It’s ALARMING

[***St.Patterson-54***]

You can't play hard aggressive defense when you're fatigued

I suspect you're poking fun here, but I'd like to hear Pope explain why we play slow, lazy, and unenthusiastic most of the first half of the majority of games. Tired from the last game? Not getting enough sleep? Red Bull not kicking in yet? But we are able to turn it on in the 2nd half to fight part or most of the way back from that 20 point deficit we earned? How about we show consistent effort the ENTIRE game? Not just when we wake up and try to dig out of a hole.

It all comes down to COACHING.

I'm not sure what the problem is but it's NOT fatigue. The team is fatigued the 1st half but not the second half.BS
He's used that lame excuse the last two games.

I'm disappointed he's using that as some excuse. That really weak imo. Coach Pope needs to not try and be their buddy. Be their coach. Expect more. Demand more.
