    Given how this quarter started, only down 7 doesn't seem too bad. Still, they are without 2 of their best offensive players so was hoping for better.

    Gross effort all around. Better hope that’s our worst quarter of the night.

    Pretty sure Lillard didn’t even touch him. Too bad Terry couldn’t challenge it. Oh wait

    In other words, they can't keep between their opponent and the basket. and we are talking about opponents like Bogdanovic and Ingles, who are not so swift of foot.

    Utah is very well coach there players plays together as a team. We need to step it up because we definitely don't want to go in playing.

    Would you say that good coaching can make up for injuries?

    To make matters worse, stotts -an awful coach - could have challenged it and got it changed to Nurk and the 3 points wouldn't have counted.

    But, that's stotts.

    Maybe we are better off missing the playoffs, ensuring a coaching change, and keeping our first rounder?

    Just layup lines. These are real playoff teams. Does not bode well.
