Re: Can Dallas suit up enough guys tonight?
You are missing my point. You know our interior defense is weak. You know
McCarty likes to chuck it up. So why make an issue of it? I just don't get
the point of it all. We lost. Geez, we played them on their court and we
lost a close game where we didn't execute down the stretch and the
opposition hit some shots.
Satisfaction is an impossibility to be achieved on this list, and while I am
cognizant of it, I am baffled by the constant fingerpointing at our obvious
weaknesses. We know they need to be addressed so what purpose does it serve
to constantly point them out? I am not trying to be adversarial. I really
don't understand.
