Hey looks like I am writing another "oh we lost on a pathetic performance". If we wanted playoff's we can throw away 16pt first quater leads. Not only that, we fouled way to much, didnt defend overly well, we missed to many freethrows and shot terribly after the first. To me thats season over. Might aswell try and work on forumulas for the next season, see who is worth keeping, such as Garrity etc. No point kidding ourselves about playoff's now. This was our easiest game for like the next 6 games or something. I wouldnt have minded so much, but it was terrible how we lost it.
Question - how was playing the bulls an easy game? We were undermanned (missing Deng, Curry and Harrington) We are 4th seed nonetheless.
Read what I said. This is the easiest game we have out of our next 6, considering we are playing teams like Detriot twice and Bulls away. They are gonna be harder than bulls at home with a 16pt first quarter lead. And dont go on about under maned. We are still missing Grant Hill, Hedo, Doug Christie. And have had injuries in this whole last stretch. And to re-interate, I mean easy as in all the next games are harder (off the top of my head). Still in my mind a fit Orlando shouldnt have that much trouble with the bulls (to be fair it was a even game, and could have gone either way, had we 1 more fit player it would prob have been different), we are still missing over 40pts of our offence, our captain, one of the best defenders in the league, our main 6th man (one of the best in the league aswell) aswell as stints of injuries and suspensions in the past months. This is not excuse finding, its just pure annoyance at the fact that I know that we are a hell of alot better than this, we are just missing so much to do it.
