I'm a few possessions late on that joke. I will say that fatigue has gotten to me too.

You, sir, are a true pro

It just sucks when 2 games in a row we play well enough to win but don't because of...what, I don't know. Retardation, only Against the Magic shots, untimely calls by the officials. Take your pick.

Largely meaningless games, but this newly discovered "We all we got" morale isn't likely to last very long if we continue to suffer such heartbreaking defeats.

So true. Have to consider replacement value. We don't need an offensive center and could just pick up a guy good at blocking shots and clogging up the paint.

LOL no... not at all. horrible assessment

Oh really? Why do you think Q is in? To guard Milsap. And Stan decided to go with J-Rich instead of JJ. If you can't understand that...

So explain to me how this is a horrible assessment smart ass.

not good probably since this team is horribly put together. It's probably better than without him though.

Moral victories dont mean ****, I want real wins. This game we should have won.

This would have been my favorite game of the season if we won. Probably still in my top five. I love the energy/effort.

Its horribly put together because it assumes Dwight is a good first option. Shaq and Hakeem would murder with a bunch of shooters around them.

It's hard to win without Dwight. Who knew?

Post #572 » by **FFBlitzace** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 5:20 am

It felt like Jefferson killed us, but it took him 22 shots to get his 21 points. Not all that good.

Favors quietly killed us.

Im looking at the box score it doesnt look like anyone really deserves a Dunce Cap.

Unless there is someone who really stood out or if I could put at least 3 options on the poll, I probably wont make one anymore

Do you want to continue trying to win by jacking up 38 3's a night. I'm over it. We hit 15 3's in a game on 40% and still lost.

MORAL VICTORY :hug:

We are like the worst cluth team in the league with a lead or tied. How many times this season have we come up short or blown in late game situations. i say 75%.

I'm not big on still shooting so many threes without Dwight. But our offense has been better without him, mostly because Jameer is getting to the basket more and is asserting his offense. But he asserted it a little too much tonight. Lame loss, but this is a team going nowhere, we're just waiting for the season to end at this point.

Three options:

Stan
Otis
Dwight

They used to be a good team in the clutch, the problems started in the 1st round against Atlanta last year and it carried on the entire season this year.

It seems to have started around the time that Ice-O got injured
