    Well we showed some effort at the end their. If we take that over to the 4th we have a shot. Pelicans hit some HARD shots in the 3rd that there is nothing you can do about but they wont hit those all series long.

    I'm emotional and pissed off at this game and even then, I can still see things that should be obvious to Stotts.

    We don't have enough SCREENS with a player going TOWARDS the RIM.

    We don't have enough CUTS TO THE RIM.

    Screen towards rim.
    Cut to the rim.

    Simple.

    Napier is playing really good and smart.

    But even when we start scoring, defense get worse.

    What happened to our D that quarter? 12 is doable, but it will take a complete turnaround from how we have been playing.

    And vice versa. His pick and roll defense is asinine...

    Nope. Olshey will call this season a HUGE SUCCESS as we extending our playoff birth streak and we won the division.

    What's sad is that I feel like Olshey views that as good enough.

    If we don't win two of the first three, I am not going to New Orleans for Game 4.

    The 4th quarter isn't just for this game. Gotta show some spirit and that we aren't going to just give up and crumble when things don't go our way. They can take game 1, but as long as the game gets pulled back into contention and we show ourselves we got this then we can take one on their court no problem.

    such an anemic, unimaginative offense

    Dame is staying in for the entirety of the 4th quarter. That’s how you know we are in trouble and need this win

    I agree, we need a strong 4th to take momentum into game two.
