The opposing coaches make adjustments at halftime to stop the most consistent scoring plays for the Bobcats.

Scoreless streaks are a sign of a team that is being outcoached.

Good observation. We need to learn to adjust in the second half when we have a lead.

Yeah, but these streaks don't seem to happen until about 10 min left, not right away. Heck, we hit 7 of 8 to open up the 2nd.

I think that is an even stronger indication of coaching adjustments. I takes the oppenent a few minutes to make all the adjustments that were planned at half. Meanwhile we keep doing what worked in the first half and then when the oppenents adjustments kick in we have nothing.

Today yes, we were playing a better team, but these streaks happen all the time no matter who the competition is.

Well, looks like we're down 15 with approx. 1 minute to go in the game. I guess it's a long shot, but you never know what can happen.

13 point game... 54.7 seconds left in the game. Stranger things have happened folks. It's not over til it's over!

Were the 8 shots from the inside or the outside? I couldn't listen to the game because my wife is out shopping and I've got the kids. I say this because a team can get an outside shot at any time. It is when the outside shots stop falling that some dependable post plays or back-cuts need to be in the offense.

Not when the same thing happens every single game of the season.

Many of us turned on this coach LONG ago.

The Grizzlies are the better team and have a better coach.

What is your point?

Oh, you can't criticize him! You shall now be ostracized! Feel free to pick on any other player, however. This is deemed acceptable.

Okay, it must be the coaching... Another thing that pisses me off to no end is our crappy passing which seems to come right along with some of the whackest shot selections you'll see a team make.

If the griz are so much better then why did we out play and out talent them for 30 of 40 minutes? The last 10 minutes of this game the 'Cats played like a Y team. Nobody filled their role, and it looked like a bad Mexican circus out there.

I've been saying this for years now, at least four of them on our various Bobcat message boards. Plenty of posters here can back this up.

What is your point?
