Do you not agree that aiming at the down player's flank, hip or lower leg might have been a preferable strategy? I realize it was a split second decision, but imo the force of the throw and JS's aiming for his head are less than ideal. I am all for hustling and valuing every possession, but this did not occur during a regular season game or playoff game.
Obviously many DBR participants feel differently.
