I check the score as I pull into my driveway and we were up 77-73 at the end of the 3rd quarter. Less than five minutes later I get the game pulled up on my laptop and we're down 81-79 less than two minutes into the fourth quarter.

Again...what the damn hell happened?

Cold shooting in the third quarter. Pistons lighting it up from three. Some of it is OKC giving them good looks and some of it is guys like Stanley Johnson just hitting shots they dont normally make.

We have nobody who can guard Drummond. Donovan is an idiot.

Ok I’m feeling like we’re going to lose for the first time tonight.

Got lucky with a Charge. We are still in iso chuck mode. This is a repeat of our other 9 losses.

Right now the problem is that Detroit is trying really really hard to win, playing solid D, hitting threes and rebounding well.

Why do we struggle so much to make shots in the 4th quarter?

We're just missing shots. Like, we're missing good, open looks. Melo just blew two or three attempts right around the basket.
