Re: Can't capitalize...sorry loss...

[Cecil <cecil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Absolutely nothing wrong with voicing an opinion.  But you are saying that
they lost because of Fizer, overconfidence or a lack of a killer instinct.
It's like a multiple choice question, not an opinion.  I could say that
their failure to pay the necessary attention to Chandler in the first half
is what killed us just as easily.

But I still maintain that 3 games in 4 nights is awfully tough on a team
that plays without one of their best shooters and starting guards,
especially with Shammond struggling to find his touch at the moment.  It's
not like we have a whole lot of bench strength in the backcourt if one of
them goes down (J.R.) but life goes on.

I'm not sure that overconfidence or lack of going for the jugular played as
much of a role as you do, but rather not having Delk available.  Besides, we
do not play well there for some reason.
