I take out the dame stupidity because we still had the lead on the next play. That play could have (in high likelhood) resulted in points.

Dame just went too deep in the key and fucked himself. lol.

The over-reactions are juicy though.

The only play that mattered is CJ not passing it (before the 'hold') to a wide open Dame. Guy straight up left Dame to come help. CJ needs to read that.

Every play matters. But the refs gave them the game with a number of bad calls.
 
Fulltime
Us - 110
Them - 113

FG%
Us - 42.5%
Them - 52.5%

3PM/A
Us - 11/27
Them - 7/18

Points Off Turnovers
Us - 22
Them - 12

Points in the Paint
Us - 26
Them - 54

They only took 4 three point shots in the second half. They hurt us a lot more than we hurt them on turnovers.

This. We choked this away, and we missed about 7 total FTs.

Can't win a game when you don't score in the final minute and you can't win a game this close when you miss FTs.

The refs didn't cost us this game. We did it to ourselves.

Stotts end-game plays are pathetic. It's the same old shit all the time: give it to Dame and hope he pulls something off. We need something else.

We are up one and CJ got fouled. We should then have then been up 3. How was officiating not a factor? Either they made a great play or we got fucked, but how did we do it to our selves? Sure it happens all the time, and we have to accept it. But that does not change the fact that the game swung on whether or not Giannis reach around and pushed CJ with his left hand. no doubt in my mind he did.

So let me get this straight, our center had 17 pts, 11 rebs, 3 assists and 3 blocks..... and he is trash? Wow if that's a bad game I will take 79 more of them please.

As for the block at the end there are 2, maybe 3 players in the league that can block that without a foul. He is called the Freak for a reason.

Exactly... in real time I was astonished... then on the replay... holy smokes. I just said "Yep, no foul. That son of a bitch." And tipped my proverbial cap. Dude is insane.

Being owned by that sad sack franchise is maddening. We should be undefeated in the road heading into the best part of our schedule all year. Maddening!

What? The bucks are fucking good. I don't care about their history, RIGHT NOW, when we played them tonight, that's a damn good team. They deserve to be praised, even in defeat.
 
Refs didn't cost us a game what cost us 56-26 advantage bucks in the paint. Nurk had 17/11 another double double and strong 2nd half. Dame also strong 2nd half. Lots postives in this game. Due I think we got tired properly. We out rebound our 3 team. Now we went on the road and 2-1 I will take that right now now go home for long home stance. Dame had 4 steals and Nurk had 3 blocks.

CJ needs to read Dame's defender coming over and pass it... he had enough time to make that decision before he got fouled.
 
All in all that was an OK performance. Puting the refs aside for a moment, their stud out studded ours when it really mattered and the game was entirely within reach with some better execution.

Win big and lose close? Over the course of a whole season that probably means things are going OK.
 
Seriously, when was the last time you saw a player as dominant as the Freak when he gets going? Even LeBron has to sweat at his numbers.

Why is that a factor? We must have then outscored them by a bunch from the outside. Why is one stat better than the other?
 
Our defense is improved but our lilliputian backcourt couldn't be hidden from their perimeter length.
 
ET played the best defense on him. In the end he just showed his strength. Mo and Aminu basically no showed in that regard.
 
It took a lot of abnormal things (Dame turnover, CJ misread, no foul, literally a "freak" play) for us to lose on the road in a back to back against a good playoff team. I wanted the win too but let's keep things in perspective a little guys. We have a lot to be happy about so far.

Or he holds on to the ball, gets fouled and goes to the line. Why hurry a pass?

They certainly got some home cooking but they could've overcome that. They got roughed up a bit and they panicked into too many mistakes.

Every team makes mistakes every game. I just think it's crazy when certain players are allowed to clearly violate the rules. There was literally nothing we could do to prevent Giannis from getting to the FT line, because he charged STRAIGHT into Turner who had clearly established his position and they call a foul on Turner. National Bullshit Association.

Yep, star calls are something you have to deal with and cut your losses. They only have one star.
