3rd quarter vs Orlando or 4th quarter vs Clev?

[connerhenry43]

Perhaps the most depressing, punch in the face quarters of basketball I have ever seen. And we have seen them from a so called "title contender" in the span of a month. Which was worse? I say Orlando, but I am not sure there is a wrong answer.

I say 4th quarter against Cleveland because our defense totally disappeared (Mo Williams was wide open on EVERY shot). At least we still attacked the basket in this 4th quarter but couldn't make anything, whereas we settled for jumpshots against Orlando.

Cleveland - Orlando was on us ... Cleveland there was not a heckuva lot we could do - they just drilled us, plain and simple

I'd go with Orlando.  It was the worst quarter of basketball I can remember seeing.  Against Cleveland, they stretched the lead late because we played like we knew we couldn't catch up; in Orlando, we just sucked.

Also, you can blame a lot of the Cleveland fourth on Doc, for playing a large percentage of the quarter with wacky lineups.  Against Orlando, it was the starters playing like dirt.

Orlando was much worse.  The 4th quarter against the Cavs was simply a case of a great team picking apart the C's weakness (which was partially caused by the lack of Pierce), and then having the killer instinct to put the game away.  In the Orlando game, the C's layed down like dogs.  Last night was painful, but the Orlando game just killed me as a fan.

I'd rather watch figure skating than have to re-watch either of those quarters. They were so sad.
