What is it about the 2nd half that results in such poor  playing?  Is it fatigue?  The other teams don't seem as tired, so I doubt it.
They couldn't get a basket to fall in last 6-7 minutes.  How come, were they good shots and just not falling?  If the misses were there, did team get any rebounds?  If not, can team practice crashing boards more?  
Are there any set plays that could be run to get some points to end scoring droughts?  Does team have them, do they need more?  Who are team's most aggressive players for those need a basket times?  
I know the personnel can't be changed at this point, so what can be done?  Can existing personnel learn new tricks?  How can you get players to buy into being a different kind of player- for example, someone who drives more aggressively to the hoop?  Dangle more playing time for them?
Is it the substitution patterns that kill momentum when it is happening?  
The turnovers were killers.  How can team improve on them?  Are they trying a strategy that isn't good?  Or are they just getting tight?
The free throw disparity is another killer.  How come we can't get as many foul shots as the other teams?  What are they doing to get so many more, can we do the same?
I just don't understand the Jeckell and Hyde quality to this team.
