They (the refs) were trying to get the score above the over/under. . . but just came up short. The free throw numbers back this. The difference tonight? : George Karl ( a real coach)
there were 24 free throws in the last 5 minutes(well 5:03) of the game. 12 for each side. and they could have probably let half of them go.
Absolutely. And Pritchard will be fired. You don't let a Hall of Famer like Outlaw leave and keep your job. As far as I'm concerned, Pritchard is already in hot water. He built a team that forced Outlaw to shoot 1-8 and cost the team the game. With a better team, Outlaw shoots 4-10 and the team wins the game.
To be fair, we shoot FTs at a higher percentage than Denver. But Denver hit them when they mattered and they also grabbed the rebounds down the stretch.
I dont think it was Oden or Miller missing the late free throws that cost us the game so much as it was us shooting 34% from the field. Not gonna win many games shooting that low of a percentage. And you got to give Denver credit: Carmelo was 100% on a MISSION tonight, no doubt about it. One positive for the game was the play of Webster. He gave Carmelo fits tonight and also had a solid offensive performance. Now I've never been one to second guess Nate much....but it did surprise me very much how little Martell played in the 4th quarter. I'll leave it at that.
That shot by Roy was almost identical to the one from last year. Let's hope its not a sign of what to come.
Good news for you then, you don't have to waste any more of your time watching us play, since our season is already over.
