This is abysmal offence though. Pathetic. You're in the bonus and you're not even pressuring for the first ten seconds of clock.

You gotta appreciate how different the NBA is now that 60 points in a half is considered terrible offense. Games used to end in the low 60's/high 70s.

Should be happy with an 8 pt lead on the road, but we let up way too much. We stopped being aggressive and kept letting the shot clock run down to 7 or 8 seconds before running anything.

They didn't score for about 5 minutes. That's terrible. Even after, they hit a couple of shots but weren't playing aggressively. It's more like a quarter plus of excellent offense followed by taking your foot off the gas.

Going into the half only up single digits is a huge failure. If we see a typical Golden State third, they're in trouble and they have no business being in trouble.

The Raps were just killing them in the paint and on the break. Why they’ve stopped that to settle for low percentage perimeter shots is beyond me. May cost them the series.

Man, the Paul Pierce pervstache looks even worse as he ages. Yikes.

I am praying to any God who will listen for a strong third From the Raptors. I am being very specific about it lest they misunderstand, which I think was my mistake in Game 2. I failed to specify.

I really hope Nurse calls TOs at the right time if they get into any sort of rhythm. I really find he lacks that timing in that regard.

Offense was way up prior to this year. Not like the change just happened now.

But you're talking about perfect offense, which I get you need if you wanna beat the Warriors. But offensively that half was above average, and they definitely left some points out there.

The half was, sure. The last six or seven minutes were horrible. That's what people were talking about, not the first quarter - the first quarter was excellent. It wasn't perfect, but it was excellent.

Start the quarter on a 6-0 run in the paint and go right back to the same perimeter BS....

Would like to see Gasol show some confidence and drop a 3. We have seen it from him before.

It was a good start but the last couple of possessions you see them get the ball in the paint and not even consider taking it to the rim or trying to get the points inside. It's frustrating to watch.

I wouldn’t want to see that at all. In fact I don’t want to see Gasol take another shot outside the paint for the rest of the game.

Lol. I get it guys, but it does stretch the D when he starts making 3's. Well he just tried one and it was a brick. Oh well.

That went well. Missed it and they went down and sunk a wide open one.
