    They were much better on the slips in the second half, which is what allowed us to come back to the degree we did.


    Getting this right is important because GS will use many slips to get open baskets as well.


    It has happened many times against the Pels

    You don't think the Jazz playing their second game in three nights had anything to do with the jazz getting slaughtered? They looked a lot better in that second game defensively.

    Cp being aggressive means Mitchell will have to extract on both ends which bodes well for our chances

    I agree. LeBron's performance was electrifying, but he was actually playing away from his strengths. If he were missing those same shots and his team lost, everyone would be calling him out for NOT imposing his will by getting to the rim or posting up mismatches.

    It might help if our role players show up too! Harden, cp3, and capela did ok in game 2. ariza, tucker, luc, gordon just sat and watched mostly. Anderson was a zero. Energy was weak in the first quarter from everyone.

    Forgot to add Mr. Capela, our newest star player. Dude dominated the paint like a boss. Last crucial 4 minutes was just great with 5 (FIVE) huge blocks!
