We executed enough to be ahead by 2 with less than 3 seconds left.

That game wasn't won - it was stolen.
Watch it again. We failed down the stretch.

Bite my ass.

You're telling me that bounce was planned and all skill, right?
The Suns lost it by shooting 3 for 9 in overtime with two turnovers.

The 3/9 didn't bother me. It was the lack of rebounding. We were up by 4 with 43 seconds left.

You really think we executed down the stretch? What game did you watch? Look at the play by play if you need to.

Well, when you only have one reliable big man available in overtime (Markieff) in there against Griffin and Jordan that's what you get.

Agreed. As much as I like the attitude of Len tonight, those 3 frustration fouls really cost us.

I think, by definition, you were. But I'm glad it's over now. And you have seen the light. :P

And the worst thing you can tell this team is "try to use some clock" because they just don't know how to execute consistently when the clock is running down. Part of that is because Bledsoe (who did a lot of great things tonight) isn't really a facilitator.

Agreed again. He can do some amazing things to get into the lane, and then does a good job finding wide open people. But facilitator is not the word to describe him.

But Jeff took the blame on that shot clock violation after he screamed to green to hold the ball.

What does that even mean? If people are going to call me an ass I might as well be one? That's the opposite of true if one is not an ass.

I will just assume you are worked up about the game and stop calling you on it.

That was one of those great games to watch until it's over.
