Lance called the bank right before he hit the game-winning 3

Also notice Neal coming off the Al screen for what would have been a wide open three and notice Cliff's reaction.

They say the play was designed for Lance but it looks like he was supposed to hit Neal in rhythm for the shot.

Clifford isn't used to having superstar(s). Sometime, you just gotta sit back and let your star players do what God blessed them to do; God given talents.

In all seriousness it can't be easy for him to play new guys over the guys he knows and coached last year, but I applaud him for making the changes so soon. That, as much as anything has turned things around.

Lance is not a superstar. He is a very good all around player though.

 

Lance is all-star caliber right now. And by caliber I mean he may make it, he may not. But, he'll be in the conversation.

 

Superstar? You're right. Not yet. He's got an offensive game that could become Derrick Rose-esque and a defensive game that could become Ron Artest-esque. He's got the physical tools to get both of those things done.

 

Everyone has to remember Lance just turned 24 in September, he's really really young.

 

Right now, he's our Tony Allen but with a more prolific offensive game. When the Grizzlies got Tony Allen, it's really what propelled them to a Western Conference Final. That's what he is right now.

 

In 3-4 years? I see him being a max contract superstar if he can stay healthy and continue to mature. He's your classic Rucker Park, NY style baller. Mean, charismatic, and fiery. And yeah like you said very good all around player.

Cliff said in the post game that the play was designed for Lance to drive to the hoop. The defense made a good switch and he took the shot. Cliff said he made the right decision based on the call and the defense but I see your point about Neal. Still there was less than 2 seconds when he made his decision. That's tough.

One of my favorite things to do after big moments like this is blow it up on my PC screen and scan the audience. There are always a few fans: Hands on head guy, already celebrating guy, already sulking guy, guy with beer belly exposed, woman gasping with hand in front of mouth, and guy yelling "nooooooo".

 

 

The players have great reactions too. Cody looks relieved, Big Al looks like he believed all along, Bismack looks like he just saw his first pair of boobs, PJ looks like his professor just asked him to turn in his homework, and MKG looks like he needs the ball to go in more than anything on the planet.

 

Then there is this woman that looks like Julia Louis Dreyfus from Seinfeld and when the ball goes in she puts on her O face. The Black guy next to her looks unimpressed.

 

Kudos to the guy in the green Lance Stephenson jersey completely losing it behind the backboard. You can see all of this around the 1:15

weird, why would clifford act like wtf when lance asked for the dam ball during the timeout?

Because the play was designed for Lance to drive to the basket. Lance made the right decision because the shot went in... LOL

Jordan ' s reaction was muted too, like he was happy Lance made the shot but was wondering WTF.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
