Personally, I didn't like either of the two shots he shot for the reason that with both of his choices, he gave up his position. If you notice that on both occasions had Scott chosen ...the two rail bank..in position one, or playing off the 11ball in position two, he would have clearly had the much better position. 'In position two, playing the 2ball the way he did at least had some merit. Had he made the 2ball he would of been in reasonable position to do some damage. Also he played a good cue ball in position two. So in that position I kinda understand his thinking. However, in position one, when he banked the 9ball , he really wasn't accomplishing anything, even if he made it...which he did. The ball that he made wasn't imo as big as...if he would of two railed the 9ball and played to trap John.
I've also notice that Scott seems to ...never...play his best game when playing John.
