The funny thing is Clifford said in his post game interview that we don't have the offensive talent to not play defense or rebound and still win, yet he sits MKG.


Wow, someone hand Clifford the dunce hat for this. What the hell?

last night was the worst case scenario for our playoff spot and draft picks. we lost, wizards and nets won, pistons lost and blazers won.

There was a lot of bad officiating last night including this missed call on the illegal moving screen that resulted in a game-tying 3-pointer near the end of regulation that led to overtime. The missed call(s) that bothered me the most was all of the over-the-back fouls that Nikola Vucevic got away with on Al Jefferson as the referees swallowed their whistles

Im not one too blame the officials much but last night the officials pretty much let the Magic did whatever to get back in the game. There were so many questionable calls.

Fred Williamson wrote:you guys need to chill out with the Hendo hatefest. Sure it was a dumb move, but take a good look at the replay. It was a moving screen by Vucevic as well, which made it more difficult for Hendo to run around him.

secondly, here's the actual reason we lost: 24/23, 36 vs. 57.

Last night's loss was not Hendo's fault. There was a lot of blame to go around but I'd point my finger at Clifford mostly. I just knew he was going to ride that bench until that 16 point lead was zero and that's exactly what he did. That's the biggest reason why we loss. Because Clifford doesn't trust MKG down the stretch of games after helping us build leads in the 1st quarter and because Clifford got too much faith in Ridnour returning to a his early Bucks days as a very decent backup PG.
