Last 2 minutes of the game were a complete disaster.

Pure choke. We played great for stretches but when that is intermingled with about 20 moronic plays you aren't beating a good team. And for crying out loud hit your layups!

Hard fought game but they got hit right at the end. We had a few poor defensive possessions too trying to double lilliard and he always found the right guy and they moved the ball great to find the open man. Our rotations were a bit too slow to recover and they got some easy baskets off it.

We very well could miss the playoffs at this point too.

From a half-expected loss, to an almost-make-up win, back down to a choke-job & another boneheaded loss... :nonono: :sigh:

Part of me thinks Blake/Thon can probably defend Giannis better than most any other PF's in the EC. I think we have the size/length at PF to keep Giannis looking human and he would probably average below 30 in a series against us.
