An embarrassing swing mid-game saw us fall behind and never catch up. 107-103, the Cats beat the Raps and we should all be ashamed. Raptors fall to 15-30.
We entered the den and killed a grizzly with our bare hands. 114-110 the Raptors win in overtime, displaying why it’s important to practice free throws and in-bounding the ball. We are 15-29 and a Jeremy Lin injury away from the playoff hunt.
Our playoff hopes take a hit with the-man-we-all-wish-we-were takes it to the Raptors with 16 points, 21 rebounds and a 98-84 Nets victory. Our record drops to 14-29.
A nice sized lead, then a slugfest, then the usual fade in the 4th. Bucks win 105-99 and we slip to 13-28. Bright side: we still have more hopes of getting into the post season than the Leafs.
JV is a project with upside, not a focal piece. MU is doing important things right now, but his hires will be as important as firing the old guard like Kelly. We still have to sort out a long-term coach and handle the roster issues mentioned above. I think Lowry IS the backup guard, though.
