re: Even though we lost I’m impressed with this squad.

I was not disappointed after the loss. I was expecting to be because veteran, well coached teams usually outwork and outsmart the Pels down the stretch.

That’s not what happened. Down to a very gassed Herb and Zion as your only ball handlers, with no BI/CJ, Trey has the yips, it came down to shots Hawk should have made just wouldn’t stay down. Had those stayed down I think the Pels pull it off.

That being said, I do believe there was a decent chance they get outplayed and outsmarted down the stretch if Naji doesn’t take out Butler.
