I just have one question and shockingly it's not "dude, WTF?". Well, on second thought, I suppose it could be pretty easily translated as such, but in the interest of my own curiosity I'd just like to ask what the plan was there. Far be it for me to think I have better court vision than an NBA player, but like...in his perfect world, how did Wesley Matthews see that cross-court, overhead throw-in to a blanketed teammate playing out? From the outside looking in, it kinda seems like the optimal result would have been suboptimal in prospective completion percentage. With all due respect to Bojan Bogdanovic, he doesn't exactly strike me as a Randy Moss-type receiver who is even open when he's not, so depending on him to pull in the type of circus catch that saves NFL head coaches from their own lack of creativity in calling untimely fade patterns seems questionable at best. Maybe there's something I'm missing, but I don't think it's a good sign that I'm struggling to see whatever the hell it was that Wesley Matthews thought he saw. In fact, I don't think I'm going out on too much of a limb in saying the absolutely absurd outcome lends more support to my confusion than his confidence, so perhaps an explanation would do some justice to his Fail Mary of an instant turnover that all-but-ended a playoff game in anti-climactic fashion. Probably not though.
