    Embarrassing. Kashi doesn't even get off the bench after 3rd Q

    And get this:

    Game 1: we had a 29 pt lead to start the 4th shooting 16-39 41% threes. Even if we had missed 9 of those shooting 7-39 18%, we still have the lead, and maybe Kushi plays.​

    Game 4: we have 15pt lead to start the 4th shooting 15-32 47%, but had we missed 5 of those to shoot just 31% game it is still tied, and for the whole game we only had 10 free throws.

    Where are all these other points coming from? Pick your Poison.

    We don't just win when SAS fails to stop the drives/oops and close out on the three pointers, we BLOW THEM OUT, such that poor whittle wee wee Kawiwi doesn't even play in the 4th.

    Poor Pops, must sit on the bench with his fingers crossed under his butt the whole game....just hoping.

    You mean we're at our most successful when the other team doesn't play defense, well or otherwise?

    What an interesting concept.

    Is that you Pops? Don't you have the #1 defense in the league, and even 18% and 31% shooting at end of the 3rd, Rockets still have the lead or tied in our wins. Pick your poison, and cross your fingers, because you might get your ass BLOWN OUT!

    Pops strategy, "if we can keep them around 30% shooting from 3, we should be able to keep it tied ,,,, sometimes"

    I like the fact that Pop pulled his best players that early, he's probably worried about how much they have left in the tank after the series against Memphis.

    PS. Lol Kawliflower

    I think Pops has his fingers crossed that Tony Brothers will be officiating game 5.

    I actually like Pop waving the white flag, no need to play your guys anymore when the game is already decided. Now, if MDA could learn some of that, no reason Capela should be in there late into the 4th quarter.
