This felt like one of those games that if we won it could have changed a lot for this team, this season. Confidence would have went through the roof and we could have beat up on the Lakers for some fun. Now, I feel like the team will just come out flat come Thursday. Man, this one was tough to take. It had so much potential to change things for us. We are always right there in games and in the playoff race, but we always find a way to stumble. Always.
We continue to hold the ball running clock in those situations and we Never score. You know start the offense before 6 six seconds left. Actually try and get a clean shot just run the offense. wouldnt 2 pts be greater than 5-7 seconds in those situations. Because our shots are horrible when running clock
I know it's the popular thing to do to hate on Collison right now because he wasn't able to hit the rim, and I know there are some saying he's worthless, saying we should trade him, etc., but he had a decent game (14 pts/4 reb/12 ast/2 stl/3 to). To have a guy like Collison step in when your starting PG goes down is a luxury. Sure, that was a very, very, very unfortunate play at the end (a shot I see him not only hit the rim but make all of the time), but we probably don't even have a fighting chance against a western playoff team if we're relying on Curry as our starter.
Kings fans have to realize that when our team is healthy, we don't have to rely on Collison making plays down the stretch because we have a great floor general in Rondo. It stings, yes, but our boys gave a hell of an effort down Rondo, Casspi, & Cauley-Stein, against a respectable opponent on their home floor, and on the night of a back to back.

My backup PG gave me a double-double and a big lead in overtime. My opponent made two miracle shots at the end, and the refs screwed me when Dirk knocked my PG over with a clear-out when my PG was manning up as well as a 6 footer can against Dirk. He took a wide open 3 early in the clock that would have been the final dagger if it went in - one that he makes a very high percentage that the opps were daring him to take. I wish he had not missed that shot. And he whiffed on the final shot when he needed to hit the rim. I wish he had not done that.
But I don't agree that my backup PG sucks. I don't know many 6' guys who would have checked Dirk better than Darren did. Just can't win em all.

Was it talent when Dirk stiff armed Collison in the throat to knock down a wide open jumper?
We gave the game away in double OT, but let's be honest it shouldn't have even got there. Dirk was treated like ****ing royalty and just cemented everything I hate about the National Basketball League. So GD shady it's not even funny.
