Well, a solid half overall. Now time to prepare for Indiana's 20-2 run to start the 3rd or something  :-\

  • Sometimes there's no sane reason for optimism
3rd quarter couldn't be going any worse...not surprising. Hopefully we can figure it out soon!

That’s not a good sign considering the score. Pacers gonna build a lead once Cs start missing shots.

I want to talk about a thing I've noticed happening a lot with this team so far this season:

Guy penetrates the defense, gets into the paint, and ...

Stops.  Because multiple defenders are between him and the basket.  And he has no way of getting up a decent shot without getting blocked.


What follows is an awkward pull-up, fade-away, or rushed pass out to a shooter who is already covered.
You’ll have to excuse my lengthiness—the reason I dread writing letters is because I am so apt to get to slinging wisdom & forget to let up. Thus much precious time is lost.

Another pathetic 3rd quarter. (Sigh)

a pattern of poor performances in the 3rd quarter is a coaching problem..

This explanation assumes that Brad is either incapable of noticing that third quarter starts are an issue or is stupid enough to think that continuing to have the team do the same things to start the third will yield a different result.

I don't buy either of those things.

There should be a pass out to a shooter if they are packing the paint.
