    boy we are just like a dysfunctional family, fighting cussing at each other but in the end we're all still together.

    THAT'S momentum. Carry it into game 4 with heavy minutes from Daniels!

    he ht 5-11....how many shots did you want him to hit? If he doesn't score the 4 OT points, this series is over. Be more concerned about the out of nowhere Harden isos that caused the double digit lead in the 4th to disappear.

    And whatever lack of defensive adjustments/switches that led to Harden guarding Lillard for what seemed like every big Lillard bucket.

    McHale is brilliant. He knew no one would expect the ol' fumblerooskie.

    In those super close or overtime games, like tonight and game 1, there are a ton of "what ifs"-- one mistake, one missed free throw, one bad referee call, one lucky make. Every play in the entire game is arguably a "key play" that could have swung such a game.

    I was fortunate to watch Troy Daniels play down here in the RGV for the Vipers. He took a high volume of 3s that prepare him for he did tonight.

    Actually if Parsons didn't foul out, we'd be crying now...

    Why didn't Stotts put Lopez back in? Small-ball allowed us to put Daniels in as the small forward even though he's only 6'4 and allowed us to win the game.

    Lin got heart. He attacks the basket and his head almost gets detached from his body by Aldridge in what should have been a flagrant.

    Jokers and r****ds here laughed about it instead of supporting their man but he got up and calmly sank two big free throws.

    It was a questionable decision to take a shot, even a wide open layup, that early in the clock when you have a three point lead. I can live with him making the ballsy decision, but missing a wide open layup is no bueno.

    The thing I don't like about that play is our spacing is fking terrible. Bev should be on the other side of the court!!

    That's Lin's natural game.

    He sharpshooter kingmaker. It's Daniel's turn to blow up like Novak.
