One is weighted much more heavily in my mind, but all we hear about from some is the coaching. “Set aside the FTs” should never be the opening statement in any rant that had a historical FT meltdown in a game. Kidd coached them to a win, they couldn’t seal it by making 2 out of 5 FTs (not to mention all of Luka’s misses throughout).
With better coaching the Mavs would have won the game...they were severely outcoached, especially situationally.
With better free throw shooting the Mavs would have won the game.
They are BOTH true.
Yes the coaching was poor during the game (but was good enough to win), but the FT shooting is completely inexcusable
