Um, you might want to foul the crappy free throw shooter. I mean, you are not winning the game.....

This pisses me off.. Disappointing as hell.

So the best play we could draw up is a LeBron fade away in the corner.

[TheOUTLAW]

It didn't have to be a fade away, that's just how LeBron shoots them

[Gordon Bombay]

wtf was that?? switching, turning the ball over, not fouling the worst free throw shooter when you had the chance....all-around ugly night

credit to the cats for making us play their style

That was a completely BS foul on mo

Might have been a make up call. Shaq pushed one cat in the back (Felton?) causing him to miss a layup, then LeBron shoved Wallace down to knock the rebound out of his hand. No call on either.

Basically, we need more than LeBron and Mo to show up on the offensive end, and unfortunately on a back to back we typically have a lot of our role players disapear. Between the ankle twist, knee blow, the back to back, and the way the refs were calling the game it's not surprising LeBron settled.

Who else on the team is going to step it up?

Charlotte has a well balanced, defensive oriented team (#2 in the league) that guys like Mo and Delonte aren't going to exploit off the dribble so easily. We did have an advantage with Shaq and Z, but they're likely most effected by the back to back and the travel.

IMO, we probably should have played Gibson. He always gets up to play other former Texas players (like DJ Augustin), and he didn't play much against NJ so should have been relatively fresh.
