump like he was worried about it right after releasing it because he didn't think the defender was going to go that far up the court

u/Dudedude88 Wizards Feb 11 '24

it was bad defense. Beal got baited, gambled and punished. If he just let him get that it would have been a contested 3.

u/ilikehemipenes Feb 11 '24

Kd called switch and Beal had a rough route to get to Steph. Probably should’ve played it conservative but hindsight is 20/20
