Here are key takeaways from last night’s game:

  • It was the 3rd game in 4 nights. Some of the squad definitely had dead legs.

  • We missed a ton of easy looks early on. LBJ missed something like 3 layups in a row in the first quarter.

  • DAL made a concerted effort to scheme out AD with double- and triple-teams. And when he’d kickout we didn’t effectively convert.

  • We’re nowhere near 100% in terms of health. In fact, we’re missing 3 of our best onball defenders - Vando, Cam, and Vincent (if you don’t believe in a healthy Vincent, we can bet on a charity).

  • This squad is really good if not great. We literally came back from 20 and had the lead with 20 seconds to go. A tough loss but one indicative of how good we are even at something like 75%.

  • Also, we’re treating Prince exactly the way we treated KCP when he was in a shooting slump. It’s dumb. Prince is good. I’d argue really good, especially on D.

  • All the casuals and mouthbreathers who flood the sub after every loss need to CTFD.

    Those 4 straight missed free throws really hurt them. Couldve had 6 pt lead or somthing with 1 min left
