    This whole "WHY DO WE LEAVE PEJA AND KIDD OPEN????" complaint baffles me. It's called helping out on Dirk. You know, that legit All-Star down low? The outside shooters have hit their shots like they're supposed to (and better than they have ALL YEAR LONG), and that's good on them, but based on the previous numbers, it's not a bad defensive strategy. Our lack of energy, on the other hand, has been our big problem. We looked dull and deflated the entire second half, and that's not going to win shit.

    Who the fuck would have thought that Stojakovic would be the reason why we're losing now?

    GREAT timeout by Nate. He's really earning his extension here.

    Mavericks won 57 games this year. They're better. We're a good team. Just not good enough. This series will probably go 7, but we'll lose.

    Okay, that's great and everything, but everyone knows that Peja is streaky. If he's obviously dialed in, why the hell don't they adjust their scheme and stop leaving him open? The guy was on fire tonight. Wouldn't it be prudent to stop leaving Peja after he's hit his second or third three pointer?

    Roy only played five minutes.

    Matthews played like crap again. 1 reb, 0 assists in 35 minutes.

    SG is a concern.

    Apparently, it's all reserved for the Timbers now. Blazers have mailed it in. I wouldn't be surprised at a sweep now.

    You know why. Because Nate is a terrible coach! Don't back down now, Mr. Negative!

    Not with the way we're playing. We look beaten. We're not even trying. This is not a playoff team.
