I get all of what you're saying, but I think what it comes down to is...do we like Casey taking a 3pt'er in that spot, or do we like Casey faking past Lively and driving down the lane with a head full of steam towards Filipowski? You like the former, I much prefer the latter. The former is what happened, and it didn't work out. It's a wild "what-if", I know.
Remember - Casey doesn't have to finish over Filipowski...he just has to get to the rim and at least draw the foul. You go in with a head of steam and bad intentions, Casey's a hard man to stop. Plus...if he's faked past Lively and is basically 1v1 with Filipowski...one of those other 4 guys on the floor is open...likely for a 3, and those dudes are a whole lot better than 13% on the season from 3.
Good conversation, just agreeing to disagree.
