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

["Jaims" <jaims@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good points...and I agree with you... but my point is just that, imo, most
of the time when they play teams below .500, they kinda let the guard down a
bit either by relaxing for the next game ahead or just the mentality of
having the ability to have great last 5 minutes (offensively and
defensively) of the game that any lead is catchable...they almost did it
again tonite but the opponent was poised and didn't buckle...

I don't know also, why we don't play well against Chicago whether we play in
their turf and ours...

Everytime we play Chicago, Philly, NJ...(those particular 3 teams), I seem
to always have an uneasy feeling whenever... Though we can whip them anytime
too...but it's just weird whenever we play those teams.
