That's why I'm not concerned. The first half really showed me something. I mean I really dont think we can play that bad again like we did in the 3rd quarter. Cj is going to get his points this time he rarely goes bad more than a game. I think the first game jitters are gone now and I'm almost certain we will win game 2. I'll give a more definite answer tmr
If we can pull a win out of game two, I will be very surprised. I would have thought that game one would have been our best shot. But after reading what you said. I tend to agree. Maybe the deer in the headlights feeling has passed and we can focus more tomorrow. Except...How are you going to deal with the biased refs if its a close game?
I think you'll see less biased reffing in this game. A 4-game sweep does nothing to help TV ratings. Remember, the NBA is a business. A couple extra games in the LA TV market is worth millions.
The Cavs pick is going to be Garbage. I'd much rather have Greg Monroe than that selection. Guys harp on his D but in my opinion he only needs a shot blocking Center behind him.
I think Dame is the only guy who has the right mindset about the playoffs. The rest of the team looks shaken and shell shocked.
I thought the same thing... especially with Aminu repeatedly missing his go to shot (3 on the side) wide open. And CJ won't have two bad games in a row. I don't know if they'll win Wednesday night but they'll play a lot better.
I loved it when they went to a 7 game series in the first round and still do... you get 8 games every weekend and 2 every night. I'm livin' the dream right now!
There is no harsh reality to me in this. The Clippers did what you would expect and experienced team to do vs an inexperienced one, they put a ton of pressure on our stars and made our role players beat them and our role players shit the bed by missing easy layups, plumlee, and wide OPEN 3's Aminue/Harkless.
By not relying on the refs, by taking the best FG percentage shots you can...shot first free throws second
