End of games, part 1,000,000

Daniels is HOT. Guard him.  Don’t give them freaking easy inbounds layups duh.  I swear we try to lose games at the end.

But they DIDN’T LOSE. What about that do you not understand? Winning is winning and losing is losing. Utah WON THE GAME. That’s ALL THAT MATTERS. I tend to prefer actual facts instead of bitching when the team WINS.

Because it makes for a boring board if you just  go around going rah rah oohlah all day. 

But thanks Captain.

So what you’re saying is that its totally fine for a team to make dumb mistakes if they win?  Got it. Yeah they won, but nearly gave the game away to a very bad team after leading by 20.  The team made many mental mistakes at the end, and this has happened with coach K teams for a long time. Turnovers, not rebounding, not makng proper adjustments at the end of games, shooting 2’s with no time left when down by 3.

This isn’t meaningless bitching.  These kind of mistakes will not win against most decent teams and will certainly mean an early exit in the tournament, if they get there.
