Larry Hughes for Retirement

I really think hands down we gave them the game more than they took it. They didnt shoot lights out, they didnt beat us heavily in any category that would make you believe the took it from us.

We just missed alot of easy layups, and oh ya Gilberts 45 footer at the end of 1st quarter doesnt help when you look back at the whole thing, they went on a 6-0 run end the 1st quarter in the last 15 seconds. Once again we didnt finish the quarter strong we tossed the ball away with 5 seconds left.

Also when Big Z and Lebron both went to save the ball UNDER THEIR OWN BASKET!!!!! and gilbert got the loose ball scored an AND1, those are things you are taught in Junior High to never save it like that under your own basket.

Just so many stupid plays that didnt go our way,
1) Lebrons missed fast break dunk
2) Gilbert 45 footer before the quarter ends
3) Saved it under our own basket
4) Not taking a timeout down 3 with under 10 seconds left
5) And what I think was bad, we for once didnt go to Drew Gooden enough, anyone who is having a night like that has to have the ball in there hands until they cool off. And he never cooled off
6) 4 point play by Jamison (how often does this happen NEVER)

Usually only 1 or 2 of those things happen in a single game, the gods of basketball just werent on our side tonight.
