    I have to say, this team is amazing in the variety of ways it can find to wrest defeat from the jaws of victory.

    Again, really curious as to the records of teams who scored the first 7 points in OT and then lost - Im trying to search for it..

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, it's kinda remarkable to be -20 in a close game. One game samples of +/- mean less than nothing but that's still incredible.

    He shut Millsap down all game. In the end he gave up an off balance, left handed slop shot that Millsap was forced to take at the last split second. We got a little unlucky that it rolled in. He probably got a little over aggressive when he saw Millsap start to bobble the pass though. Could have stayed in his stance more and made Millsap shoot a contested jumper.

    We need at least one more front court player that can get off their own shot without forcing hero ball. You can't win with Vonleh and Davis getting major minutes.

    And yes, I agree Stotts is part of the problem.

    lol, Terry. "We were in there until the end."

    We gave up a 7 point lead in OT.

    In the 6 minutes and 43 seconds Dame wasn't on the court, we won by 15. Yikes!

    We were in there. Getting the 7 point lead is part of being in there to the end.

    He was beyond dreadful tonight. I'll give him a bit of a pass due to the post-trade funk, but he has to reignite his engine and soon.

    It should be more "we didn't make the stops necessary to not let them back in." I think that would be more appropriate, IMO.

    Hello Jusef! He is very good at the P-n-R....which makes sense because who in their right mind is going to get in his way as he is attacking the basket?

    That was mostly when Aminu and Ed were carrying us on both ends in the first half. Even Pat made a 3. It's not like that crew is going to log major minutes and sustain that success. And they were playing Atlanta's scrubs.

    There was a double OT game against the Spurs a couple years ago and the Spurs took quick 6 point leads in both OTs but we came back and won. Dame had like 40some points,

    I hope Nurkic got a good look at what we need tonight.

    And I hope Paul Allen and Olshey were there too.

    This one? http://www.landofbasketball.com/box_scores/2014/1219PORSAS.htm

    I wonder, though... since it was 7/7 and 8/8 in 1ot and 2ot if it was 6-0, 6-0 to start? or 8-2, I guess... I am also looking for more getting the first 7 points... but yeah, still impressive... I wanted to see if I could get a play by play countdown... will have to look.

    I thought Davis had a strong game off the bench tonight.

    Meyers: "No one wants to seize this opprotunity more than me."

    "I played as hard as I could."

    "I gotta keep earning my teammates' trust. I do a lot of good things on the court."

    (tried to transcribe it as fast as I could.)
