What Loss Was Worse?

the portland loss was the worst. lakers didn't even show up against one of the best teams in the league. its one thing to take it easy on bad teams and have it bite u in the ass like sac/phi/ind, its another to lay an egg against a team that thinks u can't beat them at home.

Yeah, but that's a road game in one of the toughest arenas to play in the NBA.

No-showing like we did was definitely disappointing, but winning games at places like that, Boston, Cleveland and Utah is always going to be a toss-up. Win, awesome. Lose, turn the page because you weren't supposed to win anyway.

Dropping games against teams you should beat 80% of the time is far more damaging, in my opinion. Especially at home.

the road game vs. atlanta. we couldve taken that road series 6-1, but that team practically gave us the game, and no one showed up to play. a back to back fo rsure, but atlanta was giving us that game with all the bricks they were shootin. and we didnt have the gas and would be in first right now for the overall record, i think, anyhow the atlanta game for me.

The Spurs and 76ers losses are the two that stand out. If forced to choose one it would be the Spurs because that was a statement game which we had in the bag. Fisher not only gambled for the steal leaving Mason wide open, but then tried to recover and committed the foul. All of this after a cold-blooded 3-pointer by Kobe which should have won us the game.

Of course the 76ers game was ours as well and all we had to do was use our foul to give -- which Ariza didn't -- and the end result was Wallace with a game-winning trey.

These types of mental mistakes are not going to cut it in the playoffs.

Edit: Ooops, that was Iguodala not Wallace. Der.

I'd have to say the Sixers loss at home. It was total bs, i was so pissed, my poor tv got some MAJOR verbal abuse after Iguodala's 3 at the buzzer. Just thinking about it gets me all pissed, it was an ugly loss. It was already deep in the season, we were trying to keep HCA and show that we clearly are the team to win it all then that loss comes!!!! No es bueno

Also the Detroit loss, the first loss of the season. I hate it cuz for the games prior to that i was thinking holy sh*t this team FINALLY realized they are one of the best teams on D when they want to be, i thought oh man oh man we're gonna destroy the nba this season and win the title in a dominant fashion but NOPE! Same ol' team, same ol' bad habits
