Wild game. I paused everything for an hour or 2 before watching it, and I read the game thread as I caught up on the game. I have some different conclusions, and some of the same conclusions.
Dallas played guys with fresh legs, our legs were tired. Kemba looked like prime Kemba tonight, maybe resting for most of the season did him some good.
We couldn't hit threes. We sucked at the foul line. But we ultimately won with defensive effort. Almost everyone's shot was off. Mitchell, Garland, Allen, were atrocious and missing stuff that is usually almost automatic for them. Everyone was below par offensively.
But we did move the ball pretty well. Lots and lots of passing, on some possessions too much passing as we ran out of shot clock. We needed better shot clock awareness at times, and needed to be more aggressive taking shots. But we kept moving the ball looking for a wide open shot and Dallas to their credit wasn't giving up many of those.
The inbounds play to JA was mind numbingly stupid, and I agree- why was JA in the game at that point? I want to hear what JBB says about that post game.
A win is a win, even this ugly, I'll take it.
