I've BEEN SAYING THIS.
Funny how a little road trip has a few of you echoing the sentiments of myself and Prokhorov for pointing out the obvious about how awful this team is away from home.
Lots of talk about beating the Heat/Pacers or giving them work in a second rd series. We may not even survive a first rd match up with the Bulls for god's sake.
It's clearly obvious now that the talk about winning a 1st rd match up on the road will be a foregone conclusion.
the bigs have played GOD AWFUL. We all need to hit our knees and PRAY that KG and AK47 come back
I don't get how a road trip in which we went to OT ALL 3 GAMES confirm to you guys that we would be screwed without hca, specially given the fact that we were without KG in all 3 of those games.
But whatever, perhaps i have too much fate in this team.
I'll never understand the roller coaster of emotions this board goes through. Some of these guys must be really emotional.
Two OT losses on the road. One coming off a back to back. Both of them without our two best defenders. This is after beating an extremely tough WC team on the road.
Were these losses a let down? Yes, definitely. Are they the end of the world? Absolutely not. If we were embarassingly blown out both games, I would be concerned. We lost two grind it out games. Missing two key players. Two VERY winnable games. It happens. You guys are such nervous nellies that you think every game is a must win and anything less than the 3rd seed is a giant failure and we're going to get swept in the first round.
Guess what? A late March game on the road vs. the Bobcats shouldn't decide how you ultimately view our team. If three days ago you were confident in this team and now you think we're going to get swept in the first, you need to re-evaluate some things. Nothing has changed. We're either good enough to make noise in the playoffs or we're not. If you think we're not, then stop flip flopping please.
