And what was with all the standing around while the player with the ball dribbles the shot clock away in the 4th qtr and OT? Nobody was setting picks or cutting to the goal. I hate those isolation plays, with the possible exception of Dirk, who can actually make something good happen.
Playing poorly and still winning is exactly what championship teams (or 67-win teams that lose in the first round) do. It is absolutely impossible to play well for anywhere near 82 games. What makes a team really good is winning most of the time when it plays well and winning some of the time when it plays poorly.
