We're such a stupid basketball team.

Well, Dallas made their run so now we need to answer.
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

I'm completely befuddled. I don't know what possibly could've happened in the last four games to finally make it apparent Camshould play. Durant being garbage is the only thing I can think.
Coaches who are up 3-1 don't do stuff like this. Billy is a different breed.

Had a chance to put this injury riddled, below average team away by halftime. Instead, we're up by 4 with 3 minutes to go in the half.

Meh, Dallas is playing for their season. Didn't expect it to be easy from the tip did we?

We were up 44-31 over a bad Dallas team at one point this quarter. It's a 2 point game with 2:30 until halftime.

Russ goes to the line,but what a dumb shot.
Serge is trailing for an open 3 and Durant is wide open on the left corner for 3.

Silly foul at the end of the half makes our halftime lead 7 instead of 9. Yuck.

I think that corridor between 10 points and blowing out the opponent is so dangerous for us because we stop playing good offense and lose focus defensively. We need to be able to keep those semi-high leads and stop going for the kill by losing focus.

Yep. A team like the Spurs just keeps doing what they did to get a 10 point lead and it invariably turns to 20. We will start forcing shots in an attempt to double the lead as quickly as possible, which usually means it goes the other way.
