Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Why the fuck is Allen in the game in a 3 point game? Takes away not only a potential look from Love, Cedi, or Wade, but also kills spacing. Especially when Mobley is the one setting the on ball screen. Allen being in there does nothing but add a offensive rebound threat.

...which is what he did
 
Celtics are destroying the Nets. I don't see how we stay out of the play-in at this point. Oh well.

Why no challenge on that “foul”? Was he concerned about saving the final TO? Surely would have been overturned.

If we challenge that call, we win the game.

40 seconds, one point lead and the ball.

At worst, you miss, and get to defend to win on a final shot. With our defense, I like those odds.

But no, that Okoro foul was an official changing the outcome.

JBB not challenging is unacceptable and needs discussed. I hope our media team asks him about refusing to use it this season.

I turned the game on late, but did JB burn his challenge earlier?

There was an out of bounds play where the Pistons got the ball that easily would have been reversed, and they hit a 3. Then the Okoro play where Cunningham simply falls down.

If he ends the game with his challenge here, it's a massive mistake.

There was a play where Grant threw it straight out of bounds and refs said it was blocked yet replay showed it wasn’t and JB didn’t use the challenge. Then when Cade clearly slipped and fell he had plenty of time to use the challenge there. We were up 1 and those free throws gave them the lead and killed our momentum. Why the fuck didn’t he use the challenge? Need to save a stupid timeout?!! I’m pissed losing to these type of teams lately and we think we’re gonna all Of a sudden turn it around?

Well, if we lose the rest of them, we could miss that too.

Fuck the refs seriously
 
McGruder/Diallo/Stewart combined to the tune of 8-8 from three.

Couple of missed opportunities, some really slow stretches offensively (4 points in the fourth through the first five and half minutes of the quarter), timely Detroit makes/stops, missed freebies, sunk the Cavs in this one.

Wanna add, it was nice to see the team rally! Almost got there.

Yeah - that's the play I was talking about. I was surprised it wasn't challenged, and then when the foul wasn't either, I just assumed it had been used earlier in the game. That's horrible in-game decision making. There needed to be an assistant screaming in his ear about it, and JBB needed to pull the trigger even if there wasn't.
 
Only thing I'll say is I haven't liked the way Allen has played in over a month.

His play is slipping just like last year. Same exact thing going on.
 
Individual stats:

Starters:
Markkanen 22-6-1 with a block in 28 minutes Welcome back Lauri!
Mobley 12-8-2 with 3 blocks in 35 minutes Shot poorly in the 1st half, but played his way out. 6-8 from FT.
Allen 11-9-0 with a steal and 3 blocks in 32 minutes. I Scream because he only got 9 shots.
Okoro 11-5-0 with a steal in 28 minutes
Rondo 12-2-9 in 26 minutes He did as well as I expected.

Bench: 35-10-5 in 23 minutes
Wade 7-3-0 in 23 minutes
Love 4-5-1 in 16 minutes Off night for Kevin. We could have used 2 more 3s.
Goodwin 15-1-2 in 20 minutes A perfect job off the bench
Osman 9-1-2 in 20 minutes Off night.

I blame our freethrow shooting 23-34 3 more free throws and we go to overtime. 4 more and we win. Practice them men.
