Adams must have had a big night last night or something. I guess he's allowed to have the rare bad game.

Our defense rebounding has got to improve.

And this is the problem with falling behind by 20+ in the 1st half. You shoot your wad just to cut the lead to 5ish points, and then the pendulum swings back in the opponents' favor for a bit, and you're down by 10-15 again.

I mean it's not 10 points, but just like that we're back down by nine. It all started after we cut the lead to three and Russ forced a terrible pull-up three-pointer in transition that he missed badly.

Cut it to 3 and we revert back to horrible tendencies

Pull up 3 by Westbrook and ISO by Melo from the 3pt line

Man we suck on the boards.

And that iffy illegal pick call on us may be the ultimate final nail in the coffin at the end of the game. Felton hits a three that would've cut the lead to one, the refs call an iffy illegal pick on Robes to keep the lead at four, and the Bucks score the final four points of the quarter to push their lead back to eight.

The only true big man we play is Steven Adams because Presti didn't feel the need to add a legit backup center in the off-season and because Patrick Patterson apparently has some very condemning photos of Billy Donovan since Donovan won't play him more than 10 minutes per game.

Why did we play Abrines over Patterson again? He should literally never see the light of day on the basketball court.

That sequence will be the final deciding factor. Meaning, if the refs hadn't called the iffy illegal pick on Robes, and the Felton three counted, we would've been down by one and I think we would've gotten over the hump and gone on to win the game. Instead, that gave the Bucks just enough momentum to end the quarter to push their lead back out to six.

That bleeping illegal screen sequence...

That, and this lineup Donovan decided to start the 4th quarter with.

Back down by 12 just like that after it appeared we had cut the deficit to one point.

Funcrusher · Post #78 » by **Funcrusher** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 2:54 am

Not even sure if I believe in Patterson's game anymore.

NaturalThunder · Post #79 » by **NaturalThunder** » Sat Dec 30, 2017 2:55 am

That escalated quickly. It's over, now. Now we're right back where we started the third quarter but this time there's only 8 minutes left in the game.

We might lose by twenty. This game is so ugly.
