they tried trapping for the first 7-8 seconds, then gave up

they had +9.5 and wanted to make sure they cover

If that's the case then what was the danger in fouling? 2 FT's would have put them up and then if they didn't score they could have easily called it a night at that point down 8 with under 15 ticks.

With few exceptions (Quarterbacks in general), I don't consider professional athletes to be the most intellectual....but i cannot think of one person on the Boston team that is smart enough to realize this within seconds (Including Doc)

every game in the playoffs has fouls at the end. a two posession game is totally possible. anyone remember reggie miller vs knicks.
