    Team makes too many mental mistakes.

    No way Sengun's 5 missed free throws come back to bite us right?

    Smart is a certified flopper and refs manipulator.

    Can't blame him, it works.

    This is how it was when Harden would go out and couldn't play, the other players would do really well without him. It has to be demoralizing for the other four players just watching one player try to do it all.

    We're making that happen by playing better on defense though

    Smart just runs or tangles himself into players, then flops like crazy, then gets calls. Ridiculous.

    Amazing job on the defensive side. Clean up the boneheaded plays and we'll be fine.

    Keep running them off the 3 point line!

    The absolute WORST thing about this lead, is that we were 30 seconds away from coming in only down 1 in the series instead of 3-0.
