    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (L T @ Nov 14 2006, 07:56 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Man, we have been in alot of these games. If we can learnt o close and hit the bit shots at the end we could have won 4 or 5 of these games. This will come with time and I think we will be a good 2nd half team.</div>
    Don't fool yourself. We say that every year. We aren't doing anything this year, to be honest and realistic. It's good to be optimistic and say "maybe in the 2nd half", but we have said that ever year Danny/Doc have been here. The only year it was true was in the 04-05 season when we had Toine and Payton. We are a very young team and we will continue to struggle late in games.

    But the late game struggles don't just have to do with the players not making a defensive stop or whatnot. They don't make that stop for 3 reasons:

    1. We aren't a good defensive team.
    2. We are young and most young players have a hard time dealing with pressure like that.
    3. We are TIRED! I mean come on, even valo's girlfriend noticed Doc tires our starters out.

    But again, about us being a good 2nd half team, I wouldn't count on that.

    I think he was referring toa second half team, like the second half of a game.
