I was away from home, checked the score, and it looked like we had lost.

now we are back in. what happened?
weve gotten open looks all day long. They starting going down. When Wall sits down they suck. Thats when we made most of the comeback.

Its the NBA, that's what happened.  Early leads are meaningless.

We tried the Gerald Green starting lineup.  It didn't work.

Kelly went nuts for a few minutes

And now the refs are working against us.

Well, with the Morris injury causing them to go smaller, Smart's defensive mastery, and the fact that Rozier has played much better off the bench, you have to go with Smart instead of Green in the starting lineup from now on, right?

Why is IT guarding Wall? He's going to blow by 10 times out of 10.

No they are not. The opposition has to expend a lot of energy to come back, and this may show up later fatigue wise. Another point is, the lead counts otherwise the opposition's run to tie would have resulted in a lead of equal amount and not just a tie. So an early lead is not meaningless at all.
