I think he was referring to Game 1 of the 97 Finals

He'd hurt his hand on a dunk earlier that game IIRC. Peeled a patch of skin off the heel of his palm.

Yeah, at that point a 3 or an and-one would have made a big difference in the comeback. The Hack-a-Kessler removed that opportunity.

People are really ready to die on the "Walker's FT shooting isn't hurting us" hill?

Wow.

No one has said his FT shooting doesn't hurt us. What we're saying is that having a single-point possession at that point is a bit less catastrophic than you make it out to be.

Kessler was a huge reason we were on a comeback run in the first place.
