Tristan “Triscuits” Thompson choked near the end of regulation, making just one of two free throws when making both of them would have obviously been better (it’s math). However, making zero of them would have been way worse, so Triscuits didn’t choke as hard as he could have. There was definitely a higher level of chokeage which Triscuits failed to reach.
But, it’s really LeBron’s fault for getting Thompson the ball in a situation where he might get fouled. Remember, Thompson is the guy who switched shooting hands for his free throws because they were so borked. Well, his free throws are still borked (more borked than ever, really), so giving him the ball when defenders are nearby is clearly a bad idea. Especially at the end of games, he should be limited to run-out dunks, alley-oops, and, uh, three-pointers from forty feet away. KYP. Know your personnel. I know mine but I don’t think LeBron does. Maybe he should mail me his championship rings since it’s clear I deserve them more.
