Embarrassing First Half

[Golden Avalanche]

I knew they'd start slow. I knew the Bulls would shoot well with our shitty defense. I get that Butler is virtually useless with head knack.

Even with that, coming off a week's rest with the season at its most crucial turning point how does a coach, along with his "Seniors", allow for such a listless and uninspiring 20 minutes?

Strong effort with shots not falling? No issue. A walking dead performance? Pathetic.

I'm not sure we needed another thread with the same discussion.

The way this is going, we should have ten more threads on the same discussion.

Defining moment of the season.

Buzz Williams has no clue, and either does Blue. Nice two brick FT's by Blue.

Getting our ass kicked---what an embarassment.

Second is much worse.

[MarquetteDano]

Not good.  How many turnovers has DJO had that has led to easy buckets on the other end?  At least four tonight at this point.

[mugrack]

Blue has looked awful, all bricks

[21Jumpstreet]

I disagree on Blue.  While he is still an offensive liability, he has had a couple hustle plays and a nice dish.

[mugrack]

still like our chances

Spoke too soon.  Nice defensive intensity.

[Blackhat]

Pretty pathetic game.  Better d play in the second half.   Man we've got some hairy wet cats on this team down the stretch.  I wouldn't trust DJO on end of game free throws if he was the last guy out there.

They won but not sure you can take anything out of the game.

The performance on the FT line to seal it once they got the lead may be more disturbing than the lackluster 38 1/2 minutes that preceded it.

Wow.

Agreed.  I don't buy that they were tired from full court pressure.  I'm not sure what it is but we absolutely lack any kind of killer instinct.  How can you come back from 16 points down, assume control of the game, and then try like hell to hand it right back?  What's missing? 

We got the W.  That's about all you can say.

I think the missed FT was both from being gassed and the added pressure to not blow this comeback they just got.  Not sure how you can't buy that they were tired though... more than a few were short and hit off the front of the rim.
