Didn't think the officials were gonna swallow their whistles and ref this like it was Game 7 of the NBA Finals, but they certainly let the Cavs get away with murder in the post. Whatever, team clearly ran out of gas and had probably their worst 2nd half of the year. It happens.
This loss and the reaction to it just go to show that when we as fans have high expectations, there is absolutely no way to lose that the fans (especially ones as terminally online as we are) will say "yknow what, I'm okay with how that went." Every loss is the result of some glaring, unsolvable roster issue.
In this case we dealt with an issue that basically hasn't been an issue all season (guys going cold from the field and the offense looking bad) while showing some life on defense (as low as we've set those standards) and there are people basically pushing for a fire sale. Hell if anything I'd rather see Dame have a bad game because he chucked a little too much as opposed to looking passive and disinterested like earlier in the season.
