This crowd rises to its feet. The Toro slammed it home. Garland left wing, three ball. Perfect. Garland, one of the lane, locker. The mobility pow! And Alan blocked the shot at the rim. How!

We hope that we were wrong, but unfortunately it is here.

The calves dropped a tough one in Philadelphia and then playing the third game in four nights

against the Houston Rockets dropped another game against Houston.

But all three games coming down to the wire with an opportunity to win,

just unable to pull it through.

Joining me today is my co-host Carter Rodriguez. Carter, how you doing, buddy?

Losing streaks suck. They're way worse than winning streaks, I found. And yeah, I mean,

it stinks. On one hand, you're banged up up you're not playing your best ball and you lose these three games by one point three points and four points you know so a combined eight

That put Darius on the line to end the game in the first place. So I don't think that they're playing

I totally agree. I think honestly, these games are similar to some that we've seen earlier in the season. The difference is they didn't come away with the win, right?

We've seen them turn it on.

Game that comes to mind is that Toronto win recently with Mitchell out, where
