Wow, just wow.
How we gonna get outa this? No ball handlers with less than 4 fouls?

by Dodger Hater on Mar 27, 2008 9:11 PM PDT   0 recs

this is fucking insane
we can't play defense anymore because they are calling everything against us and we have three players in four trouble.

Luc comes through, starts the
turnaround. RW passes off at the PERFECT moment, Keefe like clockwork.

A couple of typical KLOVE plays, and we're there.

For the perceived "advantage" we had in other games.  No one can claim we got ANY help tonight.

They really can't, they look completely gassed.
