Not really liking our offensive sets these last few possessions.  I understand what looks like the mindset behind it, taking time off the clock, but it's all for naught if we're putting up terrible shots and not making them.  We're not really scoring, they're getting out in transition in a hurry and attacking the basket.  I don't think that's what we want to be doing.

I agree. And Suggs needs to stop rolling the ball on the floor before picking it up at the half court line. There needs to be more ball movement, pick up the pace, play with more speed.

I think we have a deep team. If we can  coach the right players to attack at the right time we are good! sounds simple, i know. 

We did not have the athletes to defend the way we do now the last, oh i don't 15 years. But we do now! if the team can just shoot a little better it's like 2010.

Hit the showers, Suggs, thanks for what you did to get us here!

Great game from start to finish. I love how they carried the same intensity and focus from the Charlotte game into this one. We keep playing like this we may win this series.
