The saddest part is that 2 of their wins came against us.
They'd be half a game ahead of the Lakers right now with a nice buffer between the bottom 3 and the others if we'd handled business.
Just unbelievable.
People have to get over it. Can't win them all. I'm sure the players wanted those wins more than you do.
I agree we can't win 'em all and that we should get over it.
I disagree that the players wanted those wins more than we all do. It really sucked and was bad luck for us that we played the Nets twice in two sets of home and home. It's real hard to beat a team two games in a row in the regular season.
We kicked their butts (embarrassed them) here in November. They wanted it far more 2 days later. The ramifications of their/our pick had no bearing on how our team played with NO sense of urgency. I'll guarantee you that our pick never crossed our players' minds.
When we played them again in January, we had just lost to the Fakers and were in the middle of a 1W-6L stint. Again, that first game on the 2nd, we played with no sense of urgency. Players aren't thinking about how important that pick is to the Cs organization. You and I are...all the time.
