Milsap is a really nice player.

how many shots does a guy need to miss before you realize that he is killing the team?
He didn't pull Harden..Harden was getting his usual rest when the subs made a comeback..He stuck with the guys who got the team back in the game and had the momentum...How you manage to file that under a win for metrics is beyond me..

I think the post was edited but it is in your quote.
Hawks are looking good. I thought Washington would win this. Still early but the Wiz need to get going.
Hoping for another game 7. Wiz looking good.
How are these guys on Wiz missing lay ups in crunch time..I don't get it..
I think the Wiz might have been a tougher matchup for the Cavs.
Paul Freakin Pierce. Glad it wasn't against the Knicks.
So close but no cigar. Paul pierce though is a scary dude
Waved off? I don't know about that.

I'm assuming that you watched the game last night since you made that Harden comment. Although they did collapse in the 4th QTR, I think Paul and Griffin had a fantastic match. The blame really needs to go to the rest of the team. None of the other Clippers stepped up...especially Roddick and Crawford. If those two make even half their shots, Clippers win.
Yeah was still in his hand..But why aren't running more plays for PP at the end of the game?

That's why they get paid the big bucks..Not to wilt under the bright lights..Role players don't show up every night..Blake and Chris were having great games..They froze when it mattered..That's the reason guys get the max, to perform when others can't..
Splash brothers look like they might be too much for Memphis.
Wow..Three ball teams in the playoffs haven't lost a game since Phil's tweets..

"a win is a win" is false.
Gasol is not underrated..he put up some horrendous shots, much like Aldridge last night and he didn't have to..He won defensive player of the year when he wasn't even the best defensive player on his team...Gasol is a lot of things, underrated ain't one of them..
he has made only two all-star appearances in a seven-year career. what does that tell you?
What does that tell me 2.0?...
It tells that you won't make the all star team scoring 11.7 pts and 7.8 boards a game..
Leave it to Beno to dial up his own number for long looks at the basket when Gasol is abusing them on the inside..
CUUUUURRRRYYYY are you kidding me

How can you beat that? Memphis got to within one.
Let's go
