May never understand the NBA

May never understand the NBA Both games tonight teams have the ball with 5-8 seconds left and they dribble around til just before the buzzer goes off and launch VERY low percentage shots (Durant from 5 feet behind 3 pt line, Westbrook with fallaway and leaners and Pierce on a 20 foot fall away with a guy in his face.) Why not drive and then kick or at least make a couple of passes?? Guess thats why Im not a coach cause I just dont get it.
Agree 100%. Time after time all they get is a fadeaway jump shot with a hand in the face. OKC - Memphis game was a classic example. Are the defenses that good?
