With big leads. Seems like they come out and play very well in first half's but when it gets to the second half, they just play completely different. Had big leads at half of several games and just go into a shell. Sanjay for example, has 11 rebounds at half and ends with 14.
What is with this team in the second half of games?

Fatigue when you're only 9 deep is part of it. And a full court press only exacerbates the situation.
Shallow bench and a lack of an inside without Pardon has something to do with it, but this team has choked away some leads on the past couple of years and the psychology of that is huge. As Jon Crispin was saying, we need to get better attacki ng pressure
But we come out of halftime flat. I can see problems at the end of games if fatigue was the only issue but not coming out of halftime. Seems we start playing not to lose. Also if fatigue was the issue, I would think we would see more of Ash. While he might not be the offensive force others are, when I have seen him,he at least seems descent handling the ball an seems to not make mistakes.

We came out of halftime flat? I didn't see that. Saw us get tired later in the half, when we then started to collapse a bit. And Ash has really, really struggled on offense, though I admit we should have probably brought Brown in a bit earlier to help out on the press...
