Aside from Poppeds continued idiotic rotations and last 2:30 ordering nothing but treys, what were key play(s) that of our own volition cost us? Please do not put PopApologist or Pop Realist comments up, we're discussing that at length on other threads.
To me, here were some very key costly plays:
87-84 Tim just hit two fts and for the love of goodness we're right back in it only down 3. We have completely seized momentum. We play good D for 20 seconds only to give up yet another trey by that ugly assed Kidd. I don't know who (if anyone) screwed up on the D rotations but it ended up with only Tim making a way too late run at Kidd. 90-84 :depressed
90-86 Tim gets a pass on the wing 'bout 14 feet out and its just Dork between he and the rim. Dork has position, nonetheless Tim does not set up for a banker or otherwise but instead trys to ram thru him and draw the foul. Dork is outside the small arc and appears set so it looks like the charge call is correct. Unforced error big time.
92-87 Tony misses both fts.
93-90 After GHills excellent trey bomb (notice that Numb Nutts Pop?), we're only down 3. Sure looks like Tim got all ball in blocking Howard. So much so even Regina Miller says "Duncan thought he got all ball" -which is as big an admission as we will ever get from Spurs Hater Regina. Replays were too close in to show the bodies. Did Tim body him or did we get Mav raped yet again in a key playoff spot? Got rewind? Howard sinks both "gifts" and its back to -5. :depressed
You guys got other ones?
From here on out key the Popped ordered trey bombs. Aside from the trey bombs, Bonners O rebound then getting the ball stolen was another unforced error. Oh and his offensive blocking foul after the "handoff". Aggie Hoops summarized Bonners last two minutes nicely on another thread.
