    Really? It was a loss against a great team playing at their height and making a very long three to beat us by one.

    No LeBron. Against team with best record. I believe they call it a "statement game".

    Fuck.

    Wondering what the thinking was on not using our foul to give

    Great offensive call to get Aldridge the lob. Poor defensive call to not have them take the foul-to-give.

    Stotts needs to figure out how to deal with teams doubling Lillard on the pick and roll. It completely takes him out of the game and it really seems to hurt our offense. We've seen it a few times now. LAC was doing the same thing.

    Champions don't need statement games.

    No. It's actually not the difference between a contender and a team trying to get their. It's one game of 82.

    Great defense beats great offense nearly every time. We need to fix our defense.

    Wade is savvy enough to throw up a shot, and there's no guarantee the refs would call it. That foul to give was as useful in that last play as RLEC.

    They have a feeling that we will meet in the finals. If I were a champion, I would want to make a statement.

    They sure celebrated like it was a statement game. Just saying.

    Great execution by Nic on the last play. LMA got the ball inside the restricted circle where only he could get it, and nothing between him and the rim but 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen some argon and trace elements.

    It was. I'm agreeing with you. Still hurts though. I wasn't being a negative nancy. It just hurt.

    I think it's safe to say we had at least 1 too many lazy passes at the top of the 3 point line tonight. Good lord that was maddening.

    Sounds like long bomb threes beat a double team nearly every time... But that's just what my eyes saw.
