Fouls are almost dead even. The difference is our bench shooting. If they were hitting them at their season average, we'd be up 5 points right now.

Was worried about a run like that all night. But it's really our horrible shooting that's costing us the game.

10 points is nothing if our bench starts making shots, but I just don't have much confidence they will. Naz is playing like he deserves 4 years $40 mill.

And for the most part, they're open looks, Cool. I get why Ant, Ju and Naz can't get to the hoop with the packed defense, but we're missing wide open threes just like Denver did.

I guess Finch's dilemma is that he can't just sub Clark for NAW when NAW is our second most reliable ball-handler and probably has to be in there when Conley is out. Yes, DDV can bring it up, but technically he is our best movement shooter and is ideally off the ball.

Fouls being even doesn't really mean much. It's what constitutes a foul, especially when it comes to SGA.

But completely agree. Our bench has been terrible all playoffs outside of a couple of 4th quarters from Naz.

At some point you just have to make the shots

Yep. You wont win many games only making a third of your shots.

Don't sit Ant much longer. Won't win tonight without him

Good job Naz, you scored!
