What are you talking about? I thought in the first half we played awesome.

I can't speak for the 2nd half, mostly because I was too buzzed to pay attention.

We have a few good talented players and out defense is good. Offensive scheme is atrocious though

I think that is why we are running more. We want to get the quick basket because our half-court sets are not productive.

I hope the guys don't quit. They are definitely getting better, but it is hard to get up game after game when you are losing.

When teams play a zone against us we always look timid, hell, even when good teams play against a zone it's normally an ugly game. The zone slows the game down and there's not nearly as many exciting things going on.

That being said we played a pretty fricking good game last night outside of the turnovers.

ETA: Oh and we got fricked by the idiots in the white and black striped shirts.

Why? Because we had a lead?

It's easy to look like you are "playing well" when you're shooting really well.

Game plan was horrible. You can't allow the best free throw shooting team in the league to get like 40% of their points from the line.

The shooting really well came from getting open shots and easy buckets off transition. I'd say that's a pretty fricking good game plan.

Yes. Rick Ray said to the team before the game, "Guys, let's foul them to the tune of 37 free throws. They'll never win the game that way and we'll be dancing in the locker room afterwards, LULZ."

Jesus F Christ.
