Barnes calls it "lucky". I get that it was a shot to beat the clock, but it looked pretty damn pure to me.
Okpara's stroke on the shot looked smooth and textbook. What if he's a shooter and Barnes never knows? This is a problem I have with Barnes, he often doesn't know his players' full abilities. Let Okpara take some of these shots, teams would not be able to defend the big fella with a jumper. If he hits a few of them, it adds a for opposing teams to have to worry about defensively.
Barnes has always handcuffed guys, his whole career and it shows when they play tight. He should let them play more freely
