What was the timeout situation there in the end?? You don't call a timeout to draw up a play with a little over 3 secs to go? Just get the ball into Melo over 30 feet from the basket and let him create from there?? WTF's he creating from there??? I mean I thought they bailed us out with the foul--thought we'd have a chance to regroup, get a better shot. Nope...No timeout (mistake 1), the foul (a blessing I thought--Melo had nothing that far out), then no timeout again (2nd mistake) and an awful shot. Pitiful...WOW.

Can't allow a game winning layup like that too btw. WTF was that?!? At least bottle the guy up somwhow, send him to the line. Can't allow that shot there. Jesus, BRUTAL!!!!!

even melo has to realize its time to part ways. We could use the picks/cap space to rebuild the right way and he can go to a contender, everybody wins

contender? fcuk that ****... I am betting that the Celtics are going to try and trade for him in the offseason. The Boston commentators were all praise for him.
If he goes to a team like that, at least we get isiah thomas and a whole bunch of picks.

Back your guy down and use that hook shot!! Everybody was GASSED!!! He's a good player but man is he slow and unselfish to a fault in that post sometimes. WOW. TAKE THE SHOT!! Winds up waiting, waiting, waiting...then airballs a hook shot with the clock running out. Nobody cut, nobody sprung open, nobody did ****!!! Gotta look to score the ball there, RoLo. Come on.

He got the ball with the shot clock running down. You know why? Earlier in the possession Jose tried to back down and post up Thomas and failed badly, swung the ball around and got it to Rolo with about 5 seconds left. He should NOT have the ball there--especially in key possessions. Our pg can't get penetration and the triangle blows when you need a shot. It led to Rolo getting the ball with nothing to do with it.
