Mo Williams is an Idiot, Throws Buck's Chances Down the Drain vs Charlotte

So here's the situation. Down by three points. Seven seconds Left. You have to inbound the ball from your own baseline and a three-point shot is the ONLY chance to send the game to overtime. So what does Mo Williams do? Well if you guessed that he attempted a desperate three-pointer to tie the game, you guessed wrong.

Instead of trying to tie the game, Williams inexcusably drove to the basket, scoring on a goal tended layup to bring the score from 100-97 to 100-99 with .7 seconds left in the game. Nice one. That sure does a lot of good.

So one of three things must have happened then.

First, Williams could have knowingly went for the quick layup and hoped foul Bobcats quickly afterwards, but its kinda of hard to do the whole foul and chase thing with under a second left.

Second, Williams knew the Bucks were down by three and thought that he could get fouled while making the layup to tie the score, something that's not likely to happen considering that Williams hardly makes those types of plays and that your asking for way to much to happen in that play to go your way.

Third, Williams somehow forgot the score and thought that the layup would tie the game, not something that you would want your point guard, that, by the way, you just paid $51.5 million dollars over the summer, to be forgetting. Either way, Mo Williams is an idiot, and should have just attempted a three-pointer.

Anyways, Williams finished with the most shots attempted (18) on the Bucks roster, along with six turnovers and only four assists. Meanwhile, Charlie Bell finished with zero turnovers and led the team in assists with five as the back-up point guard, something that he should not be for long considering that Bell actually tries to get his teammates involved in the game and is much better defensively than the shoot-first, pass second Williams.
