Just stop fouling. It's over already.

I thought the game was over so I changed the channel, only to come back and see there's still 9 seconds left.  ;D

Really need a better bench.

We need a second unit point. There is not a good ball handler/ distributer on that second unit.

It would have been nice, but KG did his job on the two possessions before that.  He got a good look, and the ball just spun out.

Blame the game on the bench all you want but all Ray had to do was inbound the [dang] ball and we had a chance for a tie or lead.

Games aren't decided by 1 play.

Ray is having a horrible 4th quarter.

Garnett should start shooting 3's. The mid-range shots he takes are just 2 feet in the 3 point line, anyway.

The plays that Rivers draws up are a joke. It's the reason we suck at the end of close games. Handing the ball off to one of the big 3 every time is not a play. Lack of coaching at the end of these last few games.

The team played better in the second half, but the fourth quarter execution was mediocre when it needed to be flawless.

Btw, Roger Mason Jr. is a steal for the Spurs. That dude has got ice in his veins.

This was a fairly reffed game. We still found a way to blow the lead, though.

Popovich and Phil Jackson both did a good job of dictating our crowd whenever we got momentum, and then we could never  break away in either game, and did a terrible job of executing down the stretch. The main thing is our bench, its just not good enough, we have no ballhandling except rondo, and true backup bigs...not good enough

boston was outscored 13-7 in the first 4 minutes of the 4th. the bench not only couldnt keep the lead but they couldnt even keep it close. this team as it stands right now is just not going to win a title
