I think UTA did not want #3.
They're a great road team and they must have thought being an underdog is better for this young team. Finish #3 and you're favorites. If you lose you kind of failed. That'd put a lot of pressure on their your squad.

Coach Q's rotations were rather weird and I don't remember him giving up and benching the starters so early. Also in his postgame interview after the GSW game he said something along the lines "fans want HCA but it's the same to us, you get back to home anyway"

I think tonight's loss was disappointing, but in the long-term it will be a good wake-up call for this team. And I think you're right -- we're 14-2 in our last 16 road games. We can go in there and get a game or two.

Last year we were 3-3 on the road in the playoffs, and 1-4 at home.
 
Oddly, Rubio played only 23 minutes. Shot 5/12 for 17 points. Wonder if he's still taking it easy on the hammy. He played great. Needed more minutes?
 
First game is Sunday on TNT. I don’t want any more nationally televised games.
 
****, we lost home court?

My concern is that we've basically laid eggs in several important games this spring. The first Portland game they beat us bad coming out of the All-star break, when we were hot going in. Then we lost to San Antonio. Then we lost to a depleted Boston. Now we lay an egg against Portland again. Yeah we had some good wins but all of these games were a chance to gauge ourselves and we just didn't compete.

How are we in close games? Because it seems like we're not that good in games against good opponents who we should at least be playing tight.
 
I think this series will be physical slugfest.
