I didn't, the chance that a 90%+ FT shooter misses 4/5 is really tiny ;-)
But it happened.
Yeah, an idea that comes up repeatedly would be to replace Sergio with Conley. There have been intense talks about a swap of Conley for Outlaw and a piece. But some people on BE still think Sergio is the second coming of Steve Nash or at least Jason Williams.
