I think what most on here are trying to say is what I'm feeling... We have no doubt the guys can come back and win this game comfortably, but you can't keep giving half-*** performances in the 1st half in tourney play if you want to be able to get to the Final Four. We won't always be able to hit high percentages in the second half and teams won't always bend over so easy to give it back. You play with fire, eventually you'll get burnt.

That's only in 80's hair band ballads. I've known some 20+ year firefighter vets that played with fire on a daily basis and never got burned.

You don't know that. Maybe we can. It's unorthodox, but if it keeps working, it keeps working.

^^^This- and if there's one thing I know about Dragons it's that they have a lot of fire to get burnt with! :spinny:

We came out with energy and showed them what we could do in the first 4 minutes. Then we got cocky and sloppy and made dumb plays. We will fix that. We have seen this more than a few times

And Georges didn't play for the last 10 minutes, but you know, hustle and energy.

I'm so tired of the reach around passes under the basket.

Bdj looked pretty upset at whatever Jameel was saying over Freddy's shoulder...
