As many mentioned this loss really hurt. I wrestle with the many thoughts attempting to justify our current position. Yes, we have battled through so many injuries and have continued to fight. We have also lost so many close games due to lack of experience, being short handed and at times not getting the calls from the refs. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm content with this team and where we stand. I still believe deep down that we will still qualify for the post season. I would love so much for them to make the playoffs and turn heads but if that never happened I am proud of the guys for getting this far. But next year is a whole different story. No more excuses, we must live up to our potential!
 
Last year when we lost close games it felt like moral victories. Now they are just huge disappointments. It also feels like when we had the 'moral victories' the team played so much better and didnt choke games away like we have recently. I know that this is just a stretch of tough games at the end of the year, but I feel like my biggest fears about this team might come to fruition. And that is our talent is just ok and inconsistent and we are gonna be stuck in the 6-8 seed range until we get that go to scorer

What was deceiving was when Mack when on that personal 7-0 run and then Hood it that three... everyone on the team got excited and got all hyped up! Maybe it was poor player substitutions? Bad calls by the refs? Many of these factors did us in, sadly.
 
It was frustrating because several players weren't playing with urgency. Even in close losses this season there was usually effort. Games like last night and against the Nets are so hard to deal with because the effort wasn't really there with a few exceptions.
 
Something I forgot to mention that kind of speaks for the season. When we were down 10 or 11 late in the 3rd quarter I honestly wasn't worried and was confident we'd win. But when we were up 7 with 3 minutes to go I first became worried.
 
Mack getting beat by Prigioni on multiple occasions is laughable.
