Exactly right. They've been playing like this all year....start off slow, play like ****, come alive in the third quarter, and win in the end. That won't get it done in the playoffs. You gotta play from the opening tip. And last night was probably the 80th time this year that the Grizz has come out flat and been outplayed to start the 4th quarter. Thank God for Darrell Arthur...five straight points by him really got Memphis back into the game late.
Watch the replay of the final shot by Paul. Griffin has Arthur in a bearhug holding him while Paul makes his drive. I mean two arms all the way around his waist. It is blatant. I never gripe about the refs and usually mock people who do, but you gotta make that call.
