People complain about teams and coaches whining too much and working the refs, and there's a line where players can get too worried about refs, but there is also an art to working the refs both from a player and a coaching standpoint.

Batum came into this game averaging 10/6/3 over the last three games shooting 60/54. I'm not sure what you really mean here, and how are we defining games that actually matter? A mid-season game vs the Wizards matters more than games earlier in the season?

This makes more sense to say during the Utah or Brooklyn games doesn't it? But then he was good in the first game vs BKN. He's a role player who doesn't shoot a lot, so this isn't something unprecedented.

Need to get these guys healthy and they need a rest. They're dead tired right now with the schedule they've played so far

Leonard gets no respect from the refs. Every drive he’s getting whistled for the offensive foul.

I'm downgrading my expectations from a second-round exit to a first-round exit. I don't see how this team wins a playoff series against anyone when they go three, four, five minutes without a basket in clutch time every game now. This team is so mentally broken, it might need to be rebuilt from scratch.

It's not the schedule. These guys are just gutless choke artists and Lue has no idea what to do.

They blew a 3-1 lead in the playoffs, they blow double-digit leads like it's nothing, they constantly have 3-5 minute scoring droughts in clutch time, they have statistically the worst clutch time offense in the league. This is a mentally weak team, period. It's not going to change after the All-Star break.
