They got like 4 open layups after Self went small when McCormack picked up his 2nd foul. That was a good adjustment in bringing Bacot out to the perimeter.
The problem of course was that Wilson and Braun simply missed all of them. [Reply]

There aren’t many but the only thing I can think of is law if averages with rebound issues and easy missed shots starting to go in. [Reply]

Can't say it's over quite yet, but it's around a 10% chance at this point and they'll need to go on a serious push to start the 2nd half. Hard to see how that happens right now.
I feel like you guys are being too kind to Agbaji.
He was entirely too passive that half. He needs to take over and hunt his shot if you all are gonna come back and win. If he plays like he did in the first half then the deficit will not change. [Reply]
Pretty simple: Braun and Wilson absolutely sucked all of the ass in the first half. they tried to play hero and failed miserably. Bad defense, bad shooting, that'll kill you. You CANNOT have two players be total shit in a half. Self should have sat their asses down, but he left them in. [Reply]
