    Young team is inconsistent, more at 11.

    This is just gonna be one of those games.

    Hopefully it's just going to be one of those first halfs.

    May have been the worst half of the season. Sharpe is killing us.

    Scoot's half court shot looks better then regular 3-pointer. Should Henderson step back and take logo shots?

    This team hasn't rolled over many times, so hopefully they show something in the 2nd half.

    We can’t ask him to do something on offense and then criticize him for trying. His shot isn’t falling tonight. It happens. Oh well.

    Saw this team just a week ago in SF. They look so different here. What gives? Guys aren't even running full speed. Just going thru the motions

    I don't mind his missed jump shots, and I don't get in the effort debates, but I'd like to see him attack with a purpose. He came off a couple screens fairly slow and was quick to give it to a worse player. And obviously, when things aren't falling for him on offense, I would love to see his impact on defense go up, not down.

    Obviously Shaedon isn't playing up to his abilities. His head just isn't where it needs to be right now but I just think it's growing pains for him.

    If this season was about wins and losses I'd agree but I think Chauncey should coach Shae up at halftime and tell Shae he needs to work through this.
