Brogdon getting to the rim constantly is a real issue as well.

What is with third quarters and this team?

Coaching?

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.

teams make halftime adjustments... other coaches are getting the better of the Cs coaching.

Can anyone point to specific adjustments that other teams are making, though?

I see people blame coaching for poor third quarter starts, but nobody ever provides specific things that Brad is supposed to do differently or changes that the other team has made.

that is why he makes the big bucks I can ejoy the game without breaking down what the other team is doing, but IF there is a pattern of a team getting run over every 3rd quarter after playing well in the frst half there is a strong probability that they are not adjusting to the other team's adjustments or energy.

Pritchard in that corner instead of Smart is money.

[Phantom255x]

21-5 Pacers in the 3rd. Pathetic

[slamtheking]

that was a crap call

Brogdon getting to the rim constantly is a real issue as well.

I don't really understand how that happens, either.  He's not super fast nor is his handle really nifty.

I think he must be really strong.

if you can't point to specific adjustments brad could have made why are you so confident that it's the coach and not the players?

Embarrassing performance in this 3rd. The worst is we all knew it was coming. Going to be another double digit deficit once JB/JT go to the bench.

[liam]

Cheap ass foul.

We’re is Pritchard? He hasn’t missed in this game and he doesn’t come into a 3rd quarter we’re you can’t score?

Yeah he’s definitely a smart player but there’s definitely some breakdown happening on the perimeter/lack of closing in on drivers.

[cltc5]

Expect rob Williams to be benched next game since he’s doing well

[slamtheking]

we look like crap out there

the same players that played well in the first half? It could be but that is for the coach to fix. If they are tired then you get them t obe more fit. If they come out lethargic get them to play with more energy.. It is ultimately a coahing issue because the players have displayed their ability in the first half.
