So here is this team's MO which I have observed:  In most of the games this team has lost, they have played a competitive 1st half, i.e. AZ, Nova, Cinn and Tulane.  Then in the beginning of the 2nd half they come out completely flat and languish in 2nd gear. The opponent goes into 4th gear and proceeds to bury them going up by 10 to 15 points in less than 5 minutes.  This team then gets down on themselves, or panics, and the shots are rushed and missed, passes hurried which create turnovers, stupid fouls are committed, and the deficit only gets worse.  They continue this poor play until with 5 minutes to go, they magically wake up and put on a futile all out effort that closes the gap, but comes up just short of winning (they actually tied Cinn but lost in OT).   They also did this in the last game of the season against Houston 2 seasons ago.

Perhaps Hurley needs to get them up for the start of the 2nd half rather than the slow way they seem to start that part of the game.  Thoughts on this theory?
