Near-heroic comeback try?
Or Evans stat-padding exercise? (Not that he doesn't deserve it)

Yessir!!that's what it looks like when Tyreke will develop that J
weeee!!
he definitely wasnt padding his stats but he was basically trading baskets with the spurs... tyreke makes a layup, spurs shoot ft's, tyreke makes another layup, more spurs ft's, three, more ft's, nocioni for three, more ft's... kings down 5 tyreke hits a meaningless 3 at the buzzer... unless he was fouled, made the shot and the spurs are called for a technical it was a meaningless three at the end of the game.
but it was an entertaining games nonetheless... you could tell that he was trying to win the game but at that point it wasnt winnable unless hill split some of his freethrows. duncan and manu did in the beginning which was cool, but after that manu hit his last 2 and hill hit his last 4... there really wasnt anything that tyreke couldve done to win that game in the end, short of a 5 point play to tie the game and send it to overtime.

Right, trading baskets gets you from down 13 to within 3 in the span of 95 seconds.![]()
So knocking off ten points of the lead in under two minutes is only "trading baskets?"It's much like when football teams trade "scores", only to wonder why they're down 21-9.
I think he was making the point that what "he who shall remain nameless" said about Tyreke trading baskets was misleading, as one freethrow < layup and 2 freethrows < 3 pointer.So knocking off ten points of the lead in under two minutes is only "trading baskets?"![]()
LOL @ the 7 people who voted for stat-padding.
Football coach Herm Edwards said it best, "You play to win the game."
A missed ft, another steal, a turnover, or a few more seconds and the Kings could've tied or even won the game. Anything can happen. He'll, imagine if Reke got fouled shooting the 3 leaving a second or two on the clock, made the 3. He went to the line, missed the ft intentionally, and Kings tip it in to the game. 5 point play and they go into overtime.
Stat-padding? Stat-padding is Ricky Davis shooting at his own team's basket and missing to grab the rebound to get a triple double. Not Reke trying to win the game.
Herm Edwards isn't really an authority on winning.
