Matthews and Lilard killed us. Throw in some Batum in critical moments and that was the game. We missed Butler! And we need more dynamic scoring added to this team.
This one's on Thibs. He's not playing Noah or Boozer because they've sat so long on the bench they're cold. Hinrich dribbled away the clock. :24 violation.
Aldridge 4-20 Lillard 6-14 Batum 5-12 Matthews 12-19 Williams 3-7 Deng 6-17 Boozer 6-10, sat the whole second half? Noah 3-6, sat most of the 2nd half Dunleavy 3-6 Rose 6-19 Hinrich 4-12 Taj 3-10 Nazr 0-1 Teague 1-2
We needed a basket. Kirk dribbled a long time. Drove all the way from the left side to the right, to the baseline, across the lane, threw toward Deng and it was deflected OB. After we got it in bounds again, Kirk ended up driving down the lane and missed the basket entirely on the layup. Nazr came up with the rebound. Dunleavy had to shoot in a hurry and missed, Nazr rebounded again, but we couldn't get a good shot off. :24 violation. And that was the play that killed us.
