Hope they can turn it around in the second half but that was a subpar performance.

ADO’s man scored like a dozen points that half. I know his D is bad but that was ugly.

Yes, with 2:30 left.

I honestly don't know why opposing coaches just don't isolate on him and run their whole offense at him

ADO is NOT the reason for this halftime deficit. It was mostly due to sloppy passing causing turnovers, and lousy 3-point shooting - primarily by CB (1-7)...

.. the team needs to play with more composure and run the offense (even when ADO is out).

I noticed that we call a set play, especially the baseline play, and we often make the pass whether it's open or not.

Well, one reason is that you only notice/remember when he's beaten, and ignore when others (e.g., CB) are too. BTW, CB's awesome block saved his awful D prior.

Agree. We had our way inside and yet our players decided to shoot jumpers and turn the ball over

I’ve noticed this for several years and from every top tier team…..players are uncomfortable shooting 8-10 footers. They practice dribbling and shooting 3s to death, but can’t hit the short jumper. And we had quite a few of those short jumper looks in the first half.

It's kind of hilarious how neither team can buy a 3.

I support CTL yanking him after that sloppy TO - that sloppy is precisely what he's in there to reduce...

These refs are going to have to start calling some of the contact on Awaka down low. Tommy needs to shed the nice guy act here on the road and protect his player.

We have 7 assists on 17 baskets - our offense is clunky today...

... That's how we lose
