    Welp....

    I'll blame Party a bit. If he uses his 47" very to dunk that, he's at the ft line with a chance to tie. instead? Pussyfooting. that's a playoff play (or non play) right there.

    I blame Stotts a ton for all the reasons mentioned.

    NoP couldn't get 100 on us missing Moe and with our guards playing poorly. I'm not worried yet, but this just got way more interesting...

    We had the steal with a minute to go and CJ turns it over...Dame had a shot in the lane and tried to get a foul instead. We had our chances even before the stupid last plays, ball in our guards hands, and couldn't get it done. Frustrating. I'm amazed at the raw emotions I feel watching these games. I think it's not healthy.

    I'd like to think that this game makes me believe in the we can win in 7 theory but honestly I'm leaning the other way. Im worried this is going to fuck with our confidence in game 2 and then we are really fucked.

    You can say the same thing about EVERY team in the league if you take out their best two players.

    I get it. I want to give Terry the benefit of the doubt, but Meyers Leonard. Brutal. You don't put a slow twitch big man in at that key of a time. Makes zero sense. Majority of team played poorly tonight. Dame had a poor game. Once in awhile it would be nice for someone to have HIS back. Buffoonery tonight.

    Pretty much. Except for real contenders or teams with higher level stars who are unguardable.

    Dame is supposed be a star. Hes supposed to elevate himself above the defense. Other stars can do that.

    Right now, nothing because the recommended dosage is enough to get alcohol poisoning and you'll die before reaching twice that.

    I hear ya on that one brother. Autocorrect is like putting Meyers Leonard in the game, and designing a play for him after he hadn't even broken a sweat. Fail.
