POY needs to step up in the second half

It's a Christmas miracle that we're only down 2.

We have been down 17 to these guys in both the previous games. I feel like we are well ahead right now with a half to play.

Why was Cannen shooting a 3 to end the half? Is that what was drawn up seriously? I'm sure he can hit them, but still . . . curious play. Whatever. Happy just down 2 at half. Guys are going to have to pick up the energy a hell of a lot more on offense if we want to win this game.

Basically tied - but if we play that bad coming out of the chute and its tied then i feel pretty good. We tend to wear them down in the second half. Need to get some more fouls on some of their bigs - that would help.

Very happy to be down 2, lets play ball now

[Stallion]

the problem is we blew a chance with both Temple's bigs out early-but it could be worse

Yep.

Same could be said with them and Markus out.

i am guessing Larry's play in the time out was not - lets set up Cannen for the three.

Need to not wig out and work the play boys….

The foul situation has me a little nervous. Ryan, MK, Sterling, B Moore all with 2 each. Good thing Yanick has 0.

Need Nic (or someone like Sterling) to heat up. Hopefully we'll get Bond another foul here.

BenE has played phenomenal D on Cummings when Ryan had to be taken out. Probably played better D on him than Ryan did. He's a thick, strong dude. Hopefully that 3 will give him some confidence. Would be a great time to heat up.

I agree with Stallion that we did not take advantage, offensively, with their best bigs out.

We've scored more baskets but Temple has made 6 more free throws

Good point.

[Stallion]

as long as Nic doesn't have foul trouble we can deal with the others because of experienced depth. Nobody with 3-we're good
