    Cut Jake. He looks good on an empty court, but can't get it done against an actual defense.

    The numbers don't matter.
    You can have disparates numbers but a fairly called game and vice versa
    What matters is what happens on the court and anyone that has been watching the game knows it's been bullshit

    They ran out of gas. Pure and simple. Refs have been shit on both sides all game anyway.

    No, he just doesn't believe it should ever be used as an excuse for losing.

    And I agree with that.

    Look at shot selection. It appears to me that Cleveland is more aggressive. We are settlingvfor a lot of jumpers. Cleveland seems to be attacking the rim more.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but that's what it looks like to me

    You'll get no argument from me there. However, I'd like to see if we'd stink purely because the other team locks us down with legit good play, rather than for the waters to be muddied by shitty officiating.

    You don't have to be defensive about it.

    We stopped trying when we realised that the refs weren't going to stop shitting on us.
