The team had problems with their plane. Didnt get there until 4 AM. Lack of energy showed. Despite the fact that NJ wanted it more, if we made our free throws we would have won the game. The clippers and this game came down to Free throws. I am not too upset with the loss. If we had Noah, the Clippers and this game would have been wins. We miss him on both ends of the court. I may be wrong, but I think not playing Boozer was due to the fact that his man played like an all-star with him in the game. Tom used the excuse of wanting shooters in the game at the time. I dont buy that. Carlos can shoot. No doubt about it. Rose didnt back into the game until 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter. I was beginning to think this was going to be similar to the first Knicks game, when he benched the stars during the stretch. I gave the coach the benefit of the doubt because we had a game the next day. We had an off day today, so my logic would not be correct.
