Sundiata Gaines Buzzer-Beater

Crawford averages more minutes than Landry doesn't he? I'm all for Landry, he's a Rockets. He's in a mini slump for the past 3 games though.

Not only does he play for the Rockets, but he is head and shoulders the best player on their roster. Scola is good, but take him off the team, and give Landry 40 MPG, and he becomes an NBA superstar. Rudy, the rights to Petteri Koponen and a future first rounder for Landry?

Rudy Fernandez is interesting, but no thanks. In terms of talent, I'd say Landry is on the same level as Brooks but they have very different roles. If Landry is given 30-40 mpg, I think he will average somewhere between 20 ppg / 8 rbg. I dont know if he's capable of becoming an NBA superstar yet though. At times he still struggle against better defenders, but his post game has really improved a lot over the summer. One other thing he's improving on is defense. If he can master how to free himself out of a double team, he'll be much more dangerous. The best thing about Landry is probably his efficiency and the variety in his game. He can also shoot well from mid-range and he's a very good free throw shooter, that's not very common amongst PF.

God I love cable. Just watched Hawks/Suns. Suns were up 4 with 10 seconds left when Josh Smith got fouled. After making the first and missing the second, Crawford got the offensive board and layed it in to make it 99-100. Stat splits a pair of FT's, then with 3 seconds left, Crawford hits a crazy long 3 to win the game at the buzzer. Far more impressive than Gaines imo (plus the Hawks actually matter)

Epic.

Preferred the result of the Suns/Hawks game as Crawford's heroics boded well for me in the daily predictions, but Gaines' shot will probably be up there as one of the top buzzer beaters of the regular season and certainly was a great moment for him.
