Message: [QUOTE="Brochacho, post: 4017119, member: 705"] The second half was brutal. Team loses by 20 if not for... JRUE HOLIDAY. Half the team had no interest in defense and on offense it seems they are afraid to be labeled a ball hog and passed up so many open shots. Jrue Holiday bailed them out but did a couple of the Gaffney open layup kickouts. I was impressed by what Bam and Jrue did. Lavine was ok. Keldon Johnson isn't as good as these guys yet but he plays balls to the wall. Everyone else stunk. The team is soft but its better to get this Olympic loss out of the way - hopefully it focuses them (you'd hope the exhibition embarrassments would but I guess not). Also found it funny that Pop benched Tatum for going under a screen on that French guy who hit a couple threes. Tatum stunk but the whole second half France went to two bigs and having Tatum at the 3/4 instead of Booker may have been helpful. [/QUOTE]
