... OK, they shot their load through 3 quarters and seemingly had nothing left for the 4th. The sky isn't falling- Woodson will get the team to balance the intensity of their attack throughout the game. It's all part of developing a killer instinct.
Melo scored 39??? Damn. It looks like the team ran out of gas, or became too complacent, or both.
We cannot afford any more letdowns or wasted efforts like this. Shucks... We couldn't really afford THIS one. We're coming down the stretch and need EVERY win possible.

What the Hell does this so-called iso ball have to do with giving up 40 pts on defense? What does that have to do with giving up numerous second chance pts? what does that have to do with sending the other team to the line 20+ times in the 4th Q? Cut the nonsense.....

When Tyson has to help so much it takes him away from the basket and the other team gets rebounds. That is a very important factor. Not having Jared or even STAT does make us vulnerable on the glass in certain situations.
How can you not be rageously furious (yes, rageously!) after that 4th quarter and can simply say Indy got their energy up and that happens is beyond me! Yes, we simply lost because we didn't have Jared. While I agree Jared would've helped, the truth is this team had a big double digit lead they HAD TO TAKE CARE OF. HORRIBLE PG PLAY, INDECENT DEFENSE AND YOU GET BLOWN OUT IN THE FREAKING FOURTH QUARTER??? WE LOST THE FOURTH BY 23 PTS!!!! 23!!!!!!!!!
This team needs to go on a winning streak only to recover from this STINKING loss. With Orlando, Bulls twice and the blood-smelling Bucks next, we could be out of the playoffs as fast as we lost this game. If you can't see how horrible this loss is you are delusional.
+1,000,000
This was a horrendous loss, plain and simple. There is no defending it, no matter who we were missing.
As long as it's understood that Melo loses every game for us.
Except the ones we win.
That has to be somebody else's doing. 
Landry Fields free throw shooting: 50% of the time, it's good ALL of the time!

At least he's consistent at the FT line lol.
