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.


They were talking about dagger 3s and how Donovan wants them to stop taking them the other night. So apparently he sees the problem....

Give up an offensive rebound to start the half, Dallas scores, Durant takes a bad three, give up another offensive rebound and Dallas scores again.

Three point game. We're getting killed on the offensive glass. If we f*** around and lose two home games to this Dallas team, then there's no way in hell we're going to beat the Spurs next round...if we even get that far.

How does Roberson even et that happen?

This team falls asleep way too **** much.

First Adams can't even grab a rebound, then Serge gets spun

Then Anderson gets a oreb and cuts back for a dunk on roberson....

So I guess Serge tried some of McGary's weed tonight.

Our defense sucks. It just does. This depleted, one-offensive-option Dallas team is easily on 100 point pace for the second game in a row.

Ok, that was one of the worst "shooter pump fakes, jumps into the defender" shooting fouls I've ever seen. Roberson didn't even make contact with Matthews and he's the one that jumped into Roberson!

Barea takes an 18-footer that hits every part of the rim ad falls in.

So Cam Payne played to well and now we need another dose of Foye.

Dwight Powell makes two FTS (Dallas has made like 45 FTs in a row) and it's a 5 point game. Here we go with our 4th quarter woes again.
